10 Things That Will Make Your Training BETTER…
A big part of my personal journey recently has been about improving my training. I’ve come at this goal from a bunch of different directions and used many different tools and ideas from a wide range of disciplines and areas to make it happen. Not everything I’ll suggest is typical, but it IS something that’s [...]
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? So, maybe it looks like this… Day 1 speed box squats/speed [...]
Adding Yoga to a Strength Program…
Today’s question comes from Troy by email. Here it is: “Hi Adam – You mention your love of yoga and martial arts in a recent video. I’ve been a martial artist since I was seven years old. I started lifting weights two years ago, and I’ve very recently started Jim Wendler’s 5/3/1 [...]

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 [...]
Is Bodybuilding Relevant Anymore?
What’s this dude’s Fran time? I’m not sure what got me thinking about this topic. It might have been seeing old Bill “feels like Deca” Phillips on an early morning infomercial promoting his new book. Or, it might just be that I think too much… This was originally going to be a somewhat humorous post. [...]
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.
