- Westside Barbell: Founded by Louie Simmons, Westside Barbell is a training facility that specializes in training competitive powerlifters. Based in Ohio, the facility's influence has psread worldwide, and the program focuses primarialy on building strength around the three main lifts used in a powerlifting competition: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. various training tools such as bands, chains, and different kinds of bars are employed th challenge the athlete in various ways to continuously stimulate strength gains in the three lifts. Special exercises are also incorporated to help the athlete overcome strength deficiencies in certain portions of the range of motion of each lift. The Westside philosophy of training has spawned many different spin-offs of the original program, which give several options to a practitioner of this sport.
