Every success that has been obtained by anyone at West Alabama Barbell was largely in part to the philosophies and methods developed by this man. Even the name of our club is inspired by this man. Even though I never met Mr. Simmons, the impact he’s had on me and my business is profound. I have the deepest respect for him. On behalf of everyone at West Alabama Barbell, we offer our most earnest sympathies for Mr. Simmons family and the crew .

I found out over the weekend that my good friend and mentor, Chris Lentini, was inducted into the 2022 Alabama Powerlifting Hall of Fame. I’m so very happy for him and this accomplishment. USPA Alabama Powerlifting & United States Powerlifting Association (USPA), or hell, the sport of powerlifting could not have a better representative than Chris. He has devoted himself to this craft, and has excelled at it. I have seen him go out of his way to mentor, to coach, or to just lend a hand to a new lifter at their first meet so many times. It speaks to the character of who the man is. To honor my good friend, I offered tribute with a gift of effort using only EccoArms equipment Chris fabricated for me. It is the only fitting way to honor a champion. Again, congratulations brother. This HOF induction is hard earned and well deserved.

Fun fact: The first time I met Chris was at the 2018 Drug-Tested National Championship in Charleston, WV. He stayed in our hotel room during that trip. Our very first conversation wasn’t even about powerlifting. It was about Ninja Turtles. 😁
