My brother has been raving about Louie Simmons to me for years. He gave me The Book of Methods several years ago for Christmas. I got the Louie Simmons (Westside Barbell) bug myself once I started doing some research, knowing that I really wanted to understand the science of lifting weights in general. I saw that Louie's bundle of books was on sale and I had to jump on it. I got an updated version of the Book of Methods, along with many others. I am now addicted to reading about every possible secret that there is to achieving more power! These books are awesome and I can't stop reading them, even the ones that don't necessarily apply to what my goals are (e.g. improving jumping). Even those books are fantastic though. I have a 12 year old son that is obsessed with trying to dunk a basketball, so even that book fits right in. I've immediately started implementing some of the things I've learned, like deadlifting off of a raised platform to improve my deadlift, among other things. These amazing books have provided me with tips that I have never heard before and I feel like a student of the game even more now than ever, thanks to Louie and the Westside Barbell team. Thanks so much!!!
