Here's video of his best lifts:


Matt has done a great job of forming a new equipped crew here at OBB. Matt has also followed my Minimalist/M2 Method to a T for years, including a deload two weeks out as well as taking the week of the meet off, which I feel is essential for recovery. Far too many lifers lift too close to the meet, thus diminishing their chances of doing well.  Matt has figured out how to properly peak for a meet very early on, saving himself from years of potential issues at meets.

Thanks to OBB supporters Nick Altensee, Randy Bertrand, Mike Torrance, Trinity, and Kayla Crawford. Thanks to Kenzie Rose for hosting the meet as well as all of the spotters, loaders and judges.
