Here at Ultimate Performance we rightly pride ourselves on being a totally unique high performance facility that helps our clients get stronger, leaner, and bigger than any other personal training gym in the country. Our results in both fat loss and muscle building speak for themselves, as does my own roster of clients who make their living based upon the way that they look. And let’s not forget that we have three personal trainers already qualified for the UKBBF British Bodybuilding Finals, a former Olympic athlete, and the strongest group of personal trainers any of us have ever seen. Yet in the hardcore stakes we pale into absolutely nothing in comparison to the subject of today’s blog.
Most of you will never have heard of Westside Barbell. It’s just a small, very private powerlifting gym in one of the more insalubrious areas of Columbus, Ohio. It isn’t flashy, and it is so not mainstream that it makes Muscleworks in London seem like one of those nice looking, heavy weights lacking, sterile Matt Roberts “spas”! What it is though is one of the most hardcore lifting establishments in the entire world and it’s full of some of the biggest, strongest men on the planet. It is a “by invitation” gym, where if you are lucky enough and deemed hardcore enough you may receive a message from legendary Westside owner Louis Simmons asking if you are man (or woman, they only discriminate against wussies not women) enough to step up to any number of almightily heavy challenges. If you think I am exaggerating at all then just read the email I received from Westside, Louis is looking for men from another planet!
“Westside is looking for so pro level or near pro level
powerlifters.
Example: 1810 total at 181 lbs; 2200 total at 242 lbs; 2400 at 308
lbs or close to these as an entry level at Westside.We will accept
small lifters with big lifts of 148 lbs and down.
For pro level lifters supplement sponsorship is available to some
degree, equipment, shirts, suits, etc. and for all time world
records we pay $750.00 for men.
Of course you must relocate to Columbus, OH and be 100% dedicated.
You must find your own job. Its important that you come visit for
a possible week to evaluate us and let us evaluate you. We expect
the best.
There are two trainings available. In the AM we have a
2400, 2500, 2-2600 and a 2700 totaler to train with. In the PM you
would train with a group consisting of Dave Hoff who has a 2615
total at 260 body weight and amongst others.”
