metal milita training vs west side bb

2004/11/21, 05:19 AM
I found a new popular way of training ...metal militia which is an alternative method of training to west side barbell....wonder what you guys think..supposedly it's even more useful than westside barbell for bench

They may be the best benchers but their squat logs are crap.

They bench more than they squat!:big_smile:

that's a fair comment...but why not use their methods for where they are the best...ie bench...so why not combine different training methods...

Most of the members of metal militia spend more time on the bench because they don't focus as much on the squat or deadlift. Therefore they can put more energy into the bench press.
