Welcome Brazilian Team

While traveling to compete at the WNPF this past November 8 to 12 in Atlanta, George, the Brazilian Powerlifting team visited Lou at Westside Barbell.

 

 

 
 

 
 
 

If you want to excel at powerlifting or any sport, then you must develop speed strength, increase acceleration, and gain absolute strength. Bands and chains can be instrumental in developing these aspects of strength.

There are several ways of raising work capacity. One method that we use at Westside is using the pulling sled for the hips and glutes. We pull the sled with the strap attached

to the back of our power belts. We walk with long, powerful strides, maintaining an upright body position, pulling through with the feet, which stress the hamstrings and glutes. This is common practice for throwers overseas. For building the outside of the hips and the inside of the legs, position the straps around the ankles and walk sideways, first one way, then the other, left then right, forward and backward.

Lou's tread sled

Innovative Strength Equipment begins with an idea!

Lou talks to people all the time about their sport, and if they are having trouble doing something. He thinks about how it can be fixed, that is how he gets some of his ideas. Sometimes Lou is watching a sport, and when he sees weaknesses or problems he then tries to imitate what they are doing, and gets ideas on what needs to be done, and that may start an idea. The thing is he can put himself in other's shoes no matter the sport, and work on the weaknesses of the body or the movement, and see how it can be done better. Lou eats sleeps and thinks the idea until he knows what he wants to accomplish. Then he starts asking questions, and talking to engineers, like our friend Doug Ebert or to one of our manufacturers, like Tim Vanhorn, and gets the idea on paper, and starts to visualize it as a machine. Then Lou tries it and he watches others using it. He figures if it is doing what he wants it to or is it doing something better. Lou can even get an idea for a better apparatus, a different apparatus. He watches over the making design and styling before it goes anywhere. And of course, I left out the most important part, it goes to the patent office if need to. Great care is taken into Lou's ideas, and as usual the bottom line is to make everyone out there stronger faster, and more conditioned for their sport.
