Westside for Football/Throwing

Many believe that Westside programs are only effective for multi-ply lifters.  While this may or may not be true, the underlying methodology, conjugate periodization, is applicable to all types of weight training.  The problem is that the majority of athletes are not knowledgeable enough to create a program to suit their needs using conjugate periodization, so they simply run a cookie-cutter Westside program which is probably sub-optimal.

Only one movement per block is done each day, not all four.  For blocks that show "Cycle" at the top, the movement changes each week, rotating between the four.  For blocks that show "Week," the movement is performed for three weeks before moving on to the one below.

This is meant to be a summer/offseason program.  This document is intended to be printed and used as a training log.
