NSTP #18 — Guest Zach Even-Esh on Westside Barbell, CNS Fatigue & Real Strength Training

Westside, CNS fatigue, and how elite lifters keep pushing boundaries.

In this episode, Zach and Jacob dive into the foundations of nervous system-driven strength, from Louie Simmons and Westside Barbell to cutting-edge training adaptations for speed, structure, and injury resilience. We talk triphasic vs. dynamic effort, elite FTS articles, and what really separates chaotic effort from refined neuro training.
