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. In 2005 I opened Orlando Barbell – a 24 hour powerlifting friendly gym. As well as running Orlando Barbell I designed and sell the
Home GHR and
Doorway Home Gym, wrote the
12 Weeks to a Bigger Bench EBook, and produced the
12Weeks to a Bigger Bench DVD. My latest contribution was writing the
M2 Method EBook, designed to be the quintessential Raw Powerlifting training manual for beginners to advanced lifters looking to get stronger and prevent injury while incorporating the powerlifts. I'm currently in off season training and plan to compete in the single ply division in the APF Gulf Coast Winter Bash on December 5th. Standard warm up: 5 mins. Treadmill Prehab PVC rolled on: Lower back, shifted to right and left Upper back, shifted to right and left scapula w/hips up Armpits Hamstrings Glutes Adductors Shoulder Dislocations w/broomstick x12x3 1 Leg Band Hip Stretch x30 secs x3 Squats w/Buffalo Bar- 145x5 235x3 325x2 w/Metal single ply King Squatter, straps down- 415x1 w/Reverse Average Bands- 505x1 w/Metal all black knee wraps- 555x3 595x3 [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBubIzpAxnA] Everyone did well today. We’re all staying on track with the off season M2 percentages based off of 90% of our projected meet maxes for now. Trinity and I headed to the Special Olympics Southeast meet in Atlanta last weekend to help out and to coach my athlete CJ. I’ll get a full meet report on that as soon as I get some time.
