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
Home GHR, the
OBB Power Handles, the
Doorway Home Gym, and wrote the
12 Weeks to a Bigger Bench EBook. My latest contributions were 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 and
The M2 Equipped Training Ebook, the only ebook designed specifically for equipped lifters. 10 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 Decline w/Swiss Bar- (both flat benches were being used and this gave us some good variety anyway)- 95x10 135x10 185x8 205x6 Blast Strap Push Ups- BWx12x3 Upside Down KB Shoulder Press- 25x10x3 If you've never tried these they're a great option to incorporate your rotator cuffs for stability while pressing. They're also surprisingly difficult. Sadly I wasn’t able to handle the 25s lately due to the strength loss from my autoimmune issues so I was happy with this. Post disease diagnoses PR! Haha, I’m jk. I’m not going to start with that. Incline DB Tate Presses- 35x10 40x10 45x8 Single Light Band Pressdowns x12x3
