I owe a lot to the sport of powerlifting. Now it’s about giving back in more ways than on the platform.

Single-ply, multi-ply, 20 different kinds of raw — what is the right way for you to compete?

Participating coaches include; Swede Burns, Clint Darden, Julia Ladewski, Brandon Smitley, Joe Schillero, Ken Skip Hill, Zach Gallmann, Matt Ladewski, Shane Church, David Allen, Casey Williams, Dani Overcash, David Kirschen, Sheri Whethem, Ken Whethem.

The best come together for a weekend to educate each other on business, strength training, rehab, and nutrition. My head is still spinning.

What does it take to crank your training intensity? Team elitefts goes all Siskel & Ebert on that.

The impact a father has on his child can only be surpassed by the impact the child has on the father.

The job doesn't come with a guidebook, but you can learn from the experiences of Team elitefts!

I wanted to wrap up this LTT write up with the second day of the seminar. While I can’t say for sure how the attendees feel, this is always my favorite part of the weekend.

This time around, I was actually able to listen to the speakers without being dragged into the dungeon of doom (aka: the elitefts2 basement) for interviews.

My LTT experience usually begins on Thursday— a little earlier than everyone else. During the last LTT in May, I worked with a dozen youth athletes doing some speed training work, and I was invited to do so again this time.

This is the tale of the best weekend of my existence! I went to the Learn To Train seminar at the Elitefts.com compound. We met some of the best minds and people in lifting, training and in life!
