Squat and Dead Lift at Westside Barbell

http://www.synergy-athletics.com

Here are some clips from my trip to Ohio with the guys from the Diesel Crew. Our first stop on Friday was a squat primary day at Westside Barbell with Louie Simmons. Louie still has it! Throwing around weight with the "young guys." Thanks to Louie for having us, and AJ Roberts for showing us the ropes. Much appreciated.

Later that day we headed over to Elite's compound, and they were squatting as well!

Can you imagine if the guy at 4:40 decided to purple nurple you

@Og3990 Ouch!

yo joe how highs that box set up ???

[jhashey]

@HyN0iK42 Hey, I don't recall what we used. Louie said they use typically between 12 - 16 inches, (but we used slightly higher I think).

can somebody tell me why people somtimes were big belts around their waist when workingout?

[jhashey]

@CocoKing238 only during Max effort movement, it helps abdominal bracing (pushing your belly out against the belt to stabilize the core - again only during certain lifts, and during max effort.)

4:40.... friggin amazing...

What are the bands for?

[zenbodybuilder]

Indeed, interesting training concepts..And also training as a team...

@ridehonda107 nah that's sounds like YouTube keyboard warrior myth. The people who told you that only enjoy doing dynamic chair sits and max effort finger-typing reps.

@CocoKing238 to support your back

very impressive lifting. have any of y'all experienced knee or spine problems from these super low squats though? i heard some people talking about that possibly resulting in injury.

[Minotona]

that plate pinch is insane

[GarotTheMan]

not judging anyone on technique but doesnt completely sitting down on box squats mess your spine up?

[overloooooooooord]

Westside Barbell can squat over 1000lbs, but with that deep it isn't A SQUAT. It's just squat on paralel, not under.....
