I have noticed that since I have been following a westside type program that I have gained about 3-4lbs of bodyweight in about a week and I haven’t done anything different with my diet I am even eating less than I did when on a bodybuilding program, there have been a few days I fell under calories…I am guessing its a beginers adaption to HARD training. I also feel harder in my back and tris which is cool too.
very very common…when i first started westside circa 2000 i i weighed 180 pounds my current weight is 282…bm
Yes, weight gain can come easily on Westside, especially if you’re switching from more of a bodybuilding routine. You’re probably hammering areas that are significant weak points (this was the case for me), and so these areas will grow.
BM - that’s 100lbs! Great work.
Change is good no matter what the form.
paul yea but that isnt all good weight lol…i over did it for a while…i had to find a comfortable weight that i can live with that allows me optimal performance…the 280 region is where i plan to stay for a long long time…bm
