They all do box squats dudes let’s chill out here with the criticisms

Louie is special because he not only knows how to get strong but also how to rehab lower back disc herniations. In the mid 1980's he hurt his back so bad he needed crutches to walk. Look at him today, still dead lifting and squatting. His philosophy and technique regarding lower back rehabilitation and the reverse hyper machine is revolutionary. It has helped many people far beyond just weight lifters.

I'm personally into bodybuilding but I have a great respect for strength training these guys put there body to the limit and work very hard

Louie's finals word made me feel kinda sad, but he might just be right - Westside is what it is because of Lou's mentality and philosophies. The sport of powerlifting owes a hell-of-a-lot of respect and thanks to Louie and the other legends of WSB.

Louie Simmons is another type of guy. Love him or hate him you won't find many guys like him around.

Louie for sure is a motivator, trainer who provides the gym environment for World Class Powerlifting for geared and un-tested lifters who need certain PL Feds to compete in; but doesn't represent all PLs and Feds in fact with the major surge of Raw lifting, geared lifting (drug tested or not) is dying and the fans are dwindling faster. I recall going to meets in the USAPL where you would have people wearing Westside t-shirts, training in that mode, etc. but in the last 7-8 years I cannot even say I recall seeing one Westside t-shirt or even anyone bringing up Westside anymore.

There will never ever be another Louie Simmons. That's for damn sure.

Raza they were doing box squats and they use different height boxes. The biggest thing about the WestSide method is to never do the same lift twice in a row.......you can vary the height of the box just like you vary the number of boards you use on the bench press. You can get really strong pressing off of say 3 boards in the bench press, for example say 400 lbs, and as your strength grows you are able to do it from 2, then 1 then with out a board. It is really about training all the different motions and depths of a lift. I am sure he can squat to depth but with a slightly lower weight. Those guys are not about coming in and "ego lifting" every work out.......as in the actual competition lifts......they are about improving their competition lifts with these type of lifts and accessory work. Back in 2004 I used some of their methods in my lifting but I am raw and drug free, but still, training my lifts in the different ranges and also using chains and bands helped me tremendously. I got up to a competition (paused) bench of 540 lbs, but I weighed 295 lbs so really nowhere near what the roided and the geared guys can do. Still, I was not willing to roid for health concerns and personally, I am not a fan of lifting with gear like bench shirts, super suits, etc. I respect the geared lifters, but I am and have always been a RAW lifter.

Thats the thing about westside though... their guys are the most dominant in the field they choose to compete...its not like they all tried raw and didnt make the cut, theyre just not interested in it...the few raw guys like Burley Hawk are already knocking on the door of all time world records. did he use as many bands, chains or boxes as the multi guys? who knows, thats not what westside is about, theres no one cookie cutter program its doing what it takes to be the best. in a way all the lilliebridges, rubbishes and other great nonwestside lifters are still following the westside mentality...accept no less than no. 1. (also i will say that on deadlifts alone i can think of no other program with such results. single great lifters have programs that work for them and all the best of the best pullers have designed their own programs that work for them, but no other lifting team has had such success AS A GROUP meaning like 20 guys at that gym pull over 800. my state, RI, has one retired 800lb deadlifter lol)

no i agree with you... plus when im not competing in strongman i do multiply powerliftinging so straps and a suit with the straps down do not diminish halsl deadlift whatsoever for me. i just think that no one training program has produced the best results for such a large group of people. Hall, Lilliebridge, Coen, Konstantinov, Bolton, Benni, they all are at least as strong as westside guys if not stronger, but the program theyve developed works just for them, its individualized which is what i think all the best athletes wind up doing. However Hall, Bolton, and Benni's programs i dont think have been proven as effective for athletes other than themseves (ie they have not produced a gym full of 900-1000lb deadlifters)... still i agree, the "by the book" westside method (de lower and upper and me lower and upper, lots of weird exercise variations) actually does not work optimally for my self, as a natual lifter my body cant handle 2 lower workouts per week, also i need more practice in the actual lifts, i cant expect to just box squat and board press and have good meet results... still those are my weak points (precise form etc), and all westside is is bringing up weak points. in that regard most of the best lifters atleast train with that mindset even if they arnt "westside" per se

+ytrewq089 Sheiko Programs comes to my mind as another system that has produced many WRs and so does the RTS from Mike Tuchscherer, when talking about producing world class lifters. I even think Sheiko has better results than WSB and LS and he is now the trainer from Kirill Sarychev (new All-time WR RAW Bencher). Sheiko's results: sheiko-program.ru/sheiko-students-2/sheikos-champions/medal-tally-of-sheikos-athletes And from what I see, IPF (raw and single-ply) circuit is WAY more competitive than the Multiply federations. Just food for thought, but I agree that it's a really good system for Multiply guys, but it isn't the best and biggest system producing WRs IMHO. I would say Sheiko has best results than LS in a more competitive federation.

would love to get advice from them to improve my squat and bench form. their passion for lifting says it all....much respect. if I'm ever in Ohio would love to see this place.

i love it when the background music is twice as loud as the voices, makes it so you cant hear anything. Awesome!!

I respect everyone of these guys. The training they endure for the results they want must be hard on their bodies.

This old man is a legend, he can lift 3 times his own body weight, he's like as strong as a human ant 💪🏼🐜

Age ain't nothing but a number baby! As an aging guy, and a walking mid-life crisis, I find Louie's lifts to be inspiring.

People act like Louie brought gear to the sport. Clearly you guys don't know how things were back then. Did he embrace it? Sure. But the implication that Louie single handedly brought juice to the sport is funny as hell.

So Louie, you are not allowed to die got it! Stay alive stay healthy the world needs you.

Louie will live forever!

They may be strong as all get up, but they, sadly, don't look that healthy.

They aren't training to be healthy, reaching this level of strength isn't done for health reasons, it's dangerous.

sounds self destructive if that's your train of thought. Why knowingly do something that is shortening your life and shortening your time your able to compete in your chosen sport, that's just not smart.

@Ivan Dominguez that's rediculous. If you love something, you want it for as long as possible and want to give it your best everyday. Not give it so much it kills you. And I am a strength coach, I have met Louie, and highly respect him as a professional powerlifter, and not going to get into my feelings except to say, that his statement as to "when I die the club dies too because noone is capable like me or has my mindset" is sad. All those athletes hes "trained" and not one of then he feels confident in their mindset or ability enough to let them carry on his legacy, methods, and mindset to future generations of powerlifters? Sounds like something's off about that, and a waste. And why has noone "got his mindset or capabilities"? Didn't he train them? Or did he just handpick "the best", in his opinion, and give them a key to his gym. Many world records come from people that have never set foot in westside barbell. Teaching someone to lift is different then coaching someone to lift, and if you teach them they should do it the way they were taught and therefore be able to teach or at least demonstrate it to others the same way and convey the mindset behind it. Lifting has many good techniques, some of which are in use is gyms everywhere like Westside, but proper technique is subjective as to which is right for each lifter based on many factors. Body type, body structure, individual leverages based on structure, past Injuries, recovery protocols, DIET, sleep, hydration, etc. If a coach, trainer, or teacher to say's, "my way is the best and only way, and I'm the only one that can teach it or gets it" my opinion is that is dangerous and I would again ask them "why is that?"

Phenomenal video my only critique would be him saying the club would die when he dies I think that's why it's so important to instill those values that he has into his guys there so that it doesn't die because other people can make what you built even greater whether you believe that or not I think this is an amazing story and that's an amazing man and that's an amazing group of gentlemen doing the damn thing

RIP!!! I hope your gym keeps going!!

There is so much more to life than just lifting. I've found that out, and in some ways the HARD way.

R.I.P💕❤️ the day He passed away, is the day Westside passed away

a different faction of the strength community.. but all records go through Zavicus, Shaw, Hall..Thor.I like how Lou hasnt lost that resolve he has always had..its damn hard going heavy into your 50s and 60s...respect.

Dave Tate would do a good job of taking the reins.

louie you will never die! pr attempts all over the world will keep you alive

shit, were those girls the interviewers? They look great. Also this was a good video, well edited, long enough, but short enough that it didn't drag on.

Lolek Bolek On most lifts the weight I toss compared to body weight is fairly impressive for your regular 9to5 natural serious trainer. However if I was on gear, breaking records, working my ass off all day every day and at the same time looked like them I would be pissed. To each there own but it just seems like your giving up a lot of mobility/endurance and setting yourself up for heart problems in competitive powerlifting. All that said its impressive that my big ass could be doing a 1rep max pr and those guys could come and squat the bench with the stacked bar and me still on it.

Do you know the said principle ? Specific adaptation imposed demands. Google soccer players gym training and look at how they “weight train “

box squats bench shirts ok

Louie is a great guy and definitely knows the strength game. but I was once at a York barbell powerlifting competition and I didn't know whether to congratulate his lifters or the equipment they were wearing

I read about these guys years ago from 43 now why I really hope he changes his mind and doesn't close the place down when he goes man that would be really selfish not to leave his legacy continuing there's other people out there with compassion he just needs the father one of them.
