Safe Isn’t Strong: The Westside Exercises That Built 1000lb Squats

Most “safe” exercises keep you comfy. The problem? Comfort rarely makes you brutally strong. Louis Simmons (Westside Barbell) used to tell me: things that are safe often aren’t great for strength. In this video I walk through the Westside “special exercises” that helped build world-class squats, benches, and deadlifts, including some nasty but effective variations like Zerchers, suspended good mornings, reverse bands, chains, boards, and overload work. We’re talking about training your back, bracing, positioning, and the ugly ranges that show up when the weights get real. Done the right way, these movements can build strength where it actually matters. ➢SHOP NOW: https://withinyoubrand.com/ ➢SHOP NOW: https://markbellslingshot.com FOLLOW Mark Bell ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marksmellybell ➢ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarkBellSuperTraining ➢ Twitter: https://twitter.com/marksmellybell ➢ Tik Tok: marksmellybell FOLLOW Nsima Inyang ➢ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/NsimaInyang ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nsimainyang/?hl=en ➢ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nsimayinyang?lang=en FOLLOW Sling Shot: ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mbslingshot ➢ Tik Tok: mbslingshot FOLLOW Super Training Gym on social: ➢ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesupertraininggym Created and produced by Mark Bell - Sling Shot Media.
