HOW TO MEASURE

All measurements above are taken from the garment laid flat. To compare against a shirt you already own and love, lay it flat on a hard surface and measure with a tape.

Body Length

From the highest point of the shoulder seam straight down to the bottom hem.

Chest Width

One inch below the armhole, measured straight across from edge to edge. Garment laid flat, not doubled.

Sleeve Length

From the center back of the collar, across the shoulder seam, all the way down to the sleeve cuff.

Shoulder Width

From the outer edge of one shoulder seam straight across to the outer edge of the other.

Inseam

From the crotch seam straight down the inside of the leg to the bottom of the hem.

Waist

Across the top of the waistband, edge to edge. Double the number for full waist circumference.

Tolerance is the acceptable variance per garment. A "+/- 1" tolerance means the actual measurement can be up to one inch over or under the listed size.

Westside lives on forever!

Always been a big fan of Lou and the men and women of Westside barbell. I’ve probably watched every video that was ever produced from or about that gym. Now, I have my hands on some of Lou’s knowledge through his books. Yes, this guy is excited! Thanks Westside!

I haven’t received it yet , the tracking says it is still in Memphis it’s around 3 weeks late. I have the feeling I won’t get it . Also the cost after the original price was a shocker . I would love Ti get more Westside stuff but it’s way to expensive. Plus I haven’t got it .

I've read up to chp7 of the 22 in the book. The instuctions of 12 sets of 2reps@50% vs 10sets of 2 reps@60% equals the same amount of total weight. Good stuff!

Very prompt delivery. Answered my concerns about ME exercises; but still not sure about DE bench. Do I use 50 or 60 percent on the waves, or do I use the 5x5 method on DE bench day? The pictures were very helpful in the books. Great service. I plan to do a lot of business with Westside in the future, to help me break out of my long training plateau. Thanks again for the great service.
