| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Life podcast, and if you are a regular listener, welcome back. |
| 0:05.8 | This is your host, Zach Evanish, and in this episode, episode 556, I'm going on a little |
| 0:12.7 | throwback to a series of video podcasts I did with my great friends over at Play. |
| 0:19.4 | You can visit Play at p.L-A-E.us, |
| 0:24.4 | flooring, strength training equipment, squat racks, and just awesome people. |
| 0:29.8 | Well, a while back, they helped me, and my buddy, Ron McKeephyry, |
| 0:35.0 | they helped me create a video series called Iron Roots, |
| 0:38.2 | which was a inside look into all the iron history, books, magazines, and just the information |
| 0:46.2 | I've got in the Underground Strength Library at my home office. And this episode, this was the 15th |
| 0:53.3 | episode of Iron Roots. We've got more than 15, so just go to |
| 0:57.2 | Zach Evanesh and type in Iron Roots. You'll come across all the episodes. You want to see the |
| 1:02.6 | videos, not just listen because we have visuals in those videos. So this episode is with Bill |
| 1:09.3 | Peanuts West. He is the founder of the original |
| 1:12.6 | West Side Barbell, which started out of his garage in Culver City, California. And that's |
| 1:18.7 | where Louis Simmons learned his training methods from, because these articles were in magazines |
| 1:24.2 | Muscle Builder in Power from, I believe, 1968 through 1972. |
| 1:30.3 | Amazing history, amazing training methods that were around before I was born. |
| 1:35.5 | So they're 50 plus years old. |
| 1:38.1 | And they still rival, if not surpass, much of the training information today. |
| 1:45.0 | So give this one to listen as we talk about getting inside power rack training. |
| 1:51.2 | Amazing information going to inspire you with different and innovative ways to get stronger. |
| 1:57.6 | Now, if you're new here, get on the Strong Life newsletter. |
