4/29- Bench stability, accessory work and Oom Doe, 5 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

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. 5 Weeks out from the APF Equipped Nationals. Martial arts for an hour in the early afternoon for low impact cardio and mobility work. On Thursday I tested and moved up another belt level for the second time in just 4 months. It feels good to have a sense of accomplishment in something other than just Powerlifting. At Oom Yung Doe they gradually darken the belt instead of changing colors which they consider an “Americanized” tradition. So I've now moved into the 2nd section. Since Oom Yung Doe is the combination of 8 different martial arts it’s a lot of memorization primarily focusing on Kung Fu and Tai Chi. It’s definitely increased my mobility and is something I feel like I could continue to do to improve my health for the rest of my life. 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 Shoulder dislocations w/broomstick x12x3 1 leg band hip stretch x30 secs x3/leg External Shoulder Rotation w/Shoulder Horn- x10x12x3 Flat Bench- 95x5 135x5 155+25 lb KBs suspended by mini bands quadded x5x4 Slight Decline DB Bench- 75x10 80x10 90x8 Lying Rope Tricep Extensions- 60x12x3
