Well this program originally was supposed to be only 4 days chest and arms together. But I was going nuts when I first started (I was going cold turkey from at least 2 packs a day) so it was more for filling a void, but I have never been this motivated before all I do is eat sleep dream 500. It is the last thing I think of at night and the first thing in the morning, I’m sure that sounds nuts. I also think my gains have come fast from muscle memory and genetics, my max bench in the Corps was 350 and I have always been a little stronger than the average Joe walking down the street. But I can tell things are starting to get a little harder now and this is when the real work starts. Yes until now it has worked for me but in the back of my head I always knew I wasn’t doing it right but I am a little superstitious and since I just hit a personal best of 400 on the bench I didn’t want to question anything I just wanted to keep going and ride it out. But now that I am talking to other people about it, is making me take the blinders off. I probably will go back to 4 days. And yes week 16 is week one and the first four weeks are designed as a conditioning phase and up to mid point in the cycle your supposed to use the lighter weight to explode through the exercises preparing your body for the heavier loads to come, progressively increasing in weight each week. At the end of the cycle you should be looking at gaining 25 or more lbs to each main lift. In your opinion are these kinds of gains achievable in Westside for a natural lifter?
