Westside Barbell Podcast #53 - Chuck, Marcus, Dom and Tom

[@westoncobb7358]

Finally, Chuck V on a podcast!!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

The one and only!!!!

[@elim5353]

No kidding. Been waiting for this

[@eslaubachel]

No doubt

[@gcseve]

The man, the myth, the legend….I didn’t even know what Chuck’s voice sounded like because he’s been so private

[@PaulW519]

There's a clip of him on bigger stronger faster where he speaks like a minute

I fucking love how Chuck didnt even think about talking about his accomplishments. The truly greats never do. Humble dude, what a great podcast

[@tielvandenheuvel5168]

@@motoz30 Fair enough. More a matter of personal preference, I guess. If others talk about Coan, I think I appreciate it more than him talking about himself.

[@lovesgibson]

@@motoz30 Coan is extremely humble

[@BruceWayne-ri4wr]

Yeah Chuck doesn't say a whole lot I knew him when I was younger but there's nothing wrong with being proud of what you've accomplished so when people say the grades don't brag about what they've done that's just not true you ever heard Bill kazmaier talk lol he does nothing but brag about how great he is and he is probably the strongest man that ever lived so there's nothing wrong with knowing you're good at something

[@PlutoTheGod]

Chuck we know you hate doing this shit but believe we all really appreciate it!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

We are grateful he came on

[@TheFlipsta97]

I'm really really glad Chuck V has a (very tentative) online presence. He has so much knowledge to share with the younger generation of lifters, even though he might not be comfortable with the whole thing, I'm very glad he has chosen to bite the bullet. Missed my opportunity to go to Ohio and meet Lou, I'm not gonna do the shame with Chuck.

[@jimsilvis197]

Chuck f'n V. I can die happy now.

[@davemarcus2405]

It's a shame Louie never wrote a book on team building. He was a genius at it.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

No one did it better

[@BostonsF1nest]

I feel like it would be something like: never take a day off, train everyday to get better, make no limitations on your success, individual success leads to team success, embrace change, no one person is more important than the team, the leader is always the best/most talented individual, never give too much praise, culture is based on high performance.

[@lucasmaster99]

Nice to see Chuck, good podcast R.I.P. louie

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thank you

[@Adrian-xz3qt]

What a lineup of guests! Great job getting them together

Hell Yeah!!!

[@PLeonard71]

Thank you very much for doing this podcast and creating this content. So many of us grew up being influenced by Westside Barbell, Louie Simmons, and his high performing athletes. I look forward to you having more of the legends on these podcasts. Thank you to these for men for taking the time to pay tribute to Louie and Westside with this information, entertainment and inspiration.

Thanx to All involved

[@davemarcus2405]

"He wanted to make people stronger". That is significant on many, many levels.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

More significant than people may realise

[@PaulW519]

Great Pod cast! Good to see Chuck on one, you can tell it's not his thing but yet he did it.

[@GFD472]

Amazing lineup! Just wish this could have been done with Louie.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

That would have been great

[@lesterlong7759]

My thought as well! Laughter and nostalgia are pulling in me from different directions all through the podcast.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Everyone who has been apart of Westside has these unique and amazing stories and we enjoy getting the opportunity to share these stories.

[@taylorhamann7171]

Just like every other sport, Chuck is truly a legend of this sport. I feel you could not put a dollar value on the knowledge, experience and stories he has. It’s almost to the point of emotional seeing him speak like this. I’ve searched for every clip and video I could find just see a couple more seconds of him lifting. I wonder if he realizes how much he is idolized. If he were to begin coaching or even start a podcast or something…the demand would be endless. Appreciate you Chuck. You’re such a huge influence and inspiration and will continue to be for generations to come.

[@leighmillward]

Wow, many thanks to Chuck and everyone else for this great podcast. Much appreciated gents

[@alexw.8999]

Chuck looks like he’s about to break a podcast PR.

[@alexw.8999]

There are more images of Bigfoot than the mythic Chuck V. Unbelievable. Could have listened to these legends for hours. Thank you Marcus, Dom, Tom and Chuck V for making the time.

[@BrianNassar]

Chuck is a living LEGEND!! I only saw him compete once in person and his intensity was insane!! His last deadlift I think the judges gave him because he was screaming at them at the lockout!!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Great story

Is there a possibility of a one on one with Chuck ?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

That would be cool to do

Hearing these guys talk takes me back . I dated Don Damron around 92’. I worked out in the westside in demorest because I was a ring girl for kick boxing and chucks wife Jill used to cut my hair . I lived one street over from that gym on demorest . I have tons of stories too but prolly none I can tell online lol 😂 it was intense in there to say the least and if u didn’t have any business in that place then u were quickly put out . It wasn’t quite so open to the public but it was if that makes sense. Some of the best people I’ve ever known and had so much fun

And that crazy belt squat you had to chain up and waddle over the hole and hope you didn’t miss a rep! I coulda been great but Tom used to steal my power! He knows what that means. Great podcast.
