The Westside System of Powerlifting is a training methodology created by Louie Simmons that utilizes conjugate periodization to train strength, power, hypertrophy, and muscular endurance simultaneously. It employs dynamic effort training with submaximal loads moved as fast as possible, maximal effort training with heavy loads close to 1RM, and repetition method training. Variations include modifying exercises to be sport-specific and incorporating Olympic lifts and explosive movements. The system aims to improve athletes' strength, power, and multi-joint movement patterns while decreasing injury risks when compared to traditional linear periodization models.
