If you want to build your total, you need to pick the right accessory movements for all three lifts. Here are my favorites.

I just keep pulling as heavy as I fucking can. Them mother fuckers straighten out then

Somehow this all ties into real-world experience and the steps taken to reach success as a business owner. Trust us.

Screw up your back and being unable to squat or deadlift won't be your only concern.

The most awesome Price video I have ever seen.

This is not just for Powerlifters, this is for everyone who uses any of these three lifts or looking for way to get more out of their program. Many times the main issues are not in the execution of the big 3 but within all the accessories you do.

We will always look to improve ourselves and improve our situation as best we can with what we got. We keep trying to always build off what we have, that we use yesterday's mistakes for a better tomorrow. - Sergeant Block

I have been toying with an idea the last couple months of using threads for QA's. Here are the three Q and A threads I've posted so far.

WOW - the memories one picture can bring back in amazing and I only scratched the surface. It took 10 minutes to get past all the ones I won't write about. People get hit in the head with bars and weights, interventions, injuries, rage, blood, dickheads, pictures stuck on the ceiling, to narcolepsy.

JL Holdsworth joins Dave for a look back at the years they spent training at Westside and everything they learned there.
