xen post your west/dark side program on here for him to look at…

Here you go man, hope this can be of some help.
[i]
Hopefully this won’t be hard to understand. I wrote it up in computer lab. I placed how the protocal will be organized first (days I’ll be training etc). I placed DE, ME, RE days together separated by upper and lower body distinctions.

So first you’ll get the general idea, then you’ll get the actual program.

If you want me to divide it week by week. Let me know.

I have one week where I use upper body pulling for ME/DE

Modified Conjugate Template. Includes some O-lifts and is not for power lifting. This is to gain strength, size, and maintain athleticism for Mixed Martial Arts and other combative sports.

A LOT of Torso Work on ME: Lower Days, Some Torso work on DE: Lower days.
Maximal lifts are to guage weak areas and how strength should be brought up. And to increase strength in certain ranges. Auxillary work is to hypertrophy muscles that need to be strengthened. Strength comes from major ME and power from major DE movements. Repetition Effort days are for hypertrophy, allowing for a built in “rest” period, and strength endurance. GPP I?ll address @ a later time.

For auxillary work, a general guideline is that the higher the reps the lighter the weight and vice versa.

Monday: ME-Lower Body
Tuesday: GPP/Active Recovery
Wednesday: ME- Upper Body
Thursday: GPP/Active Recovery
Friday: DE- Lower Body
Saturday: DE- Upper Body
Sunday: REST (possible active recovery)

Recovery:
Epsom Salt Bath 1-2x/week
Massage Every Night (vibrating chair & Device)
Gallon of Water/Day
1.5-2gm of Protien/Day
8hr + Sleep
Vitamin C (1-2gm/day)
Cod Liver Oil Pills
Magnesium

West/Dark Side-

Week 1: Lower- ME, DE; Upper-ME, DE
Week 2: Lower- ME, DE; Upper-ME, DE
Week 3: Lower- ME, DE; Upper-ME, DE (PULL)
-Pulling motion used as ME/DE in upper body to emphasize the necessity for it in the clinch work/etc involved in wrestling motions and to balance physique and strength.

Week 4: Lower- RE, DE; Upper-RE, DE

  • Recovery, Hypertrophy

hey xen, have you started winter conditioning with your team yet?

i’ve never hated indoor turf more in my life

Hoosier, I don’t play football, I fight. This is just a pretty decent protocal I came up with. I actually would like to play football, and I can make damn good combine times(especially at my size, nearing 170 (thank u 20rep squats), 4.47 Forty, rep 225# 8x, deadlift (haven’t maxed in a 5-7 months but i can rep 405 for 8)), but I go to USC.

So it’s not like I"ll be making the football team. LOL!!

*Oh, and for speed days… I changed it from 103 squats and pulls to 53 squats, 53 pulls. ****

You’re O lifting 1x a week. Velocity is the key. There’s been a lot of threads regarding westside and Olifts lately. One of them has an article by Louie Simmons on how he would train an O lifter according to the conjugate protocal.

Check that out, pretty insightful. He basically says to do everything I did in the above program.

what discipline?

i want to think he’s a mixed martial artist if i remember correctly (is that correct?), so he’s training in disciplines adequite for ultimate fighting
