Alejandro Sanchez the clowns who critique westside are clueless. These guys wore gear once a month training so out of 16 training sessions they wore gear for two of those.

@@overtenemy69 for real. I don't mind constructive criticism, but at times people just like to insult them. many other popular programs were born from the conjugate method. is it perfect? may be not but 150+ world records and only gym to have both raw and gear total?!! hard to argue that

Great video! and it brings back so many great memories. What people fail to realize is that the time spent in that gym with the crew didn't just teach you how to be strong, it taught life lessons that you carried in to all aspects of life.

LOve that guy! Hes so knowledgeable and one funny guy! THe dog and wife in the trunk cracks me up everytime
That story at the end shows Louie's true brilliance, the ability to plant that small seed in ones mind that blossoms into beast one day, a master of psychology.

I'm actually really really grateful I watched this. I've always thought people did that to prevent wear and tear for the aging athlete, or formerly injured athlete; I didn't really know how effective it was at making gainz, Thanks!
Do you teach the proper bench press technique in these video DVD´s? Thanks!
Most important thing a man can have is a power rack! Hahah love it
Any advice on when it's impossible to find a great training partner. I live in the middle of nowhere in the Scottish Isles now. And there is nobody who wants to train hard and consistent. I've never been able to find a solid training partner. My partner is my rack barbell and of course safety pins. I make the best with what I got. Those raw numbers are insane. People talking shit about geard lifting clearly have no clue. I've never trained in gear. But I'm becoming way more interested in doing so. Especially since I've completly torn both pecs. Anyway thank you again 🙏

@anonymous pity there's no real lifters around much places. I already press 400 a few times a week raw. I have a sling also for overload days. I was looking into getting a bigger shirt or grab the black sling. 315 is relatively light for me. Interested to see how I could manage some equipment by myself. Can never trust people. Been through 100s of lifting partners. Nobody lasts more than a few weeks. Typical lol. Thank you anyway brother.
Louie, you are the master. I would love to hear it from you. How often should I bench and or do a push workout?
