I'm grateful that Louie and westside made as much content as they did!

[@twistedtrailerparktales2126]

Thanks for these Louie. I listen to your podcast all day while I'm turning wrenches learning more and more each day before I leave for the gym. When I win the 175lb NAS title it will because of everything you've taught me.

[@CuvintePuternice]

I really enjoy listening this. lots of good info and very interesting to see the point of view of someone so dedicated like Lou.

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

7:45 Interesting thing he mentions about missing the deadlift as being “too psychologically damaging if you miss”.

I love deadlifts. It's my best lift. I feel strong too. Thank you mr Simmons for your knowledge.

Louie had plenty of coffee I think

[@MuggyRay]

Louie is human coffee

[@CyberdarkHellKaiser]

I love that the interviewer asked about the 6-8-10 programming for squats because I actually wondered the same and I'm using it for my front squats as an accessory to bring up the weaknesses I got from having injured knees

[@ianhall7193]

CyberdarkHellKaiser oh shit when did this happen i must have missed it. i’m doing 4-6-8-10-12 then taper and deload. all within 9 weeks. what was his answer?

[@spencermariano8454]

I follow a lot of conventional. Azatian type models for training but there is so much to be learned from the conjugates system and in the end I think all of the principles for getting stronger are the same

[@PlutoTheGod]

I sometimes wonder how Louie was able to learn so much about the Russians without learning the language

[@adamperry6928]

If I'm a 625 squatter and a 485 venture and a 700 lb deadlift how would I break that down using bands for speed training I bought his deadlift and squat book and bench and I'm trying to understand it I've never used bands before in any type of training

[@anthonycaruso6065]

Everyone shits on Louis like he is so stuck in his ways when it comes to his commitment to his commitment to running his program as if hes not flexible hes not flexible meanwhile hes like "Sheiko is doing this so we did it too"

[@cyberserfer2000]

So does dead press or rack press off the bottom increase your max for bench press and squat 15% as well? Does squatting off of rack pins work just as well as box squats?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Good question. If thats is where your sticking point is it can help hugely, it is up to you to figure out if the lift is a builder [helps generate a bigger standard lift] or tester [gives you a KPI if you are on track]

[@livingmybestlife123]

Where can I find the template you use? All the examples I find do not match up with what Louie talks about. The dynamic day with squats and dead’s, 3 week waves etc- where can I find it? Which book? Kind regards

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

The squat and deadlift manual have examples for lower body day. Just keep in mind that 5x5s are used now.

[@DatKundalini]

Any advice for anterior pelvic tilt pullers? Specific exercises?

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Well, we're not chiropractors, but practicing constant lockout tension of the glutes (in a belt squat) could help

[@DatKundalini]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial Thanks WS!

[@MonsterFishKeepersPH]

Advice for knee pain during the descend

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Look at your technique, assess your knee, check your hamstring strength to name a few

[@MonsterFishKeepersPH]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial when I do the box squats I have a hard time balancing, even with just the bar my hamstrings get really tired all of a sudden when performing box squats but I don't feel any pain compared to free squats. But during the descend I can feel some clicking in my right knee

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Still do those things, get some data on yourself. Then retest after when you have spent time on fixing the problem. If you have someone who can see you squat, that would be of great help.

[@rogerstrom4594]

He talks about Premblem (spelling??) in many interviews. I must not be spelling it correctly. I can't find anything by him.

Do some speed work and save some reps in the tank so that you aren't grinding every session, also pick your attempts wisely and rotate rep Prs-1s, 3s, 5s, 10...

[@tommybarnes3511]

At 39:45 this guy is wrong. It is not the stretch reflex that limits muscle tension but it's correctly called the Golgi Tendon Organ and what it does is monitors muscle tension and in the event that it perceives imminent injury, the Golgi Tendon Organ will literally prevent the muscle from firing, thereby preventing injury.

[@mnikhk]

Either way its some sort of reflex

[@davidsirmons]

Hang on. Muscle injury may only happen when the weight is beyond the load-bearing capacity of the tissues. But joint/cartilage injury is nearly guaranteed when you place uneven stresses on the spine (front/rear) by rounding. It's fucking bad news, and I really hope anyone listening to this doesn't take this as an excuse to utilize bad form. Learn solid form. Strengthen along and along, but realize you can easily herniate a disc or two when attempting even a sub max 2-3 rep lift, if you round your back. It might be best to only allow yourself a few degrees of variation, maybe 5, and if you feel your form going beyond that, set it down and drop the weight back down for a final set and come back the next week with 10 lbs total increase on all your sets leading up to the heavy one. Do that a couple of weeks instead of just trying to push up the max set.

Louie has no idea what it's like to train a normal person. The only person who he's ever trained or lifted with are genetically gifted lifters/athletes who are already the best in the world.

[@Boarpig350]

Not true his methods will work for anybody

[@MrTVx99]

Even if that's the case, which I know is false, these so called genetically gifted atheletes didn't wake up with 900 lb deadlift. They needed a program to allow them to reach their potential. This program can let a "normal" person reach their potential too, the potential might be way higher than you might think.
