4/15- Upper body assistance

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 either the APF Single Ply Nationals or the Olympia single ply meet next. 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 Reverse Grip BB Rows- 135x12 185x12 205x12 Fat Bar Shrugs (For Grip)- 185x10x3 Wide Grip Cable Pulldowns- 135x10 150x10 Lying Cable Curls w/Rope- 60x10 65x10 DB Hammer Curls w/Fat Gripz- 25x10x2 DB Forearm Rotation- External- 20x15x2 Internal- 30x15x2 I let Trinity pick the exercises since she was able to train with me today. This is always good for some variety. I can’t remember the last time I’ve done reverse grip free weight rows. Actually I don’t think I’ve ever done them at OBB.
