If you are anything like I was when I first started strength training and focusing on the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift, you will have answered "YES" to a few of those questions or perhaps all of them.

However, you must not feel bad about it because their are many other lifters and athletes out there who are experiencing similar problems with their lifting.


I’ve also been a 7 time WPC World Powerlifting Champion and a 2 time WPO Champion. During my career I have also held the all-time Powerlifting Total Record, the all-time Squat record, the British Bench Press record and have of course Deadlifted over 1000lbs not once, but twice.

However, things were not always this way for me and I started out my strength training career like everybody else…

I really didn’t know anything about strength training… my Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift technique were awful and I was often over-trained and/or was suffering with injuries, aches and pains. In fact, despite recently Bench Pressing 342.5kg in a powerlifting competition – I struggled to Bench 65kg when I first started training…

Not very impressive for a guy weighing 110kg (I was naturally a pretty big dude but unfortunately this didn’t mean I naturally had a big Bench Press).

What I am glad to tell you is that I did not settle for knowing nothing about training and have spent the past 20 years reading, researching and figuring out what really works in the field of "getting strong".

And with this knowledge I have built my Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift to the numbers I previously told you about and I routinely help my clients hit life-time Personal bests… even if they had been stuck at the same numbers for months prior to…
