Join Tom Barry and Burley Hawk as they explore the mindset, culture, and methods behind Westside’s Maximal Effort training. From Louie Simmons’ legendary principles to the chaos of group training that runs like a machine, this episode covers everything from exercise selection to the art of coaching and self-assessment. Learn why brutally strong athletes are built with smart intensity—not reckless effort.

Key Points:

  • Understanding Louie Simmons’ training philosophy “optimally,” not just maximally.
  • Using real-time assessment to adjust training intensity and exercise choice.
  • Building gym culture through educated training partners and leadership.
  • The long-term view: why smart training beats ego lifting for career longevity.
