Hi Johnny 👋!

[@Peter-ie6jl]

Thanks for doing these Tom. The podcasts are paced perfectly and put together really well also nice to hear an interviewer who doesn’t interrupt people. I look forward to these dropping on Fridays A few requests … 1. Doris 2. Chuck V on his own 3. Kenny Patterson & George Halbert talking Bench Press 4. More Matt Dimel stories

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Glad you like them! Thank you for the ideas

[@Insaniya.humanity]

First time I saw Coker was in a Vice mini documentary about west side. He came across as a very interesting individual. Can’t wait to know about him. Let me press play… and thanks!

[@jessenunez7205]

I got introduced to powerlifting cause of that mini documentary. I don’t compete nor do I plan to but man my training has been based off of westside since then

[@Insaniya.humanity]

@@jessenunez7205 same here man. That little doc opened a door for me

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thank you for watching

[@Insaniya.humanity]

Just finished watching it. What a guy Coker is; as real as it gets, loyal… a friend. I wish him a prompt recovery

[@lewiswilliams4224]

Tom, the podcasts are great!!! Coker is the definition of “a real one”!!! Thanks for putting this out.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thanks for listening

[@chrisd5774]

The king of the grind

[@razman95x]

It would be great to hear more from Jason about his road to recovery

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Great idea

[@patricksomaine3700]

Huge fan of jason! I've been following him for a while, he's torn up but always keeps grinding (i follow him on IG). i can tell he's mentally tough and has to be one of the best. I think he benched 908lb at 198? insane!

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Even in the heaviest gear, that number is just outstanding.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

He's a living legend for sure

[@InvictusBeauty]

What is IG?

[@EastCoastPGS]

Love coker! Glad you had him on!

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thank you, we're delighted with the podcast as well

[@paulboulanger00]

Good dude, helped me out at meet when he was competing a bit, and was good to me when I visited Westside to squat. Glad to hear him on air.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

We're delighted to have him on

[@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw]

I’m glad for these podcast. There are interviews about 30 minutes long with the westside guys. However, bless the interviewer, he didn’t get the most out of the guys. I’m glad you and Dave Tate got more out of the guys

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thank you for watching and enjoying the podcasts, it's great to see so much good feedback

[@jefflegrande4078]

Great Podcast once again.I really enjoy them. Thanks Tom and Jason.

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

[@zarathustra007]

Coker does a GREAT Louie voice.

[@odn7769]

reminds me on the suggestion of somebody to make a louie voice compilation of all the guys :D

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

That he does

[@albert_barese]

he looks like a mini big lenny

[@skitz420]

lol... BROOOO!!!, piss

[@jlmcgill2031]

He’s definitely not a cookie cutter

[@MrJuly2020]

Coker was good bencher but I never saw him rip 650lbs in a loose tshirt on his tippy toes with no leg drive

[@harrod19]

Amazing

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Thank you!

[@boward1785]

I've lifted at a few meets with this dude a guy from Westside trained me when I was lifting in TN. I came down still lit he said hey man your in your underwear I was in the elevator everyone looked over. I was with the cell block crew

[@supertom8619]

“That’s Westside” awesome

[@corymcmillan5002]

I saw him drop 900 on his head. Was the first meet I ever saw in person

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

Wow, that must have been scary to see.

[@corymcmillan5002]

@@WestsideBarbellOfficial he had a knot on his head the size of like a baseball.

[@dirkdiggler7261]

Real dude tells it how it is good video

Dope podcast. Highly enjoyed it. Watching these With my son and teaching him about westside

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

That's awesome! Thank you for the support

[@justinmcfarland6515]

Does anyone know how tall Coker is? I can never tell by looking at him. By the way I'm writing this at the start of this. So if he mentions it later on, my fault

[@metalhead4827]

I think he’s 5’6” or something, Lou was 5’5” I believe and Coker looks an inch talet than him

[@justinmcfarland6515]

@@metalhead4827 Cool. Thanks man. Doesn't really matter, I could just never tell

[@InvictusBeauty]

I am SO PROUD of you! 😊 I will always LOVE you ❤️ my 1st EX-HUSBAND.

[@emilegriffith1473]

Is he a dwarf? Or some type of dwarfism? How tall is he?

[@mgtrout1414]

Bad Attitude Gym!

[@squatcurldeadlift7346]

Coker is a different dude, they don't make em like him anymore

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]

An absolute legend

[@Trick_or_tren]

Jason is a beast. I bet Louie but the put the bar on the floor to taunt him

[@WestsideBarbellOfficial]
