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
The OBB Power Handles and the
Doorway Home Gym, wrote 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. 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 Raw SSBar High Box (low box+hard foam pad)- 155x5 245x5 295x5 335x5 My strength still seems to steadily be increasing and I don’t even feel the hernia surgery area anymore.

I have to admit the stress of the uncertainty of the news can be worse than when the storm actually hits. The worst part about these storms is often losing power. You never realize how much you appreciate having AC until it’s gone. If you live in Florida, stay safe everyone.
