ohayo is definitely a very blue-collar area it's kind of a no-frills type of environment you know you've got people that have farm jobs factory jobs there's a little bit more of that type of thing so I think there's a there's a respect for strength the fact that the Arnold Classic is here bringing in bodybuilding and fitness it's kind of made central Ohio a place where strength is just respected and as far as powerlifting and strength sports allowed as dude Louis Simmons and his Westside barbell being in Columbus Ohio when I was fifty years old let's go to 920 was the third best squat in the world open when I was fifty years old I've been 600 no one had ever been 550 I pulled 722 as 212 pounds I was 57 years old pulled 715 into 17 and when at 63 I pulled 695 deadlift at 217 and squad at 7:30 and benched 510 what site is my life it's all I do this is where all my friends aren't on my memory and it's like people's dreams I mean it's not even a factor to get invited to the Westside seriously I mean you know all kidding aside I mean it's a super super big deal and as long as I have known Lee like if you get a key it is better to go necklace I mean seriously I mean you keep the key like there's no gym dues it's just a privilege to even happen we got I trained with no before so he was always like a crazy he's a creative guy he's crazy laughter and I was like all right that's it yeah but it's like we knew he did I knew more about it than everybody else that's let's do all the knowledge my guys break World Records that's what makes my gym what it is every time does it mean it makes my gym harder to get into it I don't need this anybody you know ordinary people give the ordinary results that's all they'll get to meet extraordinary people it's hard it's hard to party I call it prison without bars this is the this is the hardcore June I've been I've been all over this United States I've been to every gym there is to go to and there ain't nothing like this place when you walk into West Side bar well it's it's an atmosphere that that will change you as soon as you walk into it like I like Louie told me yesterday you walk in this gym we'll have a group of 10 people and those 10 people those would be the 10 strongest people at a meet you walk into you know what I mean my dream is to be strong in the world and this place to do it there's nowhere else you can go you're going to do it because you got to train two partners you have the atmosphere you got Lou you know so and he's got all that you know he's got the formula I think the thing with Louie that has made him special is the fact that he is the guy who brought a lot of the Russian and Eastern Bloc trained and philosophies to the US and a lot of the a lot of these things are being followed by strength coaches in the in the industry in general he has had NFL coaches stop in the gym and kind of try to poke around and find out about his methods and apply that to things like football words with you know indirectly with the Patriots the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks at the Cleveland Browns a lot but I actually think I'm more popular overseas I want world records you know I want to dominate this board like no one ever has I was just elected into the whole thing pal didn't help finger barbell and I turned it down and people's asking why I turned it down because I'm not done you know I have four books I have a fit book being at I'm writing a six book and I have three new I have I haven't seen that room a revolution sized drink training and and then I you know have the every verse I press getting two more patents than that I am far from done I've never be done when I died what side barber will die there's no one can take to club over they don't have attitudes that I've got and so that says when I died was the club will dine so but I'm not planning on dying to Zedd you
