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, because we all have it.
Demonstrating the equipment I’ve designed to help benefit lifters such as yourself.

Leslie started training with me at Orlando Barbell in 2007 and continues to online. She competes in the 132 lb. class and her accomplishments include winning the 2010 USAPL Collegiate Nationals, she was Junior Champion at the 2011 NAPF Championships, 2011 USAPL Bench Press National Collegiate Champion, 2011 USAPL Sunshine State Games Best Female Lifter and, after taking a break from competing, last April she won the 2018 Raw World Meet with the 365 Strong Federation in North Carolina. Leslie is now a Pharmacist at the WJB Dorn VA Medical Center in Greenville, SC and is an animal rescue advocate.

Although my training is usually based off a gradually increasing ROM to reduce joint stress, chance of injury, and improve longevity, Leslie trains at a commercial gym so we’ve modified her training since she doesn’t have the option of using boxes for squats, boards for bench, or accommodating resistance with bands and chains. She’s limited to performing full ROM movements but is doing very well. We have her on a three week rotation where she performs full ROM for two weeks then uses reverse bands for one week with rotating accessory work each week.

Leslie is smart enough to rarely post on social media, but here’s a recent training video where she worked up to 315 for a double on squats with reverse light bands:
