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 , the
The OBB Power Handles and the
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. Prowler Pushes- 90 lbs x 50 yds x4 Shoulder Dislocations w/broomstick x12x3 1 arm door stretch x 30 secs x3 Around the world w/35 lb plate x12x3 in both directions 1 leg band hip stretch x30 secs x3/leg Band around back hips stretch x30 secs x3 Split squats w/back foot on bench holding a 25 lb kb x12/leg x3 As I mentioned, I’m working on increasing my cardio and mobility so I’ll be doing this or something similar twice a week. I may throw in some extra work as well which I’ll get into later.
