5/7- Deadlifts off 2” Mats w/vids of me and some of the crew

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

April pulled 365 and 385 for doubles and Stephen easily pulled 475+80 lbs of chains for a double to make me look bad. It’s good for me though. I need the motivation.

Lat Saw Cable Rows- 135x10 150x10 165x10 Leg Press- 270x12x3 I’ve had a lot of stress lately which seems to be kicking in my UC symptoms again. This is providing the biggest obstacle to me putting weight, and thus strength, back on. It’s frustrating to say the least. I tend to stay lean, so when I gain weight my strength goes up with it. I just have to keep getting as many calories in as well as trying to manage my stress better. I swear I do more than deadlift, but my other training isn't as interesting to post and I'm still trying to get caught back up.
