I understand what you're saying Jdmalm.

Here's the thing...I was writing an extensive guide on Wendlers, and because people often customize it with Westside, I had to address that issue in the article.

I agree that far too many people over-complicate things. But I would add that people also need to find their own way with routines as they progress beyond intermediates, and that ideas often inspire new approaches.
