I used this book to better understand the methods employed by westside barbell to redesign a training program tailored to my rodeo event and it does not disappoint. Strength is through the roof, as well as mobility. Highly recommend this book to anyone who considers themselves to be a serious athlete or lifter.

The Westside Barbell Book of Methods

Struggling through a system of waves inside waves inside waves, book of methods helped clear a lot up for me. Im sure it is clear and simple to guys who lived it. From the outside looking in not so much. Other templates out there and breakdowns seem to be missing stuff. Have parts cut out and are unclear. This book, Louies other writings and the Westside blogs he did got me sorted out enough I was able to get my four week waves down on a chalkboard. percentages, exercises, ect. Honestly this book is a must have. I wish i had read this before hearing anyone else's take on the system.

This book is a collection of training methods I have obtained throughout the past 30 years. I spent 12 years training with the wrong methods, one being the western periodization that is a dead-end street. I use a 3-week wave system which leads into circa max and delayed transformation. The soviet system I started 30 years ago prolonged my career to the point where I made top 10 lifts at 54 years old. It has enabled Westside lifters to break 100 plus world records and has helped countless more. I am proud our resume is never up to date. Why? Because we constantly break new records all the time, check out our top lifts in the back of the book and then check out our website for updated records. You will be amazed!

Louie earned a Top Ten ranking for 34 years from 1971 to 2005. Louie is known for three-week wave periodization. He also is credited with establishing Combinations of Resistance Methods using bands and chains in conjunction with the barbell, contrast methods, and plyometrics while utilizing the Conjugate System.

If you purchase one book, make it this. Starting Strength is the definitive publication for anyone looking to learn about the fundamental of barbell weight training, the primary lifting movements, and basic programming.

Some of my favorite books about training contain methods of improving performance for both barbell and non-barbell sports. While those books are great to read, and many of the principles apply to powerlifting, I wanted the list here to focus exclusively on powerlifting.

This manual introduces the Conjugate Method of training, a training program that seeks to improve all athletic qualities at once and focuses on weaknesses. The book talks in depth about the maximal, dynamic, and repeated effort methods. It also gives an in-depth breakdown of how to train for each of the three competitive lifts.

These 3 factors can help decide if a powerlifting book is worth reading. The author should be able to check all three boxes. As more people read their books, more people should have success if their methods are sound. 041b061a72
