The Iron Samurai is the official biography of Louie Simmons and the true story behind Westside Barbell in Columbus Ohio.
This book is an unfiltered lens behind the curtain of Westside Barbell. It starts from Louie's childhood and he brings you on the journey he took that lead to the creation of Westside Barbell Columbus Ohio.
It is jammed back with insanely strong people and personalities, provides accurate historical events, and best of all, It is 100%, unedited, Louie Simmons.
Louie Simmons is one of only four men to have made Elite totals in five weight classes and was top 10 from 1971 to 2005. Louie has authored nine books, 15 DVDs, more than 250 articles as well as being a current lecturer and he holds 13 United States patents. This is the Iron Samurai’s first and only book.
This book is like drinking the history of Westside Barbell directly from the Louie tap. It's raw, meandering, stream-of-consciousness from the legend himself. Absolutely loved it.
