Author: We are currently working to bring Chris Taylor to Roanoke, VA for a Bench Press Seminar.
Chris is an Elite powerlifter and 800+lb bench presser. Chris has benched 750lbs@242 in a full powerlifting meet (August 2008), as well as recently hitting 805lbs@275 in a bench only contest. Chris trained under the guidance of Dr. Ken Leistner at Iron Island Gym, and currently still trains in Long Island, NY with a group of STRONG lifters. Chris continues to set PRs in both the 242 and 275lb class in not only the bench press, but also in the squat, having recently done a 905 squat at 242. Chris is also a certified Physical Therapist Assistant with an in depth background about injury healing and prevention
If you are interested in attending the seminar, please contact me at 540-520-1382 or info@elitessp.com for more information.
We will also be doing video of the events this day and selling for those that are too far away to be here in person!
Well, today I ventured into the realm of training a girl who was not looking to be a better athlete but rather looking to get in better overall shape and lose bodyfat. I am use to training athletes to be better at their sport, so this was a little different but in a good way. This trainee is actually my 20 year old sister Kim. She is planning a wedding in December so she has the same motivation most females get for those kind of events. Needless to say, I put her through the paces today and we shall see if she sticks with it or not. She definately enjoyed it and said it beat a workout at Golds gym any day of the week. Training with Elite SSP and Cold Steel Barbell in Roanoke, VA is no fancy chrome training facility and there is only THREE rules here;
1.) NO WHINING
2.) WORK YOUR BUTT OFF
3.) See RULE #1
