Louie sits down with world known powerlifter Dan Green.
Dan’s best meet total in the 242’s is 2210lb, and best pulls in the gym are an 881lb sumo and a 900lb conventional. In this episode, they discuss the difference (if any) when it comes to bodybuilding vs. powerlifting in terms of volume for strength maintenance.
Additionally, they go into depth when it comes to deadlift philosophy, rep ranges, and cues.
We hope you enjoy!

This made my day, found this right before going to workout and especially going to deadlift

Hell yeah!

[@daxtonjace6601]

@Spencer Wells I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@daxtonjace6601]

@Spencer Wells It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@tommyboyfitness]

Only problem is with the podcast is this sound is too low turnout the volume we can turn it down on our end other than that it’s great

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

GOLD

[@petertaylor9432]

Great interview, but I wish they would've talked about "west of westside" some

[@mfaheycam]

That would require Louie to have actually given a shit about the article or the site that published it.

[@petertaylor9432]

@@mfaheycam are you aware that Dan Green wrote it?

[@mfaheycam]

@@petertaylor9432 yes, are you aware that it was written for another lifter's website? I asked louie about it when it came out. He hadn't read it or heard of the site. As he says in the video, he doesn't listen much to American lifters or coaches, and he prefers text books over the internet.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

mfaheycam Wouldn’t be surprised if Louie didn’t even know who Dan Green was when he rocked up at the gym lol. I visited in 2015 (from Australia), and even though I barely follow PL I knew way more current lifters/events than he did

[@alexisvnc]

@@Dr_Footbrake He probably knows all the famous lifters but just pretends to not know about em probably because he thinks he sounds cool sayin it. Dude even knows who Clarence Kennedy is and lied about him using westside conjugate training. And Clarence is a weightlifter...

[@allenmcvaney5712]

I think if Louie would have read West of Westside, he may not of talked with Dan.

[@DantheSavageProject]

I noticed Green gets away with talking about building the quads for squating quite a bit. Most often the qlutes and hams get all of the hype. Is this because he squats in Olympic shoes?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

For his build his quads (leg drive) for both the sumo and back squat were his weak link. The shoes have little to do with it, but do play a slight role.

[@Jmack7861]

Late reply but I wanted to point out that most raw squatters have a narrower stance than equipped, and the narrower your stance the farther your knees travel forward and the farther they travel toward the more quad involvement there is. Dave Tate has good info on this

[@jumpinjack6350]

Dan Green, very strong but also very smart in his training methods and observations, I have more respect for RAW lifters than geared, but that's just me.

[@Ainttrippin]

Geared lifters train raw 80% of the time. But then again we dont need your respect you have no records

[@aba192]

Nuked into oblivion, well done sir.

[@MRHORNY-os8vv]

I can't hear what the fuck is he saying

[@bruhman9111]

Damnit! This isn't the guy that made anime girls to cluck like chickens in hentai dubs! This isn't the Dan green that solved the millennium puzzle!

[@c-jayjames7316]

Dan Green arrogant man sues innocent people. Dont let him on again

[@PlutoTheGod]

Chris Champion what the fuck are you talking about lmao

[@ByeEvoX]

It's not him, it's his wife.

[@gainz_godz1098]

Yeah that was fucked up, nick colvi was right to sue him back. Glad we got the footage from the dan green documentary but man can you imagine how sick the full thing couldve been? Agree that his wife is awful but i dont think thats anything new.
