Westside Barbell question(s)

[billy34]

Hi
I have decided I want to do some strength training and have decided I want to try WSB. Having said that, I have skimmed the manual and I am pretty sure I will have more questions that probably aren't covered in the book. Can anyone suggest a simple beginners routine complete with accessory work as I primarily am into body composition.

thx in advance!

Growth principals for beginners in the beginners forum. Or use the search key. There is a ton of stuff to read here, from begging level to advanced. Good luck.

There's nothing about Westside Barbell in that thread

I don't know if I'd recommend a Westside style template if you're a beginner, and if you don't plan on competing in some type of strength sport.

Here is a really good intro program for a person just starting to focus on strength training.

I would maybe start with 5/3/1 by Jim Wendler.

Westside is the best side bro. I don't think he can go wrong with it cause it's one of the best ways to get strong.

For a more experienced lifter, I would agree with you.

For someone just starting, probably not. Too many options and not enough structure. You really have to have an idea of what you are doing to run Westside correctly.

Does your gym have bands and chains, just curious?

He's a member of pro muscle since 2005 so I assume he's not just starting.
I've been bodybuilding for a long time and then switched to WSB with no problem.
Just read the Book of Methods and a lot of Loue Simmons shit and you can do WSB
