A while back, I posted that i lost about twenty pounds (185-190 > 165-170) from my bench max when i first tried westside. After that i rested for a few day then started a PTP cycle (as desribedhere ). the idea is basically to do two sets of five with high tension (keeping the whole body tight) at a high frequency (up to 5 days/week), but i only did 3 or 4 days/week because i was getting sore after most workouts. anyway, i actually started each workout with a heavy static hold until it started to get really hard (usually 5-10 seconds), then rested 4 min, did my first set of five, rested 5 min, did my second set of 5 with 90% of the weight that i used for the first set. i started my cycle with with 125x5 for my first set and in just under a month i finished with 175x5 but felt like i could have gone heavier... i think i probably got 50 lb on my max (about 215) but havent been able to lift hard since then because of school work and other stuff i've been doing... just thought some people would find this interesting.
