Got my new @westsidebarbellofficial shirt in.

I don’t rep many other places or people, and I always love to share all the lessons taught to me from Louie -

and just as Louie created Westside Barbell to honor Bill Peanuts West and those who paved the way before him, I believe it is important for coaches to do the same 🏆🏆

In 2027 we / @businessofstrength will host Underground Strength Con - this year we will be honoring the late Dr Ken Leistner 💪

Ironically, this collection of original Westside Barbell articles was photocopied by Dr Ken and gifted to Jim Wendler @jimwendler who then gifted it to me - I always tell Jim and many others, this book is one of the best gifts I have ever received!!!

Grateful for all the IRON lessons and IRON history 🛠️🛠️

College Strength Coaches ➡️ You must have business knowledge because the only guarantee in our “profession” is there are no guarantees ✔️✔️

You must have and must continue to acquire greater business knowledge at all times, so you can take your skills and impact people no matter where you are, and your back is never against the wall 🏆

Questions for you ➡️

When you lost your last job, how many people checked up on you a week later? A month or months later?

Are they still in touch with you?

And are these the same people that said they love you and you are number one?

Schools / Universities and ALL sport programs and really ALL parents need to 🛑 STOP giving an athlete clearance to return to play when they have NOT done any REAL strength training to TRULY prepare them for the demands of their competitive sport ✔️✔️✔️

Just because the doctor said the athlete is “Cleared ready to return to sport” does not mean the athlete is TRULY READY & PREPARED

➡️ Has the athlete demonstrated that he or she has the strength, stability, power, and confidence to be put back in the competitive arena?

By the way, don’t ever ask the Strength Coach for help, they are just the “dumb weights girl / guy”

👀👀👀

When I was in high school, I read Arnold‘s book, the education of a bodybuilder several hundred times, I never returned it to the library for over three years 👀

I remember reading the story of Arnold going to the woods with his training partner with 250 pounds and they would do squats up to 50 sets until they could no longer stand, let alone squat

For me, this was the beginning of no rules training, a topic I have written about for now 20+ years, and now you know the origin story

I believe many athletes need to take themselves to a place where they break the rules and stop worrying about the perfect program and what is optimal and all the perfect recovery, that type of thinking where you’re always holding yourself back and scared to do something will keep you average at best

Rotate the bars often ✔️✔️✔️

Many times athletes will say, “I don’t like that bar“

That means it’s uncomfortable & challenging, GOOD!!

Training is NOT supposed to be comfortable.

Stop seeking comfort, instead, seek challenges which lead to GROWTH.

2009 - Throwback training ✔️ Edison, NJ

It’s crazy looking back coming across old videos and realizing that the Underground has been in business for about 25 years now 🏆🏆

Success is never an accident - we have had to constantly evolve and improve, just as we expect greatness and great effort from our members/students, we expected from our ourselves ✊✊✊

Note that the athletes are pushing one another and working together • Great training partners here pushing one another.

If you want to be great, you need to steer clear of people who hold you back and slow you down 🛑

Full Body training day for strength & power.

3 exercises for shoulder health ✔️✔️✔️

Enjoy!!

I did a couple of other exercises, but I did not record them, I always struggle with setting up a camera while I am training 😐

I know it’s not good to look back, but man do I really miss the days of people traveling and showing up for live seminars to get their learn on 🤝🤝🤝

Slightly different from today, most people will scroll through every video in five seconds, pretty hard to learn when that is your style of “learning”

Opportunity waits for no one.

Opportunity is meant to be seized.

The loud, thundering knocks of opportunity are pounding on your door….

Most athletes…

Most parents of athletes….

Refuse to answer the door.

I have never met a successful person who has more excuses than everyone else.

Successful people have urgency, they’re not waiting around for the perfect moment because they know perfection is a myth.

Start NOW.

➡️ DM the word NOW & we will send you an invitation for a free intro, space is limited

Serious inquiries only ✔️✔️
