Learn Conjugate From The Source

The legacy of Westside Barbell is rooted in Strength and Louie Simmons’ pursuit of it. It was through his evolution of the Conjugate System that he built the World’s Strongest Gym and forged lifters who pushed the boundaries of what was believed to be possible.

This seminar is hosted by Tom Barry and he has created your chance to train with some of the best to ever step on the platform, in the same racks, and on the same benches where Louie Simmons trained them.

Overview

Your day will start in traditional Westside fashion, at Bob Evans (included). After breakfast we’ll head to the gym, where you’ll be split into 3 small groups for hands-on coaching with the Westside Legends on Bench, Squat and Deadlift.

Each coach will take you through a specific lift, offering detailed feedback and pointing out weaknesses you need to address. To provide the best possible learning opportunity on each lift, we’re limiting attendance to just 18 attendees. This means you won’t just learn how to lift - you’ll learn how to fix what’s holding you back and unlock your potential.

After completing all three lifts in the morning, we’ll break for a catered lunch at the iconic Westside Barbell headquarters (included).

After lunch you will sit down for a round table style in depth Q&A session with the coaches. This will be your opportunity to ask questions and immerse yourself in the Westside System.

We will wrap the day up with a group training session so that you can utilize the advice given while in a training setting.

This isn’t just another “training seminar”, this is your chance to learn from some of the best lifters in history, in the world’s most infamous gym. If you’re serious about becoming the best you can be - this is an experience you cannot afford to miss.
