3/10- Equipped Deadlifts w/video, 12 Weeks out from the APF Equipped Nationals

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

I’ve been wanting for him to widen his sumo stance to maximize his leverages for a long time. Today he finally gave it a shot. This is by far the best pulling position he’s ever been in. He gave Neal credit for it, but I’m happy he did it either way. We're going to make sure he keeps working on his hip mobility (we all need this) so that he can continue to get his hips closer to the bar. Once he gets in the ideal position he's going to add some serious weight to his pull. Stephen is back from his hiatus and will be back to where he was in no time. Neal has some big goals for the meet, but we have plenty of time to figure out where he’s at.
