Here are Kayla, Jon, Andrew, me and Trinity at Wekiva Island which we consider one of the hidden gems of Central Florida.

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 The Minimalist/M2 Raw Training Method and the The M2 Equipped Training Ebook
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.

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 OBB Power Handles, the Doorway Home Gym, and wrote the 12 Weeks to a Bigger Bench EBook.

My latest contributions were 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 and The M2 Equipped Training Ebook, the only ebook designed specifically for equipped lifters.

No, they didn’t die. Sadly Kayla, Jon, and Andrew moved back to Indiana. Although it was only last month, this training session seems like it was a lifetime ago. I have to admit that owning a gym in a transient town where students often come and go does make life a little disheartening. As I said before, I realize nothing lasts forever, but I hope that their experiences here will provide memories that will last a lifetime. Thankfully April and Stephen have made their way back in to OBB. Here’s April doing her own thing as usual squatting an easy 285 for reps then 335 for a then 335 for a double in wraps, oh wait! There’s Stephen too!
