This is not a lab coat vs. hoodie debate - it's basic shit!

It's rare that a week will go by where I'm not asked about the status of this documentary. I've put together a collection of relevant links below for those who have been asking.

A great coach will never have to BRAG how good they are. Their results and athletes will speak for them.

Are you sick of all the stupid questions? What about that one person who just NEVER stops? This is what you get paid to do, right? Where do you draw the line?

From 1990 to 2000, there wasn't a single person who came to Westside and stayed who didn't get significantly stronger. Everyone got stronger, wearing gear or not.

I was shocked at how weak I was when I took the gear off. All those wasted years for nothing - Said many former geared lifters when they switched to raw. What a load of crap that is and here is why.

Dropping deadlifts? Losing it at lockout? Weak off the floor? Here are some troubleshooting tips to turn your tragic training into triumph.

These five things are all that matters. You can RPE, AMRAP, ME, DE, CM, TM, PRE, INTRA, POST...and move from milligrams to grams per week until you are blue in the face. These five still matter most.

Deadlift sticking points can be mental, physical or technical. This post takes a look at all three by someone who hates to pull.

A circa max phase isn't easy, and recovering from it isn't either. Should you remove max effort training or keep pushing forward with it?

Watch this video and see why this will become a new mecca of LA.

Regardless of what anyone says, no parent has this all figured out. I want my kids to embrace what they love to do but to also understand that this doesn't come without work and effort. Very few people (if anyone) loves their work and lives ALL the time. In my opinion, this would be impossible- with obsession comes depression.

If you were a tweed, you got kicked out. If you were late, you could be kicked out. If you didn't go to help at meets, you could be kicked out. If you put yourself over the gym, you got kicked out. This plus over 100 changes I saw during my time at Westside Barbell Club.

Years back, these rules used to be covered in the beginning of every seminar I did.

I can't begin to count the number of times I've heard this comment, and what a bunch of crap it is. "In the grand scheme of things, nobody cares what you squat."

Most people just suck at time management. Have you ever paid attention to how much time you spend every day doing stupid shit that doesn't matter?

Under the bar and in the trenches squat tips that matter.

What is Autism? Dealing with the label.

Is deloading a necessary part of improving as a lifter or is it just a weak excuse to be lazy one week out of every month?

If the trainer can't get results using every form of communication in the physical world, how can they ever do it when most of these are taken away in the digital world?

Coming soon to elitefts.com.

Maybe this is just part of the evolution of any industry, and I have not been around long enough to see it until now.

To date, we (thanks to you) have granted 47 wishes. Let's make it 48 — meet Hayden. #worldwishday

You want debate? Go to a powerlifting meet and ask the lifters in the warm-up room if you should be focusing on your quads to build your squat. You'll hear a lot of opinions. Who's right?
