Westside Barbell | Traning for APF Nationals 1997

Here we see him with many of his lifters before the APF nationals, that was considered the biggest or clos to biggest nationals in the USA at the time. So you can say what you want, but tha fact that he produces 22 lifters of like 30 that qualify for the nationols is huge! In this video you will see a lot of the old westside lifters traning and do accessory exercise.
Westside Barbell is a world famous gym in the west side of Columbus. The trainer Louie Simmons has a unconventional training method called the Conjugate method. Be developed this method in the 80s based on russian training. In 1986 one of his lifters squted 1010 lbs / 458 kg, the heavyest squat ever!

I like seeing the deep squats on the box. Those have clearly been changed in recent years.

Ten minutes in to this video and I've seen so many exercises that I've never seen before and variations on those exercises that it makes me feel that I know nothing about lifting.
