What was in your shake today? Cos too heavy and it will make you sluggish during workout.

2 scoops of whey and water. I didnt feel sluggish just a bit weak for the chinups, as for the bench, i kinda rushed it so things didnt go as plan

My westside journey is over, my body is nagging me to take a break, sore joints and all and i just bombed a 130 bench, it was so bad i thought i tore my pec for a moment

Anyway... my conclusion
-To anyone who wishes to follow west side, variation is important, not only on the big lifts but on the accessory movements as well, one of the mistakes i made was not having too many variations for triceps, i did mostly dips for triceps on D.E day and it was too often
-Accessory movements should be taken to 4 sets, i didnt get much of a workout with only 3, if you have it in you go for 5
-Try not to attempt a PR on the actual lift itself too often, if possible attempt once in 2-3months, other times work on variations such as floor presses, incline b.p etc etc
-On each M.E lift, dont always focus on breaking the P.R, if you do you'll only disappoint urself and make urself more prone to injury, on most days focus on hitting ur max
-On bench variations, pause only for floor presses, for the rest work on the stretch reflex
-Work on your technique when lifting heavy this is the one part that screwed me over today, its one thing to have good form with light weights but when u move on to heavier weights your form tends to get crappy, especially when ur working on the stretch reflex
-Westside still produced results, although i only got in 3 days of training a week
-Lastly, know when to deload/rest, i dont know 'bout most people but im able to tell now whether im ready to break a P.R on that day or if im gonna screw up, listen to the body and see how it responds on the first few sets
Before westside:

Bench Press: 120
Deadlift: 180
Squat: 110

After westside:

Bench press: 140
Deadlift: 200
Squat: 160

Unfortunately i only managed to get 1 video, but i wont be posting it here tongue.gif

Gonna take a break now, after that gonna try a routine that doesnt emphasis so much on heavy lifting
