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 to 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 EBookand produced the 12 Weeks to to a Bigger Bench DVD.
My latest contribution was writing the Minimalist Method ebook, designed to be the quintessential Raw Powerlifting training manual for beginners to advanced lifters looking to get stronger while incorporating the powerlifts.
I'm currently in off season training and plan to compete in the Olympia single ply meet next.
