I have been competitively powerlifting for over 20 years. Within that time I have competed raw, single ply and multi ply. I hold the highest all time total of 1930 at 148, the third highest total of 2045 at 165 and have broken over 35 world records, over 25 of which I still hold. Through the years in this sport I have learned a great deal from various training methods, met and formed long lasting friends, as well as learned the importance of balancing life, work, and training. Elitefts accepted me as a team member over ten years ago and I am currently the longest standing still competing powerlifter on the site. I appreciate Dave Tate and Elitefts for giving me the opportunity to learn from and teach others through the Q&A and my training log.

It's tough to squat when I often have a hard time walking right now. I make a trip back to the GI doc tomorrow to see if he can find a med other than the Humira to treat it. This situation is growing increasingly frustrating. Cybex Ab Crunches- 140x15 150x15 160x15 Cybex Curls- 50x12 60x12 70x12
