Thanks for posting the pics, Deciever!
Okay, now these pics aren't the best but they are the real deal. My sister went to Columbus over the weekend for business and I told her she had to go by Westside Barbell. She actually spoke with Louie who allowed her to take the 10 pics above. She was very intimidated as she know very little about powerlifting but she said that Louie was very gracious and approachable. I'm not sure who is training but they were performing chain suspended good-mornings. There are two very bad pics of Louie standing out in front of the club and he is speaking with Amy Weisberger (sp?). Thazzit!
Oh, I am very jealous of my sister who has actually been inside the Westside Barbell Club and spoken to Louie Simmons. It's just not right, I tell you.

I am jealous of your sister too. That is really cool.
Screwball, Hannibal, okie, and whoever else is coming down, I have to show you my idea for a midwest side barbell club (name is a work in progress) but downtown Jenks has a place for rent that is in a little strip shopping center just like that one, with tile over concrete floors, and it looks like it could be just about perfect.
I have some things cooking that may turn into me being able to open a private gym. Then when we get together to train, we could go there. Still in the very beginning stages right now, but I am very excited about the possibilities.

I don't want to jinx it or anything, but I have a couple of things going that if they turn out the way I am hoping, could turn into a small private gym catering especially to football players.
I have some contacts that could make this a reality. If I can train some athletes, at the high school level ( we have won the past 5 or 6 state football championships straight) to pay the bills, that would be cool. I also may be training an NFL linebacker who graduated here 5 years ago, after the end of this NFL season. If that comes through, and I get the go ahead from a couple of other folks with the high school kids, then I may open up a key club.
My wife has been after me to do something like this for a little while. I am very hopefull that I may have something up and running by next spring. Need to do something to make these slow ass white boys around here get some speed and strength.
I may get some flack from the high school strength coach, but even if I just cater to kids wanting to make the team the next year, it could still work. I don't need to make any money off the deal, just enough to cover the rent and equipment payments would be plenty. And I would have a cool place to train out of the deal as well. Also, I like passing along info, and love to see people get stronger, so it is a win, win, win deal if I can pull it off.
And Deciever, you are welcome here any time.

Cool pics Screwball!
the guy with the tank top and the tattoo on his arm is Matt Smith, if you dont know who he is hit yourself in the head with a hammer, the guy in the green westside tee is i believe doc dave(could be wrong), and im unsure of the guy in the orange either danny dauge or dave beversdorf i cant remember exactly.
every serious powerlifter should make a trip to westside its incredible and very inspiring, i am fortunate enough to live 45 min away and train with some guys from westside on wed night in newark (joe bayles, jim danison, josh guthridge)
