About Us

Sakke – Sakari Selkäinaho

47 years, Saarijärvi, Finland

Sakari has competed in powerlifting on the national championship level since 1980 and on international championships since 1983. Before that he did some weightlifting, boxing and soccer.

Having won over 30 national and almost 20 international medals in five federations he has the experience to help you on all your goals in strength training.

I have tried every training system I have ever found. Bulgarian system, russian routines and even western overloading system which I gave up useless in 1993. I have been using bands since 1996 and training with kettlebells from 1999.

I have been in every area of strength training. Designing programs, developing equipment, rehabilitating from injuries, testing equipment or new techniques ad methods in training.

My next goal is get Louie Simmons new manuals out and publish some of my own too.

Sakari has written 4 books about training. They´re all in Finnish:

Penkkipunnerruksen Voimapakkaus ( 1997 )
Westside Barbell – Voimaharjoittelumenetelmä ( 2001 )
Penkkipunnerrus ( 2007 )
Vetokumit ja Ketjut Voimaharjoittelussa, Manuaali+DVD ( 2008 )

Sakari has also done work with Louie Simmons and edited his already famous book Westside Barbell Book of Methods, Simmons ( 2008 ). The all new Westside Barbell Bench Press Manual ( august 2009 ) is next in line and I have some other products coming up with Louie.
