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

    • 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.

I have to admit that as I get older I look less and less forward to my birthday. I realize that we all age, but I don’t necessarily need an annual reminder. Either way, my training is still improving and I’m happy to have a full training crew to help again.

I thought this would be the closest sensation of flying like a bird and it was pretty close. It was an awesome experience that I would definitely do again, especially now that I know what I’m in for. I was surprised how quickly we started dropping once the ultra light released us, and I have to admit that I got a little queasy towards the end, but it’s not every day I experience something like this.
I’m not sure I’m ready to skydive, but I definitely recommend doing something that scares you a little every now and then. It reminds you that you’re alive.
