It all began with Bryan buying a used monolift from elitefts. One thing led to another and nearing ten years, he’s still on the team as an athlete.

Check out how some of your favorite lifters did this past weekend at Great Lakes Raw, IPA Buckeye Brawl, and APF Raw Power Challenge.

I moved back to northeastern Ohio and started training with a new group to prepare for the 2019 XPCs. For the last couple of years, I’ve only done the 21-Deadlift Salute. This year, though, I decided to come back and do the full meet, and here are the final results.

Saturday of the 2019 Arnold Sports Festival means one thing, and one thing only — the XPC Worlds! Fine, that's not entirely true...

Four of Team elitefts' athletes are headed to the Arnold, three of them will be competing in the XPC Worlds, and one such athlete is Bryan Doberdruk, who competed in the XPC Worlds' 21 Deadlift Salute event for the last two years. But this year, he's doing more than the deadlift...

Despite pre-competition nerves, Doberdruk walks away with the title and PR for the second year in a row at the XPC 21 Deadlift Salute (lightweight division). Check out his results.

Columbus Ohio is the place to be March 1-4. Here’s the running itinerary for elitefts competitors and coaches.

Make some noise Columbus!

Bryan is preparing for the XPC 21 Deadlift Salute (deadlift-only meet) on the main stage at the Arnold. From now till March his training log will reflect his deadlift prep.

With a limited time frame and many issues to fix for these three lifters, I had to target their specific weaknesses with training adjustments. This is how we did it.

The beginning of XPC preparation proved how much I stood to learn from Dave, Matt Smith, and the other weekend regulars.

With only four weeks to go, our athletes are getting serious (and animated) in the S4 Compound.
