RIP Louie Simmons, founder Westside Barbell.

A true OG in Powerlifting. Westside was a Mecca to many strength athletes, as Gold’s Gym was to bodybuilders.

I’ve got a ton of his treatises on lifting. He did a ton to make getting stronger easier for the masses.

The reverse hyper and belt squat are also amazing devices he was key in developing. Big loss.
