Got my book yesterday! I've skimmed through some of it quickly. TONS of information in which IMO it's like he's talking to you vs. being extremely general like in all his articles. Says a lot of things like, "So which is better? For me, I prefer.." There's also a ton of workouts listed and WHY each one is placed the way it is. For example, when he talks about 'workout 5' being a band press, he ellaborates on how to set them up, and which one you should use depending on what you bench.. Plus it tells you exactly how much weight is on the bottom, midway, and top in pounds.
One thing kinda worth noting is that he's NOT a fan of board pressing if you start the bench with your pecs. He says it's a test of strength, not a strength builder. That said, Westside he says does use 1-3 boards as well as occasionally 4-5 for the triceps. After reading all that, it was kinda weird because he backs up his viewpoint with a few analogies, then says that one of his lifters lost 60 lbs at lockout after all his board pressing, and his top ten benchers don't bother with them.. But, I think it's just HIS viewpoint on them, and he says that all the Culver City Westside guys love incorperating them. <- That's why I'm liking this book because he's not afraid to say his opinion on something, but admits that many others like doing "x" and "y".
Probably will take me a while to comb through the entire thing, so I'll update this later.
