^^^^^ This....
Never has anyone in strength training shared so much knowledge, with so many, expecting so little in return. His early articles in Powerlifting USA were groundbreaking. And you didn't need to be a powerlifter, to know what you were reading was cutting edge. Louie had a way of distilling complex topics, simplifying them into an easily understood explanation.
A nice pie in the face to the "steroids will kill you" crowd too. By his own account, he had been taking steroids beginning in January 1970 (this, in an interview with Joe Rogan in 2016). Even if we shave 4 years off to account for his last year in powerlifting (2012), he had been "on" for 42 years - straight. His philosophy on such was as follows, "get on a low to moderate dose of something that works, and stay on it". Something to be learned there, IMO..
He totaled elite in 5 different weight classes, an incredible accomplishment. But it was his knowledge of training and how freely he shared it that defined him, IMO. I ordered "The Westside System" (Manual and 4 VHS tapes then, LOL), and to this day it was one of my best eductional purchases. You could watch the tapes 10x and still pull things of value out that you had missed. The man was a walking encyclopedia of strength training.
He demanded greatness from himself and everyone around him, living life on his own terms - never waivering. A great example IMO, of how to live.
RIP Louie...
