I hope you all had a safe and Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holiday! Here’s the best we could do at getting a picture of the Schwab doghouse with the timer on my iphone. Pema and Icarus eventually gave up so we really only got Tank and Atticus in the picture. I have no idea how people are able to get their dogs to face the camera/phone for pics.
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 and 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.
I'm currently in off season training and plan to compete in the single ply division in the APF Gulf Coast Winter Bash on December 5th.

Christmas Eve is my mom’s birthday so we headed to Season’s 52 for dinner. Happy Birthday again Mom! Yes, their portions are small, but I had Chilean Sea Bass which is some of the best fish I’ve ever had.
