What are you going to do with your next cycle after this? Westside again?
I found that i do best when i do a squat and deadlift day. Basically on the squat day, i focus on hamstring strength, and deadlift day, i focus on deadlifts, and then a quad movement as an accessory. I was doing full squat with oly shoes for awhile. I know some people do leg presses. I also throw in some GHRs on both days.
Just some thoughts.

Yeah for sure the PC is the main component in a powerlifting squat. I think my stance is not wide enough to get all the benifits yet. Its around 3 feet, foot to foot, maybe 1/2 foot wider on a box.
Im not sure on my next program yet. If I do decide to do westside Ill be changing it up a bit. I dont feel that when I did westside I hit all the main lifts enough. Im not to concerned with speed work at this point either, I mean, I know the benifits of it, but I just done have the stregnth levels up high enough for it to matter. I might just follow a really single program with pretty high volume for another month and see where that gets me.
