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.

Welp, I still feel like crap, but did my best to get something in. This whole autoimmune body attacking itself BS is getting really annoying. I went from digestive issues to swollen joints, to complete fatigue. I just want to feel somewhat normal again. I’ve modified my diet multiple times, tried numerous supplements and meds and the situation just isn’t improving, if anything it’s gotten worse. Like I said, bear with me, I’ll figure something out eventually. Appreciate what you have, it can always be worse. It also helps to remember that no matter how bad a situation is it will eventually pass. Everything changes.
