Westside Barbell is the Oxford of powerlifting and Louie Simmons is the head professor. Simmons has worked with twenty-five World and National Champion powerlifters, twenty-seven lifters who have totaled over 2000 pounds, and a World Record holder in the 400-meter dash (Butch Reynolds). He is a strength consultant for the Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and numerous college football teams. Simmons is one of only six lifters to total Elite in five weight classes within various lifting organizations. He is also the only lifter over the age of 50 to squat as much as 920 pounds and total over 2100 pounds. Louie invented the Reverse Hyper after breaking his fifth lumbar vertebra.
