Well if you know anything about weight lifting I grew up in Columbus Ohio I've lived here all my life I know a lot of these guys and I had a 465 raw bench and most of these guys can't even do that they're strong equip lifters but if you remove all that equipment from them some of them strong but a lot of those guys are not even close to what you think of as somebody is like a world-class lifter Chuck was really strong in the early '90s I lifted with him at world's gym on the west side by Westland Mall and Chuck I seen Chuck bench 405 for four with no shirt which is a really strong bench and I was a kid then so I thought that was like world class but in the big picture it's not then he got his neck broke and he couldn't do anything like that on the bench ever again but I don't even know if very many of those guys can bench 500 which is a world-class bench but without the suit I'd say a few of them can but not that many

Despite the high squats, the gear, and execution of their competition lifts, you cant deny the ruthlessness of that gym. It was a counter culture. The culture, passion, and rawness of everything makes westside so memorable. If you've never been in a similar environment, you won't fully apprexiate it. Can't wait to see this

"the majority of them all use westside principles" Name one world class strongman who does the DE/ME method three to four times a week? I'll save you - none. Let me guess - anyone who has ever used a band, or chain, is doing westside?
@mikkeljrgensen1817 жыл бұрын
Pfff yeah fuck Chad Wesley Smith right? I mean the guy basically qualified to go to the olympics, without a coach. Then he went ahead and squatted 800 in his first powerlifting meet wearing nike frees. Then after two strongman competitions he won a pro card. He is coaching the top powerlifters, drug tested and non tested in the world. Andy Huang, Steven Gentili, Tee Popoola, Marisa Inda, just to name a few. But what he is doing is probably retarded and they would all see better progress, by doing random exercises and putting chains on barbells right? Now you tell me to quit sucking Chads dick, but I'll advice you to get Dave Hoffs high squatting dick out of your ass first. Have a nice day.

Feathered hair, jorts, clean ass mustaches and t shirts tucked into jeans/jorts. Hitting the gym, going to the bar, picking fights, blowing out out some bar rat afterwards, going to the factory job.. ah, those were the days.

Long before Westside Barbell there was BLACKS HEALTH WORLD in Cleveland Ohio. All the badass strong as hell APF and USPF Senior National Champions, Junior National Champions, YMCA National Champions, Ohio State Champions and World Championships trained at "Blacks" Eventually these lifters moved to Westside Barbell.
