Louie Simmons Totals 1,850

[DieHollywoodDie]

Sorry if a repost but:

"Powerlifting icon and Westside Barbell owner Louie Simmons (220) was back on the platform on Saturday for the SPF Cell Block Classic in Nashville, Tennessee. The 63-year-old Simmons racked up a 1,850 pound total that included lifts of 725, 455 and 670 pounds.

His total is good for 39th on the Powerlifting Watch Lifter Rankings and his deadlift ranks him eighteenth."


I know he is shooting up enough drugs that lil' wayne would be impressed, but still. pretty strong for an old guy!

[isaku900]

dude...the cell block classic was on december 5th...

[ShutUpAndSquat]

Being 63 and pulling 670 lbs. off the floor...I reallllllly hope I get to be that strong while being in my 60s, that's so freakin' awesome.

[Deadlift_10KG]

His dedication is what keeps me impressed. And his usage of anabolics :P

so, because he totaled 1850 at the age of 63 and just returned from an injury, he does anabolics? maybe its called decades of training, diet, willpower? maybe he really juices and such. but, not everyone who pulls 600+ is on juice and such. ignorance is bliss....

He admitted to over 30 years of anabolic usage.

no hate bro. but your really a naive individual. a fraction of a percent of the population has the genetic capability to, for example, deadlift over 600 pounds. you could train your whole life and never get it.

especially at age 63. there isnt a shadow of a doubt that he is chemically assisted.

no.. unless you weigh 130 - lbs.


edit: i agree w. louie being drugged up... but i dont think a 600 lb dead is that rare..

if your into powerlifting and you lift at a gym where there are a lot of powerlifters then it might not be that rare. i personally have not seen anyone pull 600 in person once in my life and i have belonged to a few "hardcore" gyms with some really serious lifters

[animalfan]

he's never made it a secret, but why does it have to be brought up here? it's still a great accomplishment at his age- hell, even if you don't bring his age into it.

Any guy can total elite without anabolics.

Train smart, dedication, eat big.

It will take longer without anabolics but it can certainly be done given 10 to 15 years.

this, especially in a thread that didn't need to be made considering there were a BUNCH of posts about this meet and Louie's total as of...oh a little under a month ago when the damn meet actually took place.

this thread was solely about that being pretty impressive. the guy has openly said he's on gear for decades and claims anyone lifting anything over 1000 lbs is clearly enhanced. get YOUR facts straight. nonetheless he's a beast.

and thus the disclaimer. i never saw the posts, calm down.

I have said in the past that elite totals are far too low, and its a joke.... but to say every man on this planet (or even 90+%) can total elite and have the genetic capacity to is probably a stretch.

I do think 90% of the male population can total elite given good training big eating and time that it will take.

If a guy has a disease or a genetic problem then its going to be far far harder or even impossible.

[Kiknskreem]

Because its germane to the subject? Just like we might discuss whether it was raw or geared, his age, or the fed.

Is that really why you think it shouldn't be discussed or just a convenient if, meaningless reason to point to?

I've seen 3 people in the age range of 19 to 28 do it just on my college club team alone, and several guys in the low to mid 500's. In terms of the general population yes its rare, when referring to the lifting populatio (and even more specific people who actually know what they are doing) its strong but not some unobtainable number

[ShutUpAndSquat]

oh god, i knew this thread was going to be all about drugs.

LOUIE IS 63 ****ING YEARS OLD

drugs or not, he's kicking ass in a 63 year old man's body. how many 60 year old men can even deadlift 225? he is physically stronger than what 99% of the male population could ever hope to be.

if his results at age of 63 are the outcome of drugs (aside from minor stuff, such as being the top powerlifting coach in the world), then hook me up with some vials.

[Sl300]

anyone got a vid of the meet?

[Mitsuomi]

i'm not trying to start anything. i just think its stupid to point out that the guy is on the juice. we all know it takes a lot more than drugs to get anywhere close to an 1850 total. plus, the guy is 63yrs old. if i'm still even able to lift at 63 i'll most likely be on something. everyone here knows you must do what it takes to get to the top. and louie knows that better than any of us.

he's admitted to juicing numerous times.

Well make sure to drink your milk and eat your veggies sonny.

1800 lb total in multi ply? Thats not very impressive when people close to 3k.

If this was multi ply only thing that was impressive is the deadlift, but Think remember seeing ivdeo of 70 year old man pulling 700lbs raw before.

I think his elitiest ideas of training are flawed and he hasn't produced any great lifters outside of multi ply where the rules are ridiculous and people get away with murder in terms of judging.

well when you're 63yrs old and coming back from an injury, i think its impressive among other lifters and people in general for such a man to be totaling close to 2k no matter if its raw, single-ply, multi-ply. maybe you're being the elitist here?

[Shaun_W]

Who cares if Louie is using PEDs? 670lb deadlift is a 670lb deadlift. The 'roids don't lift the weights for you. How about you guys congratulate an old veteran on an elite total?

[Arlecchino]

Next drug discussion post = two week ban.

Not going to bother cleaning up a thread, deleting, etc. Hammer first, clean later.


Sick of this. Been against the rules in this section for years.
