The Best of Harry Selkow

He’s jolly, clever, and always shoeless… And to many, he has become the funny, but oh-so-wise, Buddha/Yoda of all that is powerlifting. If you ever have a question (no matter what the subject), Harry has an answer—and usually a colorful one at that!

However, today is not just any other day for the king of barefootedness. Today is his birthday! (He won’t tell us exactly how old he is, but he usually describes himself as being around since the earth was created…)

To honor such a grand occasion, we are taking a look back at some of Harry’s most memorable contributions to elitefts™.

So take a moment to enjoy these proverbial Selkowisms, and make sure that you wish him a very Happy Birthday in the comments section below.

(By the way, these are best enjoyed while read barefoot).

If you are having trouble with leaning to far forward in your squat, Harry always recommends incorporating the box squat into your routine.

The Selkow Diet

It’s all about protein… and bacon. You can never go wrong with bacon.

Sorry... we couldn't resist digging into your birthday cake. We did leave some crumbs.
