Just wondering, has anybody here had the privilege of training at EliteFTS or West-side? or atleast been invited to train there?
Westside. Been there about five times, all you have to do us call Louie. His number is in PLUSA
Been to both. Trained at EFS this weekend.

Did you blow Wendler to be allowed in?
I trained at elite once, Every one there was really nice and helpful giving us tips helping with side spots. Got a chance to talk with Dave Tate and he took the time to give us tips after our lift. It was a really awesome experience.
Lifted at both. (Didnt lift at EFS’ current facility, S-4, lifted at their offices when tehy were on Main Street, I think, in 05)

Doesn’t everyone?
Senor Pegg,
That video with you and Wendler was hilarious. 1000lb attempt total. Routine mission in Afghanistan. Straps-ons. Gets me every time.

Never trained at either, but I have a funny story about EliteFTS.
I drove there on Thursday of last week to pick up a pair of knee wraps. I’ve never competed or worn any kind of wraps so I had no idea what I was doing. A very nice lady named Rhonda took me out to the warehouse and showed me around, but she didn’t know much about them either.
Right about then, Dave Tate walked in and so we asked his advice. This is the first time I’ve met Dave. Pretty neat experience. He asked me a few questions and then asked me if I could show him my squat form. I came straight from work so I’m wearing khaki pants. I say sure – and then he asks ‘You’re not gonna blow your pants out trying to squat are you?’. I say no, and proceed to squat for him.
Sure as shit, at the bottom of the motion I hear and feel the asshole of my pants rip.
He picks out a set of wraps and hands them to me, and says ‘No offense – but you need to work on sitting back more so you can use that big ass of yours’. I was pretty pumped that Dave said I had a big ass.
We went inside so she could ring me out and there I saw Jim Wendler just hanging out. I shook his hand and he asked me why I had to be so tall. I was pumped to meet Jim but I couldn’t think of anything to say so I opted to just keep my mouth shut instead of sounding dumb.
I left there with my knee wraps, some chalk and a few promo T-shirts. If you’re ever in the area of EliteFTS I’d suggest stopping by.
