Jahman Borneo Form is important but thats not what injures these guys, its the multi ply suits and blasting steroids to just completely push their bodies past anything remotely normal
I’m a powerlifter and go to a garage gym 6 days a week, I visited Westside over the summer and No gym I’ve been to has compared to the energy atmosphere in that place
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
I met the Westside gang at the local power lifting meet here in Newark, Ohio. Shook Louie’s hand and all. These guys are the real deal, their passion for the sport is unreal.
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
Really enjoyed watching this. Much better than I had anticipated. I remember training there with Lou in the early 90's before it went back to the Elite only garage gym set up. Chuck, Jeff Chorpenning and Lou were very gracious in showing me how to train.
Im so fucking excited for that, since every criticism is legit. He also has a copy of the interview footage, in case the editors try to make him look like a bad guy and dont show the whole thing. Im mainly excited for the facebook shitstorm thou.
"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?
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.
Jim Bech ... LOL! That was funny dude! I don't use their style of training but whether you like them or not, Westside Barbell and Louie Simmons are powerlifting icons. Like Hoff said, everybody knows Westside and Louie. I hope this makes it to Netflix or wherever because it just looks cool.
Crossfitter: Oh my god, I just did 20 kip-ups and 20 Kettlebell swings for time, I'm so blitzed. Westside: You haven't even earned the right to lube when we rape you.
So man powerlifter loses his finger 30 years later he's in a life and death situation where he needs to grip onto a bar or he would fall into a pit of acid The bodybuilder in that situation does strict pull ups and asks how many times does he need to save his life
"Put that in this fucking documentary....." Also, you gotta love ya'self some good ol' powerlifting beef, especially people arguing over training methods. Which frankly, is 11 different kinds of hilarious to me.
I went to a gym like this back in the late 80s and 90s.... alot of them were like this...no sippy cups there boys.... just raw iron.... Westside was the pinnacle!!! And all gyms wanted to copy back then
Numerous people have reached out to the creator(s) of the documentary, regarding an estimated release date, and so far=CRICKETS. Initially, they said it would be out in early 2018, but their silence since mid-April does not bode well.
I'm not a powerlifter and really couldn't care less about the topic. I'm just here to tip my cap to that thumbnail shot. That's pure 80's early 90's dad shit right there. 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.
I flew from Canada to Columbus 12 years ago this summer trained west side for two months..looking forward to see this one. They must of cooled it down for this video..lol!
Split the group in half: - Group A maintains their regiment. - Group B maintains their regiment, yet adds high cardiovascular; 100 meter sprints, bleachers, 180+bpm. I'd like to see A vs B.
Wow, I cant believe Louie let them make this... I first learned of WB when I competed in the Keystone State Game 18 and under Powerlifting. I remember being told never to ask about WB... If I was worthy I would be told!
RIP Louie! Thanks for the doco team, watched it twice now. Would love to know if there is extra footage? The doco didn't last long enough for me. Great stuff team and go WSBB!!
Westside vs planet fitness
That's one heck of a comparison!
Ahahahahaha. I got crazy when you said that.
Will there be pizza?
FUCK YEAH. I'D PAY TO WATCH THAT
Westside would have a lot of cardio equipment to throw around..
If you're a powerlifter or not...their intensity is contagious.
Jahman Borneo Form is important but thats not what injures these guys, its the multi ply suits and blasting steroids to just completely push their bodies past anything remotely normal
@@jahmanborneo1343 i don't see much sacrifice of form lol
@@jahmanborneo1343 been doing pretty well so far lol
i watch this before i go to the gym.
I’m a powerlifter and go to a garage gym 6 days a week, I visited Westside over the summer and No gym I’ve been to has compared to the energy atmosphere in that place
RIP Louie. You helped advance strength training for generations to come.
I don’t think he checks UA-cam comments
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
The jump onto a box at 1:05 is the most insane thing I think I have ever seen. And I've dropped acid at a dinosaur museum.
Lmao... Memories.. Oh the memories..
At dinosaur museum? Really? That's interesting .
WOW!!! That's sayin' some serious shit, bro...!
(that was a hell of a jump, no joke)
This might seem random Sam Smith, but so have I!
Man that sounds like a hell of a trip...lol
I was the strongest in my life when I trained at WSBB. Louie and Chuck V pushed me to a 625 bench at 237lbs. What a great time in my life!
Did you ever meet Tilt or Matt Dimel? Good to hear about your time there!

Can't wait to see this
nothing wrong with gear

Rip Louie Simmons! Legends never die
I heard one of their lifters broke both legs during a squat and still didn't hit depth.
Mike BEWB you win my muscular friend, top comment
Lotta gay in these comments.
@@dustinbrehm2310 That is the single best response I have seen
Mike BEWB Spoken like a true Crossfit puss !
Even Louie would laugh at this! Well...maybe not.
The ONLY documentry that fucking matters
Holy shit, I don't know shit about power lifting or anything of the sort but fuck I am down to watch and learn, looks epic af!
if you need help with starting strength programming to get into powerlifting just message me man
I've watched this about 10 times now.
same
LOL, Chad Wesley Smith, one of the more outspoken critics of the Westside method, actually got interviewed in this film. Shit just got real...
Im so fucking excited for that, since every criticism is legit. He also has a copy of the interview footage, in case the editors try to make him look like a bad guy and dont show the whole thing. Im mainly excited for the facebook shitstorm thou.
I want to see the whole interview
lol
"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?

this is way better than generation iron pure untamed rage and strength
Have you seen it? It was good?
song: Imperion- Titanslayer
I wouldn`t mind paying a big amount of money to see this documentary! This seems to be the greatest thing I have ever seen!
Hahaha
Lester Long go to kickstarter and pay!
Lester Long your life must be shit if this is the best thing you've ever seen
looks so fucking SAVAGE and CRAZY! Can't wait!! Makes me wanna go to my gym and squat 6 inches above parallel right now!
Jim Bech ... LOL! That was funny dude! I don't use their style of training but whether you like them or not, Westside Barbell and Louie Simmons are powerlifting icons. Like Hoff said, everybody knows Westside and Louie. I hope this makes it to Netflix or wherever because it just looks cool.
I never said that Westside wasn't iconic. The documentary definitely looks interesting.
Oh, I know. That was just a general comment. :) It does look really interesting!
Lmao
I'm a professional bodybuilder and to me this documentary looks amazing! Definitely would watch this before I train!
I never used Louie Simmons' "Westside Barbell" training methods, but can't wait to watch the documentary.
I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THIS!!!
Zach Even - Esh you and I both brother
Wow even legend like ed coan respects westside
Crossfitter: Oh my god, I just did 20 kip-ups and 20 Kettlebell swings for time, I'm so blitzed.
Westside: You haven't even earned the right to lube when we rape you.
RIP huge influence on me for 30 years
what an amazing show, they literally gave it everything.
I watched this on Netflix like 10times
Now I have two bad knees and two bulging disc and I got legs tomorrow 🥰
this was way deeper of a documentry then i expected. really good. got me pumped and wanting to buy some rubber bands and chains lol
my training partner always talks about Larry Pacific pacifico loosing his finger. that's the difference between bodybuilding and powerlifting.
can you aware me, please?
Marius Zeratul
Rosetta Stone dude...
So man powerlifter loses his finger 30 years later he's in a life and death situation where he needs to grip onto a bar or he would fall into a pit of acid
The bodybuilder in that situation does strict pull ups and asks how many times does he need to save his life
Seems more intriguing than Generation Iron 2
This fucking movie...
Thank you Louie, Rest in peace.
Watching this trailer is a great pre-workout motivator!
I've always been more Eastside Barbell. It's better there.
"Put that in this fucking documentary....."
Also, you gotta love ya'self some good ol' powerlifting beef, especially people arguing over training methods. Which frankly, is 11 different kinds of hilarious to me.
A line stolen from Paddy Conroy.
I went to a gym like this back in the late 80s and 90s.... alot of them were like this...no sippy cups there boys.... just raw iron.... Westside was the pinnacle!!! And all gyms wanted to copy back then
no A7 shirts would be allowed there huh
I probably shouldn't have watched this before trying to go to sleep.
RIP Louie Simmons the legend.
Proud as fuk to live in Gahanna, close to Westside.. it's been my goal for 2 years to join that gym
Looks awesome. Greg Panora is a true genius in the sport of powerlifting.
Rick Trussell he does coaching too. Not conjugate but it’s very specific and everyone of his clients has gotten stronger
watched this about 15 times! Can't wait
When?!? Need more NOW!!!
can't wait.
Its finally on Netflix......worth the build up IMO. Motivation to work hard in any realm.
I need to watch this now.

It really is a great documentary. I just lift weight and I've watched it at least 5 times
Rest in Power Louie 🙏🙏
Documentary of the Year ooooo
A year later and I’m still waiting.
My brother in law and sister made this documentary possible!
This alone is a motivational video
That feel when no gym bully to push your limits.
I flew from Canada to Columbus 12 years ago this summer trained west side for two months..looking forward to see this one. They must of cooled it down for this video..lol!
I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!

what do you think you'll prove?
I live 13 minutes from the gym and my dad knew the guys who first worked out there
Still excited
This was an awesome movie.
Wow, I cant believe Louie let them make this... I first learned of WB when I competed in the Keystone State Game 18 and under Powerlifting. I remember being told never to ask about WB... If I was worthy I would be told!
These guys are nuts! If you want inspiration. IT IS ON!

I love powerlifting documentaries, thank you for puffing the effort
As an athlete....This palace of grit is on my bucket list
