Lifting Terms: ME and DE

I've found several other bloggers using ME and DE terms in their posts and just now found out what that meant. This article explains that ME: stands for Maximum Effort Method, which is that you lift one exercise for one rep at 90% - 100% of your max. DE: stands for Dynamic Effort Method, which is that you lift between 70 - 90 % of your max but do several more reps.

I think you will like this type of training. With westside you get to max out most every week on some variant of the main lift. Check out this template. It breaks the training down fairly well. http://www.elitefts.com/documents/template.htm

Good work on the recent bench training.
