Louie Simmons Live Demonstrations at Westside Barbell

In this video, Louie Simmons explains in depth how each one of his specialty machines works and why you need to incorporate it into your training.

[@ChadCilli]

I am so grateful that you are posting these. I'm literally taking notes in a notebook.

One of the greats, man... A giant in the sport. R.I.P

[@davidsirmons]

John Quinn is really on the spot with the technical explanations. That's fantastic!

[@axleochidae2853]

legend. Louie is #1 strength coach in history

[@brandoncorellind]

best line by far .. "I'd give mt right arm to be ambidextrous" LMAO !!!

[@xbenxwilsonxhighlights7879]

I’m so thankful my gym has a reverse hyper

[@BeYou606]

took a lot of notes from this video. great info.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial what is Louie's opinion on Barry Ross' ideas/book?

[@dexgsand]

man I wanna workout with these guys and all these nice machines!!!!

[@dexgsand]

G Smith fuck you bitch you don't even workout and hiding behind a fake profile like a fucking little boy!!!! So like I said. Fuck you!

[@josteincarlsen2905]

+G Smith fuck you....

[@meatlebouea4203]

I wish more people knew how valuable this information is. If 70% of the general public understood these principles and trained by them, whether you're an athlete or not, it would make people better. Simply because they would understand their capabilities through applied science. I believe that.

[@nikolai6817]

amen

[@mikimiyazaki]

the only thing he didnt explain was how many gigawatts are in the flux capacitor

[@stuartsimmons1557]

1.21

[@jeremyweems4916]

There's approximately 1,000 mg of test per gigawatt. Science.

[@kevinmyrick881]

They cut on me in o8 L4, L5, S1, took out three dis and put in two cages. It never healed right I love to lift hard and heavy. But I fight the pain every morning, I've power lift in the 90s and miss it so much there is no hard core gyms in this town.im miss the power lifters.I go to the YMCA but it's not the same. Thanks Louie for the videos and the mastery of your training you are a BLESSING of the universe thank you sir.

[@almadixon-cider31]

That machine's the real deal!

[@kassabperformancetraining2732]

Tom. Im serious man, westside has always been my main source of information for sports training but recently (when you became a part of the crew) things became significantly better. More podcasts, more activity on social media, better website. Idk if youre responsible for all of it but the correlation is there. Keep up the good work. Also, john quint is a fucking genius

[@TDubb33]

Agreed! Also helping dispel some Westside myths & misunderstandings via the internet experts.

[@ohjesussaveme]

only part way through, and while some of the info seems really good, some stuff doesn't add up. How on earth does the reverse hyper "train" the psoas. I agree with Louie that it allows the athlete to relax the psoas, but "training" it? You're lying on a table.

[@andrewd7157]

Awesome stuff, thanks!

[@josteincarlsen2905]

Great video! Keep em coming.

[@kevinmyrick881]

Thanks louie

[@seanjohnson8225]

I wish there was a gym around me that had these machines.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

You could possibly start a garage gym

[@alvarobustillos128]

Thank You Louie and the Westside Crew! I do a lot of Situps on the Glute Ham Developer(GHD) machine, i feel lile this also stretches out my psoas. Any thoughts on this from u guys?

[@hitleractually8180]

Don't know about the psoas, but it definitely stretches your hip flexors

[@michaelpaulbrown6837]

This is amazing! I wish I was able to use these machines. I have an Artificial Disc at L3-L4 and a Titanium Fusion at L5-S1. As well as an Artificial Titanium Hip. I weigh 220 + and have just begun to Compete again for NASA Powerlifting. Squat - 409lbs Bench - 327lbs Deadlift - 490lbs. I am only 43 years old. I have plenty in the tank!

[@josteincarlsen2905]

If i lived in the us, i wood move right by Westside.. I killed my back in 06. Started lifting again last january last year. 39 this year. Keep UP the good work

[@adeelliftsstuff]

Michael Brown You can do Nordic Leg Curl Progressions if you can't use an inverse curl machine

[@solslastcannula5665]

All those surgeries, are your heart and lungs weak from being under anesthesia and on a ventilator so many times for so long? Additionally the inactivity from being post surgery. Hows your health in general?

[@Scott-livez]

@13:45 david goggins needs this psoas info

[@moosie407]

My RH is on its way in the mail and I CANT WAIT to get started and help improve my lifts!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

💪💪💪

[@brilliantlywrong]

This information is gold! Thanks for posting

[@skullbones7452]

I have a question: If the equipment is pattened, where can we buy them?Im from belgium europe so running to west side barbell in the morning takes 246 days.

[@cesarr5006]

Creativity and passion come in so many ways; I love this version of it; ruff and tamed

[@SquatLife]

Funny 5 years ago, a bunch of exercises that the Knee Over Toes guy is touting now.

[@BVD_INFLU3NC3]

Louie and the west side crew are just amazing! I hope I can go train there one day! R.I.P LOUIE SIMMONS!

[@MMABeijing]

Thank you for the content! I could not hear what Loui was suggest for people who don't have a hyper... He mentions something costing 140 usd, was is pull sledge?

[@josephdykes1820]

Does anyone know of a gym (other than Westside Barbell) or PT clinic in the central Ohio area that has even one of these reverse hyper machines? Just watching this video makes my low back feel better.

[@MrCGangsta]

I need one too :(

[@gokuryu]

Joseph Dykes dude one gym in my area (nj) has one. even once ac month it mashes the back feel so good. and its strength for the back.

[@rockfella27]

I made a make shift reverse hyper at home and after suffering from chronic low back pain for years (deadlift injury) the pain vanished in 4/6 sessions of unloaded reverse hypers. This guy is a genius. Period.

[@MrSteelman34]

Metrofitness Worthington for people still looking

[@michaelmullins1290]

In one video. Louie told a guy he wouldn't be allowed in because of his build and size. Same here, but I'd love that back therapy on the belt squat. My back is out now, and I'm trying to recreate the motion.

[@RonelDelgado]

Love your videos,too much knowledge and vocation,GOD bless you Louie.👍🏻😎

[@ken-scottleembruggen6887]

what kind of ball is that for the psoas stretch?

What a unique man

[@itumelenglefafa7111]

Informative 🤟🏾😲🤯😁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@prophylacticfaith]

Brad- “Louie is pinching my ass”

[@incorectulpolitic]

So the med ball sit up to release the psoas should be done before warmup?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Do it more often if your psoas is an issue.

[@incorectulpolitic]

Can you please make a separate video on how to release the psoas, very detailed... like how large should be the medicine ball, what to do if there is no medicine ball, when to do the release etc...I think this is extremely important

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial So how large should the medicine ball be and how many reps should be done during warmup to release the psoas? Should this also be done after training to aid recovery? What if somebody does not have a medicine ball? Thank you

[@JigEmUp]

Priceless! May he RIP

[@jasonutterback1194]

RIP LOUIE SIMMONS

[@damianderby189]

I wonder if there are any gyms in Houston with those machines

[@RodJohnson86]

Thanks Louie. Can you provide a link to where you get those black plyo boxes and 2" pads when doing the box squats? I checked your site but don't see them offered. Thanks again.

[@hgtpmrinbetween3484]

Have you Found it?

[@Scorch1028]

Poor Louie had no cartilage in his shoulders.

[@metemad]

He helped so many lifters.

Some interesting techniques here, really enjoyed the watch

awesome pointers...thanks so much!

[@cjmack23ok]

Joes hamstring strength is insane

[@waterrocket91]

Is the reverse hyper ok to use for someone who has had a L4-L-5/ L-5 S1 fusion?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

It is, just remember to start small and work your way up in weight and reps.

[@shaundonovan2193]

Anybody here ever use the H.A.D. machine (abdominal machine)? Looks like it would really work well.

[@Herr2Cents]

Nautilus in 1978 had a great lower back in a supine position machine. I loved it. The last machine resembles the movement. They are prone though.

[@thecosmy1]

those machines make sense, a lot there is no way to simulate these in the gym, right?

[@thecosmy1]

I think superman exercice would do but not as complete

[@alleffortjuan]

ghd sit up to some extend maybe?

[@josephdykes1820]

thecosmy1 I don't know how you could replicate this retraction and protraction in such a relaxed and natural looking way.

[@PistolPeteLee]

It's doable, but the weight is a bit more difficult

[@sz42781]

[@cjmack23ok]

Perfect, thanks so much guys

[@gareththomas3234]

this is awesome man

[@dd61882]

If Louie could recommend one reverse hyper for someone what machine would it be?

[@hitleractually8180]

Probably one that Rogue manufactures for Westside. I have the Westside Scout Hyper and it's awesome. Really glad I purchased it. It's affordable and has the smallest footprint you'll find for a reverse hyper.

[@moosie407]

The one at rogue

[@thomasnn]

This is beyond great

[@jordangreen5767]

Where can I get the bar that allows you to move your hand position

[@norm2944]

Will that machine work for double sciatic nerve damage I may have found the other half of the patent. Peace

Thanks Jeff great stuff

Is there a machine for sale?

[@incorectulpolitic]

15:!6, how large should be the ball when doing the crunch to release the psoas??

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

A small med ball, not sized like a basketball

[@RonelDelgado]

WHERE CAN I BUY THAT MACHINES!!!!!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

You can buy this machine at Westside-barbell.com

[@ryanl.9341]

Amazing, the nuggets of wisdom they are entwining within this film. I revere Louie, by the way, and I am a bodybuilder whose interest in strength is merely a tool towards acquiring more muscularity.

[@TheSpiritWalk]

Westside Rules

[@CoachDOMMS]

Hello Tom and team thank you guys for the podcast, keep the podcast going it is the best strength info podcast period... Has certainly allowed us to see the value in Louie's info, education resources and equipment. Does Westside have a supplier in Australia at all?

[@shnizzyshnizzy7552]

22:00 holy fuck

[@JasonSmith-fu6oi]

yeah but which reverse hyper is best? rogue is the cheapest and even Louie Simmons owns them. why is the RH at westside so much more?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

The strap model is our most used one. The bent pendulum is the hardest one.

[@incorectulpolitic]

[@drwe57]

Wish I could ask them if they have ever trained anyone with fused vertibra in their back and if they made any noteworthy lifts

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

We've had a few lifters come through with such an issue. They ended up benefiting from ultra high rep reverse hypers and long sled drags with light weight holding a med ball low on the hips.

[@drwe57]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial Thank you for getting back to me. Means alot hearing that. I'm done listening to doctors tell me what I can and can't do they can kiss my ass. Now it's time to put the work in.

The reverse hyper is a terrible exercise for someone with a posterior disc bulge, which is most people over the age of 40!

[@7THxSIGN]

than why are so many L4/L5 disc bulge suffers being healed of crippling debilitating lower back pain when everything else failed them for years?

[@dyardsale5475]
