6/6- Raw Squats and 6/7- Upper Body Circuit

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

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. Martial arts for an hour in the early afternoon for low impact cardio and mobility work. A couple laps around the building for a 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 6/6- Raw High Box Squats Shoulder dislocations w/mini band x12x3 1 leg band hip stretch x30 secs x3/leg Raw High Box Squats w/Cambered Bar- 135x5 225x3 315x3 405x3 I decided to stick with the high box for a while to reduce the stress on my still partially torn hamstring. It held up fine, but I was having some more issues with my joint swelling which caused me enough discomfort to call it a day. I look forward to eventually not having to deal with this anymore. 6/7- Upper Body Circuit 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 Incline DB Presses- 45x12 55x12 65x12 Mid Grip Cable Rows- 135x12 150x12 165x12 Seated DB Lateral Raises- 20x12 25x12 30x12 Cable Face Pulls w/Spud Straps- 75x12 90x12 105x12 DB Hammer Curls- 35x12 40x12 Cable Pressdowns w/rope- 45x12 60x12 Although I kept everything light it felt good to get some work in after the meet. I plan to stick with some reps within the hypertrophy range for a while before training heavier again.
