Squat, Deadlift and Bench Press Guidelines for Women…
In my last video blog on Westside and CrossFit, I mentioned the 300/400/500 Bench Press/Squat/Deadlift numbers Stuart McRobert advocates as a guideline for male athletes. At the time, I wasn’t sure what the numbers were for WOMEN. So, I did a little digging and came up with some answers. (Oh, BTW, by “Squat” I mean [...]
More on Westside and CrossFit…
This is a question from Tom on the topic of scheduling Westside Barbell training within a CrossFit program: “Adam, What do you think of doing a 3 on/1 off program with 1 of the 3 on days being exclusively strength based using Westside guidelines?

This answer is in response to Cara’s question below: “Hi Adam, enjoyed the videos this morning! I’ve been following a Louie Simmons strict shoulder strength program that I have been doing in the a.m. It is so hard to listen to your body and not overtrain…. Do you think it is possible to come [...]
You’re Only as Strong as Your Foundation…
It’s funny how you can use a principle in other parts of your life and then COMPLETELY ignore it in an area where it can make a BIG difference. I guess that’s the folly of being human at times – a classic case of missing the forest for the trees. A lot of you know [...]
This is My Journey – Guest Post by Linda McFeeters
One of the things I LOVE about being part of Strong is the New Skinny is all the incredible people I get to meet. My new friend Linda McFeeters just happened to post on SINS about her training goals and a bunch of weight she lost. I can be pretty impulsive at times and I [...]
Westside in West Hartford
Last weekend I had the rare opportunity to train with an absolute legend in the Powerlifting world. Louie Simmons made a rare appearance in Connecticut for a CrossFit Powerlifting Cert.
