4/23- Raw Reverse Band Deadlifts w/videos of my training partner, Isaac, and I

My hope is that my coaching log will help you by:

• Showing the benefits of high intensity/low volume training that I’ve followed injury free for over 20 years which has developed into the
  
  The Minimalist/M2 Raw Training Method and the
  
  The M2 Equipped Training Ebook
• Teaching through the experiences of my training partners and I.
• Helping to show how to overcome adversity, regardless of what it may be.
• Demonstrating the equipment I’ve designed to help benefit lifters such as yourself.

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 trying to put more effort into working on my hip mobility since I feel like I’ve never been able to open up my hips to get into the ideal sumo position. It seems to be helping, but I still have a long way to go. Congratulations to my training partner Isaac Sullender for pulling a huge PR of 505! (his best prior to this is 485). Pulling over 500 is a big accomplishment. Isaac has been training consistently for years, but has made rapid improvements while following my Minimalist/M2 Method. He said he feels like it’s structured like Ed Coan’s training combined with Paul Anderson’s use of exercises with varying ranges of motion.
