View Full Version : Bambam92: Westside Barbell Certification!
Hey fellas, been a while since I made some BIG noise in here....but just letting everyone know I am going to be working my ass off in preparation to get my WESTSIDE BARBELL certification. Ive been reading alot of the articles on their site, and have ordered the books needed to be "well read" in the diff and special / specific areas of becoming certified by W.S.B.B. It is a LONG road ahead of me with my nose in a shit ton of books, and many many articles...but damn, when I get done, and when I DO PASS MY TEST, I will be one hell of a trainer, coach, athlete..etc.
Im already an asst. coach with a local football team (H.S.) and its gonna be awesome to lift with these kids, grow with them, and watch the team I will hopefully be with for a while grow and dominate teams because we have that special edge, a little WESTSIDE knowledge and the ANIMAL brotherhood behind us (Me)!!
Anywho, just letting you guys know that on my quest to becoming certified, I will gain some very valuable knowledge, and want to pass it on to others and help out my fellow brothers and sisters IN IRON! Any questions or anything you guys wanna know, let me know. I will update a few times a week and make sure everyone knows the diff. training areas I am covering.
Wish me luck fellas!

Excellent!! I have no doubt you'll pass the test. I'm hoping one of these days I too will have that certification.
Best of luck to you, and have fun!
Wishing you the very best BamBam92!

HUGE PROPS AND CONGRATS! Thats awesome man. A buddy of mine has been working with Louie- David Kuck- he's a monster, and he's about our age. You'll probably meet him.
Let me know how shit goes down, and if you need to crash somewhere in Cbus call me.
Im def still here fellas. Just hard to keep getting on here as regularly as I would like to. Im busy with my CBus travels, training, coaching, life itself with work ad the misses and such. But, Im still here and this westside stuff is top level stuff. I love it!!!

OHHHHHHHH SHIIITTTTTT. Dude you know I would be down. Powerlifting isnt really my thing, but the man is a legend and would love to hear what he has to say about training in general. Not to mention, critiquing form to get every ounce of strength out of every lift. Let me know what I have to do Josh, I love to hit up Westside with you one of these days. It' dbe an honor.
Either way, how are things going? What has he been cramming into your brain over there? haha
Fury
You back in town yet?
I m down asap mang. My left shoulder is giving me some issues so I m taking the week off from shoulders, I could use a delt blasting next week, or next weekend.
You around for The House's ABC, car pool??? Text me stat to set something up bro.
BamBam,
Dude, hit a brother up man. I would die to see Westside bro. Like Fury powerlifting is kinda new to me, but it would be a dream come true bro. The knowledge and the history alone would be amazing.
Hope things are going well.

Well guys next time I go I will ask Louie if its cool...shouldnt be a problem. Its fairly big gym and only certain guys lift on certain days...but I will ask for sure. He is one of the nicest and most helpful individuals I know. A true legend!
As for cramming my mind with stuff...it has been a mix with lifting stories, stories about meeting famous athletes and coaches and having Louie tell them they r retarded lol, just funny shit about life and friends, and then the never ending amount of stuff he has rammed down my throat into my skull about lifting like an ELITE member of society as he calls them.
Again, anything specific you guys wanna know about lemme know. I can hopefully start answering any questions you have...or to the best of my ability!
Hit it hard fellas and see you soon!
