3/22- Single Ply Bench, 10 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

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been experiencing some joint swelling due to my UC and some subsequent issues with the prednisone I was taking, so I decided to take the rest of the week off. I hope to be back to whatever my normal is on Monday. I only have nine weeks left to get things in order to compete at the APF Nationals and a long way to go.
