Elite lifters drive for hours each day to train at Louie Simmons' Westside Barbell—or, when they get tired of doing that, simply uproot their lives entirely and relocate to Columbus.

Vice Sports has just released a solid addition to the canon with their 10-minute documentary "Inside Westside Barbell, Powerlifting's Most Exclusive and Controversial Gym." It's drug-fixated to a slightly eye-rolling degree, but also packed with fascinating profiles of lifters—and of course, all those Westside machines and specialty bars we wish were in our own gyms, dammit.
