4/6- Raw Cambered Bar Squats w/video

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

Squatting without the box after using it for a while is always rough. I need to incorporate more full squats, or at least reverse band, from now. Thanks to my trusty training partner Isaac Sullender, Anthony Liardo, and Jesse McGrath for the help. Belt Squats- 90x10 140x10 180x8

Trying out our new belt squat machine thanks to our valued member Jeff Faber! We don’t have a lot of any extra money to get new equipment, so having members who can weld and make equipment as well as Jeff is great. The belt squat he made is tough, but it works great. The belt squat is one of the best exercises for any athlete or lifter looking to overload their legs while reducing stress on their shoulders and lower back. I’m still trying to catch up on my log. Embedding the videos from IG, rather than emailing them to myself to make a video to post on youtube should make things a lot easier.
