Abs And Finishers

Abs And Finishers

While we didn't have time to get to the typical workout finishers, it should be noted that Phelps (and the conjugate method in general) is big on ab work, finishers, and recovery work.

Abs, for starters, are not trained for aesthetics here. Training your core strength and stability may seem tedious, but doing it properly can yield big results. The core work Phelps has me doing includes decline sit-ups with a plate overhead, barbell side bends, and banded oblique twists.

Finishers and recovery work can mean a slew of different things to different people, but in the case of Westside Barbell, it most often comes in the form of sled drags, farmer's carries, or the prowler, all done with a certain percentage of your one-rep max deadlift for a certain distance.

Whether you're for Westside, against Westside, or take no side at all, give this workout a try and tell Laura Phelps via Instagram that it didn't leave you waddling the next day.
