As in the max effort method used by the westside lifters? eg the one mentioned here: http://www.t-mag.com/html/body_133per.html Thanks a lot! |
1) The rest period varies a little but I think about 1.5 - 3 minutes is about right...You should try and keep the workout around 1 hr - 1.5 hours... I talked to Animal Mass on the phone the other night, and he is going to tweak the program a little and back off the overall volume..I believe he wants to be able to finish each session in about an hour..
2) It's Max..as in 1 Rep Max. Although Dual factor and West side have similarity, they are differant workouts. Max Effort days with West side are Heavy Singles, Doubles or Triples with lots of rest in between...Where Dynamic effort will focus primarily on speed like 8X2 @ 70% 1rm with only 45 seconds to one minute between sets...
I like West Side...and am Definatly an advocate of the program. If you want to learn more about West Side..post something here, and I'm sure that between AM, Freddy, Gavin and Myself,,,we'll be able to give you the in's and out's of the program
Take care,
