So relieved that I have passed the exam to honour the great man Louie Simmons, by far the toughest exam I have ever done and the exam really challenged my understanding and application of the principles of Westside Barbell, I highly recommend this to anyone who coaches anyone, ashley
It has literally changed my life, my vision as a coach and this study path of these months has totally involved me like nothing else in my life. I feel honored to be one of Westside Barbell's certified Special Strengths coaches.
The conjugate method has become the main part of my programs for athletes in various sports. Thank you Westside Barbell and Louie Simmons for allowing me as a coach and my athletes to raise their level and performance.
Happy with the studying material, just a little confused with the studying guide but everything else is top. I started studying and must say the first book i chose to start with is detailed in every aspect of training, i am exited to keep studying further. Highly recommended 🙌 Conserning customer service: very fast and friendly!
I can not thank Louie Simmons and all at Westside for the quality education materials that I have just received in order to study for the Certificate in Special Strength. The attention to details and the explanations have made this a wonderful experience, real work information that i can use with myself and my rugby players every day, ashley
An exam that truly challenges your knowledge, your ability to explain and apply it.
