I love the relationship between Tate and Louie. Immediate roasting when he sees any sign of Dave in the video hahaha

[@aanadirbloodblade905]

“If you’re afraid to fail, you’ll never succeed” Preach Louie

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

🙌

[@Sam-hk1bj]

“He wasn’t a really strong power lifter. He could squat 900 and bench 700.” Louie lives in a very different world than most.

[@kalruggs1719]

that made me chuckle too

[@pretty_flaco]

1000 pounds is his standard apparently

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Pretty much 💁

[@zyncarla]

People forget he’s talking geared numbers but most people hear the number and assume raw...

[@pretty_flaco]

well to be fair, it’s geared and “on gear”

[@jasonholmespowerlifter8739]

Louie is a real funny guy I could listen to him all day

[@sikspak7777]

You can see Dave Tate sitting in the back contemplating elite training and getting the hell outta this! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@markphillips4682]

"Four 1000 lb squatters in 2004 and thirty four 1000 lb squatters today. The proof is in the pudding." Enough said!

[@xboxfan0101010]

Well back then it was impressive, now they have thirty four 1000lb squatters but they wearing briefs, wraps, a belt and a multiply suit, people squat 1000lbs raw now, westside needs to transition to raw training and revolutionize that again.

[@volumedaddy6917]

more of this...this is history

[@petertaylor9432]

The full videos are on the conjugate club but obviously that's not free

[@volumedaddy6917]

Is that with the breakdown also

[@aaronkelley8909]

I used to have this DVD. Many nights in my garage training alone with bands and chains.

[@hardfought1842]

5:25 one of the best Louis Quotes 🙌🏼

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

It's a great one

[@rb6120]

I could watch these all day, would love to see more reviews. Great vid!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

☺️

[@wesleyhoskins2228]

I see you're a fan of the Genius

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

I’m enjoying these too and thought that would be great if Loui could do some more vids. But sadly he’s now no longer with us 😔

[@bigchris2939]

Love to train at Louie's gym and absorb all that useful knowledge 🧠

[@stevemariner6768]

There you have it.. Godzilla did no sport specific training. Louie is awesome haha

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

hahaha

[@lesterlong7759]

Pure gold!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

✊

[@88and6]

More. I need more of these vids.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

lol

[@marilynkeener1689]

Louie Simmons is a Savage. Respect.

[@brumylee]

Pure gold 💪👌

[@stevemass8523]

I love these ! Louie is awesome :D and funny

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

👌

[@readyupad]

Legend.

[@GirlRot96]

This mans a fucking legend.

[@xboxfan0101010]

Excellent content

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Why thank you!

[@intoTheEther1]

The quads on these guys are insane. Why did the Westside guys have such insane leg development compared to all the other powerlifters outside of Westside? You just don't see this kind of development AND those numbers anywhere else, even today. Pro bodybuilder size tear drops with WR numbers.

[@douglas2437]

It's pretty magnificent. My guess is the very high volume...

[@Jmack7861]

Because half squats hit mostly quads and that’s all they did other than these box squats

[@eazyb7974]

Box squats

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

🔥

[@bubhinson]

Prolly belt squats too

[@louisl1616]

What section of conjugate club are these on? :)

[@1aspirefit]

Can you do a video on how louie would run congujate without bands and chains?

[@32srt32]

What are the degrees of the handles on that safety squat bar that is 30% harder?

[@dulahanmcgee4924]

More please

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Working on it!

[@PrimeMatt]

🙌🏼

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

🙌

[@adrianmudaliar1114]

Is there a clip somewhere of the bow bar Louie is talking about that the Russians were using for their plyometric work? Touching the rubber pads then exploding up?

[@CyrillicTM]

yoo that intro is lit

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

🔥

[@bigmarco]

4:34 reminded me of Thor’s 501 deadlift

[@Sygnal3]

"I must've taken them off that day" 🤣

[@MrLukedanger]

Mike brown who Lou is talking about is the guy who mark bell calls tilt. Just search mark bell tilt and in the video mark bell says he was doing 1000lb good mornings

[@projectcoop107]

Monsters!!! I SEE MONSTERS!!!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

👀

[@projectcoop107]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial 😂😂😂 y'all funny 😆

[@Jmack7861]

They squat lower to boxes than in meets lmao

[@zyncarla]

imlee888 that’s the point...

[@zyncarla]

Gore4ever FulciLives ok high speed

[@llleerrooyy]

Gore4ever FulciLives shut up dude

[@mikeschmidt4800]

I resonate with Louie. You can mean the world to me, but, I'm just not showing up for weddings or funerals.

[@HammerK99]

Best shit talker ever

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

👏

[@petercsigo9935]

Seems to me the Westside Barbell favoring sumo deadlift and sumo squat over traditional ones.

[@NunyaFB443]

Less range of motion the bar travels I guess. Very useful when going for world records I would assume.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

@@NunyaFB443 sumo is also way less taxing on your spinal erectors after having 1000+ on your back and having to hold your arch against a bench shirt

[@ruvimsemenyuk8224]

“There’s no world record gym lift “ tell that to half thor lol

[@Mr.Shiesty727]

How tall is Louie?

[@JBFit69]

5'6

[@Mr.Shiesty727]

J B Thanks

[@Pro_Skillz]

Notice where the bar is? (Not half way down their backs)

[@fatmunch6318]

I got girlfriends I never resigned lmao

[@maskedcreator4525]

4:39- Listen to Louie Hafthor. NO GYM WR! We never recognize them in the past, no reason to start now. Eddie Hall has the deadlift WR, until someone pulls 501 kg in a meet.

[@Dr_Footbrake]

@Matt Glaister I’m a judge and have calibrated plates and I ain’t counting any lift done in my garage as a legit record lol

[@mach5jeep]

One thing Louie likes to talk about is Louie.
