Tiny pants and awesome moustaches make you ridiculously strong.
Thats how i bench in my garage, bit less that 145kg thoughYou forgot one major point.
When benching 145kg for reps, you MUST wear chinese work boots lol
That's Bill West on the right, anybody recognise the guy on the left?
It's the Governator Jim!
And I am impressed by one client who goes hard-out for a full hour. Most clients are half-hour sessions, and most need a rest or start chatting to delay things inside that half-hour.I've had guys do 2 1/2 hours on a Saturday, but it wasnt with the % you mentioned, lots of fluff in between
I myself have become more and more interested in these guys lately. Try to find info on them and you come up with mostly Louie Simmons though.
Not to open a debate on the issue but I'm not so sure "Westside" has come a long way since then as equipment has come a long way since then. They were box squatting and doing Prone Lockouts back then as well (close enough to the modern day board press everyone is so big on now).
I'd be interested in seeing much more info in this thread. I have almost all of the articles Bill West and Armand Tanny wrote from back then. What I don't have, and can't exactly glean from the info I have is the comprehensive picture of their training template, with the exception of Pat Casey.
It would seem at some point they took do doing multiple singles (5-6) followed by 1-3 backoff sets of 10 on benches and squats which is evident from articles on the Touch System in Bench Pressing and Squats as well as brief example training schedules of Joe Dimarco and George Frenn.
I wonder, however, did they build up to record singles or just stay with the same weights until they progressed. Did they have deloads or periodize in any other way etc.
If you have those articles PTC why not post them? Otherwise I'm happy to do so and/or tell people where they can find them if interested.
Right now I'm loosely emulating their old template. A couple nights ago I did 5 singles followed by 3x10 and bench and squats. Still limping

If you could post up the old articles that would be great
