The Louie Simmons Westside Barbell Book of Methods is a comprehensive collection of training knowledge and experience obtained by Louie Simmons and the Westside Barbell Strength Training Team over the past 30 years.

Throughout this period, Simmons experimented with a range of training methods, including the traditional Western periodization program and the Soviet system. After 12 years of trial and error, he eventually settled on a 3-week wave system, which leads into circa max and delayed transformation. This system has enabled Westside lifters to break over 100 world records and has helped countless more athletes reach their goals.

The Westside Barbell Program is constantly evolving and getting stronger, evident by its impressive resume of world record lifts, which can be found in the back of the book and on the Westside Barbell website.
