The myth that aerobic conditioning steals your strength is the exact reason most experienced lifters hit an early plateau and stay chronically beat up. From running high-volume CrossFit boxes to completing a PhD in Kinesiology, Jason Brown realized that rigid, maximal-effort splits were wrecking real-world athletes who lacked the autonomic recovery to handle constant strain. By pairing full-body Conjugate rotations with targeted low-intensity conditioning, he reverse-engineered a minimum-effective-dose system that expands work capacity while protecting long-term durability. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Concurrent vs. Conjugate: The sports science definition versus Westside's real-world, in-the-trenches application. The Interference Effect: Why targeted aerobic work builds underlying recovery mechanisms instead of stealing strength and muscle gains. Full-Body vs. Split Routines: The three-day structural shift that improves program adherence for stressed lifters. Minimum Effective Dose: Why four to six strategically selected exercises can outperform high-volume fatigue traps. Autonomic Stress Regulation: How to leverage heart rate metrics to auto-regulate training when life caps your ability to handle additional strain. MEET THE GUEST Jason Brown is a Westside Barbell Special Strengths Coach, CSCS, author of Lower-Body Training, and Kinesiology PhD candidate. A combat veteran and former CrossFit affiliate owner who has programmed for tens of thousands of athletes worldwide, Brown specializes in refining Conjugate principles to build maximum work capacity, real-world performance, and longevity for lifelong lifters.

Eugene O'Neill's play Hughie has been performed at least three times by Al Pacino (The Godfather, Frankie & Johnny, Scent of a Woman) throughout his career. It is a one-act play set in the lobby of a small hotel on a West Side street in Midtown Manhattan, New York, during the summer of 1928. Only characters exist in the play - small-time gambler Erie Smith and Hotel night clerk Charlie Hughes. Pacino played the role of Erie Smith in each production. Costume designer Candice Donnelly joins the podcast to discuss working on the stage production. She talks about what designs Pacino wanted for the clothes, why he didn't care about fitted shoes and how he never wanted to try any of the clothes on. Candice also talks about the type of fabric needed for the suit that Al wore every night.All About Al: The Pacino Podcast is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby. Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a man who was homeless and planning to end his life gets stopped by a stranger at a bus stop? This week on Midweek Motivation, Jess sits down with Ben and Monica Morrow, a married couple at Westside who carry two very different stories of pain, transformation, and the kind of change that only God can produce. If you've ever wondered whether people can actually change, this conversation might convince you.Discover:How a stranger's prayer at a bus stop became the turning point in Ben's lifeWhy it took 10 years after that moment for Ben to call himself a ChristianMonica's journey of searching for healing in all the wrong places before finding GodWhat Men's Alliance and Women's Alliance at Westside have done for their growthWhy they believe change isn't a destination but a daily, active choiceTransformation isn't instant, and it's rarely clean. Ben and Monica are honest about that. But what God has built in them, in their marriage, in their family, and in their daily choices is evidence that real change doesn't require you to have it all together first. Sometimes it starts with one prayer you didn't expect.Key Takeaways:Change is inevitable. The question is what direction you'll change in.God doesn't waste your pain. He makes purpose out of it.Community accelerates transformation. You weren't meant to do this alone.You don't have to fix yourself before God can start working.Saying yes once can set an entire life on a different trajectory.Question for you to think about:What if the change you've given up on is closer than you think, and the only thing standing between you and it is one decision to lean in?If this encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it this week.

It's an all-out attack on both genders by women, and someone's got to step up. Whether it's preference-related or desire-related, someone's got to speak up for all sides, right? A woman hops online to accuse women who don't date bisexual men of homophobia, and someone's got to set the record straight. Then another woman hops online to speak on why financially independent women treat their men differently once they're up, and someone's got to set the record straight on that too... >Give your feedback here

Faith can be passed down, but it cannot be inherited. Rehoboam followed the patterns of his father instead of seeking the wisdom of God, showing us how easily faith can become cultural instead of personal. But one generation can change everything.

In the pre-World War II era of the "Chicago Cowboy," Jacob Rubenstein was a striking figure of manic energy on the West Side. Working out with desperate intensity at local YMCA clubs, he obsessed over his physical conditioning and receding hairline, famously boasting to anyone who would listen that he could "hit harder than Joe Louis." Struggling to stay afloat after the tragic murder of his labor union mentor, Jack teamed up with business associates to launch the Spartan Novelty Company. Operating out of cheap, transient hotel rooms, they chased the cash-heavy flow of "punchboards"—unregulated, highly addictive, gray-market gambling devices that were sweeping across the country.When the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, Jack's deeply emotional patriotism spurred him to manufacture patriotic plaques and plaster busts of his idol, Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, his own perfectionistic psychology sabotaged the dream; his obsessive-compulsive design delays kept the products in development for months until cheap, mass-produced competitors flooded the market, leaving him completely broke once more. But as his commercial novelties fell apart, a much more physical struggle was brewing. Confronted by the rising local threat of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund, Jack and a crew of tough young Jewish brawlers from the Lawndale Pool Room mobilized, taking pool cues and heavy wooden clubs directly to the fascists' street rallies to defend their community with primal ethnic pride.This high-voltage era highlighted the ultimate Jacob Rubenstein paradox: he was a volatile, quick-tempered brawler, yet he acted with a deeply ingrained sense of chivalry. The same man who would crack heads at a Nazi rally was also a self-appointed protector of the weak who violently beat college students for hurling racial slurs at a Black piano player, and threw himself into a savage street fight to rescue an older woman being abused by a stranger. This riveting chapter of Jack's life draws to a close in May 1943 when the street hustler of Roosevelt Road is finally drafted into the U.S. Army Air Forces—setting the stage for a surprisingly disciplined military career that would be punctuated by explosive, defensive violence.

In the late summer of 1933, with the Great Depression holding Chicago in a frozen grip, twenty-two-year-old Jacob Rubenstein and his sister Eva packed a single suitcase and looked west. Under the sun-drenched palm trees of California, a strange transformation occurred. The volatile, quick-tempered kid from the West Side tenements seemed to vanish, replaced by a well-mannered, meticulously dressed young gentleman who openly admired local beat cops and managed newspaper subscription crews. Yet, the street-hustler DNA remained active underneath his polished veneer as he ran lucrative racetrack tip sheets from Santa Anita to Bay Meadows.But this fragile West Coast peace was shattered in 1937 when his mother, Fanny, suffered a complete psychiatric collapse. Returning to the familiar grime and chaos of his family's Chicago home, the polished gentleman dissolved. Jacob immediately plunged back into the raw, competitive arena of the streets—scalping tickets, selling cheap watches out of his pockets, and violently beating a man to the pavement who hurled an anti-Semitic slur at him.Desperate for a real position of authority and respect, Jacob found his calling in late 1937 as an organizer for the Scrap Iron and Junk Handlers Union. It was here that he met the ultimate mentor who would redefine his life: Leon Cook, the union's brilliant, idealistic, college-educated attorney. Jacob idolized Cook, pouring his manic energy into the union while frequently serving as its blunt instrument and "muscle" to keep hostile employers and wildcat strikes in line.Then came the cold night of December 8, 1939, when a bitter power struggle ended in gunfire. Mob-aligned union president John Martin shot Leon Cook at point-blank range, a lethal blow that eventually claimed Cook's life and allowed the Chicago syndicate to seize control. Shattered and violently frozen out by the mob, twenty-eight-year-old Jacob made a profound, deeply emotional choice to preserve his mentor's memory: he legally adopted Cook's first name as his own middle name. From that moment on, he was Jacob Leon Rubenstein—and later, Jack Leon Ruby. Every time he signed a document, introduced himself to a Dallas police officer, or handed out a strip club business card, he carried the name of a murdered man and the heavy shadow of his violent past.

On November 24, 1963, Jack Ruby stepped out of the shadows of a crowded Dallas police basement and shot Lee Harvey Oswald live on national television, silencing the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy forever. In a single moment, Ruby opened a canyon of doubt and conspiracy that has never closed, cementing himself as one of the most mysterious and controversial figures in modern history. To the public, he was a Dallas strip club owner and midnight hustler, a man of wild and irreconcilable contradictions who could beat a patron into the concrete  one moment, and weep over a sad news story, buy groceries for a struggling mother, or cook tender lamb chops for his beloved dogs the next. But who was the man beneath the dark fedora? In this first episode of our deep-dive series, we takes a wander back to the core of the JFK story to understand the volatile behavior of this highly complex individual by looking past the neon lights of the Carousel Club and rewinding the tape to where it all began.To trace the roots of Ruby's explosive violence, we travel back to March 25, 1911, and the crowded, impoverished immigrant streets of Chicago's West Side. Born Jacob Rubenstein, he was the fifth of eight living children born to Joseph and Fanny Rubenstein, Polish Jewish immigrants who had fled the violent, repressive rule of Tsarist Russia. Growing up in what his own family described as a below-middle-class ghetto on Morgan Street, Jacob's world was defined by coal smoke, ethnic street fights, and extreme domestic trauma. The Rubenstein home was a toxic pressure cooker of parental strife and heavy violence, driven by his father's severe alcoholism and explosive rages, leading to constant police interventions and an eventual family disintegration when Jacob was just ten years old.As his family collapsed, Jacob watched his mother, Fanny, descend into severe, tragic mental illness. Plagued by a bizarre, lifelong delusion that a sharp fishbone was permanently lodged in her throat, she spent years dragging her children to clinics, eventually slipping into intense paranoia and being committed to Elgin State Hospital in 1937. Left to run wild, Jacob dropped out of school by the eighth grade to become a street hustler, earning the lifelong nickname "Sparky"—a name born of his awkward walk or lightning-fast temper, which he so thoroughly despised that he would instantly attack anyone who dared say it to his face. Despite the childhood neglect, Jacob remained deeply devoted to his mother, internalizing her frantic anxieties and intense volatility in ways that would profoundly shape his adult life.By age eleven, Jacob's truancy and incorrigible behavior at home led to an evaluation by the Institute for Juvenile Research. The resulting 1922 psychiatric report is a chillingly prophetic document, describing an egocentric, quick-tempered, and highly erratic child desperate for attention he could never receive at home. Declared a dependent ward of the state, Jacob was torn from his siblings and isolated in foster homes, fostering a desperate need to "be a somebody" that would follow him all the way to the Carousel Club. Decades later, both the Warren Commission and his defense attorney, Melvin Belli, would weaponize this traumatic past—with Belli claiming that in Ruby's highly emotional, shattered mind, shooting Oswald was a bizarre attempt to protect a grieving Jacqueline Kennedy, substituting the First Lady for the broken mother he could never save in Chicago. Join us as we begin this miniseries, uncovering how the scars of Chicago's streets paved the way for the fateful basement in Dallas.

Ward 7 is made up of the west side of Batavia, and contains a lot of the West Side staples we often think about: Engstrom Park, the Mooseheart Corn Fields, the High School, and yes, Randall Road. And then there's the large groups of brand new homes, a bunch of houses with little history, and a downtown that is not as walkable as you might like to most.It's an area without a lot of focal points for gathering, and the ones that are there are largely commercial and impersonal. So how do those who live in Ward 7 create a sense of belonging where they are?In this episode, we spoke to city council members Robin Barraza and Bob White about the proactive ways Ward 7 residents create opportunities for connection and community in their neighborhoods.PLUS: Richard and Alexa discuss the uneasy local reaction to a brief run-in with a certain famous blimp.For 630 Members: Richard and Alexa discuss local uses of AI, and Robin and Bob share their Batavia Favs.Listen to previous conversations with Batavia City Council members.Check out previous episodes of the Batavia Insider, available for 630 members.This episode of Area Code: Batavia is sponsored by 212° Construction Group.Subscribe to our newsletter to be updated about Area Code: Batavia and find out when new episodes are available.

This episode is the full breakdown — what periodization actually is, why it doesn't work for tactical populations, and what to do instead.What we get into:Defining the thing first — because not a single person in the online discourse could do it. The NSCA definition: the logical and systematic process of sequencing training interventions to achieve peak performance at appropriate time points. Every version of periodization, whether block, linear, nonlinear, conjugate, or West Side, shares the same five assumptions. The most important one: that biological adaptations follow a predictable course. They don't.Why periodization is a Soviet export — and what that means. Most of the foundational periodization literature is mapping sports science onto communist economic planning. General adaptation syndrome is not a predictive model. It's a descriptive model. Hans Selye never explained what makes something stressful, never told you how much stress causes adaptation, and never specified when the resistance phase begins or ends. Also, his exhaustion phase was death. Not fatigue. Death. The field of stress physiology left him behind decades ago.The Milo and the bull problem — and why progressive overload is almost universally misunderstood. Milo didn't get stronger because the bull got bigger. He was able to lift the bigger bull because he got stronger. The causal arrow runs the other way. What to do instead — navigating versus forecasting. Shorten the prediction window to what the environment actually allows you to control. A week at a time. The low-hanging fruit problem. You've got people debating intricately periodized strength plans for soldiers who are failing a two-mile run where the passing standard is a ten-minute mile pace. That's what this conversation is really about.Also in this episode:Joey Chestnut vs. Usain Bolt in the Glizzy Gauntlet — one hot dog, then a hundred meters.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Ken gives us an update on the war in Iran. Is Iran siding with the left-leaning media, especially after meeting with the USA in talks to end the war? This may be a political and strategic stunt by Iran because they dislike President Trump and his actions. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged New Yorkers to take to the streets and protest when Benjamin Netanyahu comes to the United Nations event in September, which comes after Mamdani is firm on attacking BIBI.  Ken interviews Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett. Gregg breaks down the laws and repercussions of how Mayor Mamdani's threats to arrest BEBE Netanyahu could get him in trouble. States like New York and California are openly defying federal law and sanctuary.  Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Ken talks about the stabbing in NYC on the Upper West Side, which is being investigated as a hate crime caused by the suspect, Raul Morales, for yelling Jewish hate words and going on a stabbing spree. Billionaire George Soros is one of the biggest donors to protestors for the left-wing agenda and movement.   Ken interviews Politics Reporter for NJ Advance Media, Brent Johnson. Brent and Ken try to understand the psychological reason NJ Governor Mikie Sherrill came out and said non-citizens in NJ were registered to vote by mistake. The guys break down what a state has to lose by sharing its voter rolls with the government. Republicans will use what Governor Sherrill did to justify why the Save Act should get passed.

Send us Fan MailWhat do you do when your whole life, the people closest to you have made you feel invisible, judged, and written off? Leslie spent years carrying anger so heavy that her honest prayer was for God to just destroy everyone who hurt her. But God had something different in mind. Jess sits down with Leslie to hear how one revelation about darkness and light, one God-given name for her son, and one church community changed everything about how she sees herself and the people around her.Discover:The moment God reframed darkness and light in a way Leslie had never consideredHow God named her son Isaiah as a personal promise of salvation and visibilityWhy Leslie kept "looking in the cupboards" while God's blessings were already on the tableThe raw journey from wanting violence to learning to love the people who hurt herHow the Names of God series at Westside deepened a faith that was already on fireThis episode is for anyone who's ever felt unseen, unbelieved in, or too far gone. Leslie's story isn't polished or tidy. It's a real woman, still in process, still learning to hand God her anger one piece at a time and watching Him replace it with peace, joy, and purpose. If you've been focused on the dark, this conversation will remind you: the light never moved. You just turned away from it.Key Takeaways:Darkness doesn't choose to exist. It can only occupy the space where light is absent. When you feel surrounded by darkness, check your focus.God sees you in the billion-person crowd. The small, personal provisions (the parking space, the timing, the community) are proof.The blessings you're looking for might already be on the table. They just don't look like what you expected.You don't have to be strong to step into what God's calling you to. He's made strong in weakness.Relationship with God is not religion. It's not checking a box on Sunday. It's friendship, conversation, and daily trust.Question for you to think about: What are you holding onto (anger, bitterness, frustration) that God is asking you to hand over so He can replace it with something better?If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear Leslie's story today.

On this Friday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recaps President Trump's primetime address from the East Room of the White House focused heavily on election integrity and declassified documents, reviving familiar claims about election vulnerabilities and the 2020 election and urging the passage of a bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. In other news of the day, federal agents raided the homes of ex-New York City sheriff Anthony Miranda in the Big Apple and Puerto Rico, the burgeoning encampment spreading along Manhattan's West Side has become a symbol of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's wrongheaded homelessness policies — and nine blocks east - a mini-Skid Row in Midtown is sad evidence of his economic neglect, and Queens has erupted into massive, spontaneous street celebrations and fan fests following Argentina's thrilling World Cup run and their advancement to the final against Spain.

Jason DeRusha talks with Monica Bravo from West Side Community Organization about the renaming of Cesar Chavez Street in West St. Paul, why now, getting community input, what they're looking for and more.

Four months ago when a New York Times investigation alleged that César Chavez – an icon of the Latino civil rights movement – had sexually assaulted young girls, the Latino community began to contend with his legacy. In St. Paul's West Side, which is a vibrant Mexican neighborhood, that means renaming César Chavez Street. Some of that work begins Thursday. The West Side Community Organization is hosting its first of three community input sessions to rename the street. West Side Community Organization Executive Director Monica Bravo spoke to Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about the renaming process.

"Your skill set's not going to be lifting weights—it's going to be the sport, but you still have to learn how to strain." For thirteen seasons, including eleven in the collegiate trenches, Lucas White has survived the brutal, revolving-door reality of Division I strength coaching by adapting elite powerlifting principles to hyper-talented athletes who have never had to grind out a rep in their lives. By rejecting the copy-and-paste templates of traditional football programs and introducing Westside-influenced periodization to a 120-man roster, he transformed the weight room from a mandatory chore into a high-stakes diagnostic lab where athletic longevity is built and weaknesses are ruthlessly exposed. INSIDE THE EPISODE Managing the Chaos: The exact mechanics of running a multi-wave conjugate system inside a high-pressure Power Five football program. Specialty Bars as Diagnostics: Why safety squat bars, cambered bars, and Swiss bars are essential diagnostic tools rather than optional accessories. The Private Sector Carryover: What elite collegiate programs must steal from underground powerlifting gyms to drastically reduce player mileage. The 20% Rule: Cultivating absolute, bone-crushing strength when your athletes are genetically gifted but technically raw in the weight room. Surviving the Trench: A raw look at the grueling reality of zero-dollar internships, moving across the country, and earning trust at the elite level. MEET THE GUEST Lucas White is an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for Penn State Football, operating under Director Reid Kagy and Head Coach Matt Campbell. Over a thirteen-season career spanning stops at Iowa State, Boise State, and Mississippi State, White has cemented himself as a premier practitioner of team-scale conjugate periodization. His philosophy was forged not in pristine football facilities, but through years of coaching Olympic sports and training alongside world-record lifters in the private sector—proving that true strength coaching isn't about chasing arbitrary numbers, but building a robust physical base that survives the chaos of late-November football.
