Westside Connection
Although the Ohio Westside Barbell Club has marketed itself far better than the original Culver City, California crew did, the former is a shittier, fatter, and far dumber iteration on the original. Rather than improving the methods of the original crew, they made them worse by introducing the methods of Soviet weightlifters to them. Those same Soviet lifters were ignoring the idiotic advice of their coaches and were following the advice of George Frenn and John Kuc, a world-record holding Olympic hammer thrower and former training partner of Jon Kuc, who years later would set a slew of massive powerlifting records.
In Westside Connection, you will learn about the original Westside Barbell, the crew who is basically responsible for turning powerlifting into a sport.
- You’ll learn about its three founders, powerlifters Bill “Peanuts” West and Joe Dimarco, and world record-holder in the outdoor hammer throw George Frenn; you’ll learn about the methods they developed (stripped of Louie’s unnecessary and unproductive tinkering and his asinine addition of periodization); and you’ll come to discover the Frenn was basically the god of powerlifting as far as the Soviets (who were again ignoring the periodization schemes developed by their coaches and using the methods of Frenn).
- Then you’ll discover who influenced them, and what their methods were. It’s here you’ll read about US Olympic weightlifting gold medalists Tommy Kono and Ike Berger, and how they and their teammates on the US Olympic weightlifting techniques transmitted their methods to the members of the Westside Crew.
- You’ll find about the lifters that Westside spun off, like Roger Estep, who would transmit Westside’s methods to his home gym in West Virginia and turn his home gym crew, the Wild Bunch, into a legitimate East Coast competitor to the Westside Crew.
This 128-page ebook is jam-packed with badass training routines from tons of god-tier lifters who were either a part of, and influence to, or an offshoot of the original Culver City, CA Westside Barbell like:
- legendary strongman and proto-powerlifter Chuck Ahrens
- US Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting and the 1950s god of squatting, Paul Anderson
- US Olympic weightlifting gold medalist and avid bodybuilder Ike Berger
- four-time FICH Mr. World-Universe and US Olympic weightlifting god Tommy Kono
- inventor of the incline bench press and god-tier bench presser Steve Merjanian
- the god of deadlifting before powerlifting was even a sport, Bob Peoples
- and the methods utilized by the odd gym that served as Westside’s primary local competition- Zuver’s Gym, an aggressively evangelical Christian Disneyland of a gym
- the only powerlifter Joe Weider ever begged to compete in bodybuilding, Roger Estep, whose body was as beautiful as it was capable of astonishing powerlifting feats
- Phil Grippaldi, a guy who went from being a world record holder in the Olympic Press and possessor of absurd 21″ ams at 198lbs to holding what I would imagine to be a world record for the world’s oldest crack dealer, as he was arrested at the ripe old age of 61
- and Pat Casey, the dude who was the first man to bench 600lbs in competition, as well as the first person to squat 800 and the first person to total 2000lbs.
That’s 458 pages of badass powerlifting programs, diet tips, and training techniques in one easy-to-download package for only $50 bucks!
