benefitting
the Makea-Wish
Foundation has become
an annual tradition
for Team elitefts. More
importantly I think it
defines who we are as a
Team, a company, and a
community. The primary aim for Team elitefts
is to Live, Learn, and
Pass On. We take this
very seriously. To be a
member of Team elitefts
you must certainly be
strong. But, that is just
the beginning. We care
more about the strong
person inside. The Make-a-Wish
Foundation is a cause
that is very important
to both Dave and Traci
Tate. It has also become
very important to all of
Team elitefts. It is our
chance to do something
great. Every year Dave
sends me the pictures
and thank you letters
from the children’s
whose lives this project
has touched. I cannot
even put into words how
much these touch my
heart.
I want to say thank
you for your support
from all of us on Team

joining us in our mission

TRAINING
PROGRAM O ne of my most favorite programs is the
one I have been doing pretty much my
entire lifting career.
Its very simple, and
requires a good work ethic. I have
always been a big fan of leaving
everything in the gym. It is pretty
much just progressive overload,
increasing the weight and dropping
the reps over a three month time
period leading up to your meet. It 5 Programs That Work 3 · 2013 has worked for me both as a raw and
equip lifter. Here is a summary of
what I have done. Month 1:
The first month, of three total(12
weeks) is all raw. Also there are no
“straight weight” sets. All main lifts
are done with either bands, chains,
or both. I was always more particular
to chains. This is completely a mental thing for me. I have always done better when I didn’t know the exact
weight on the bar, I just focused
on working as hard as I possibly
could. This first month is all triples.
Each week I would work up to my
absolutely heaviest triple. The next
week I would try to beat it, even if it
was only by 5lbs. Once I was done
I would follow with a heavy assistance lift. Usually for a set of 5 in the
first month, and straight weight. For
squats I preferred good mornings,
for deadlift it was rack pulls, and for elitefts.com PROGRAMS THAT WORK 3 VOL. 2 bench it was floor presses. I would then follow up with two more light weight, volume related lifts. Month 2:
I am now back to straight weight for my main lifts. The second month is now doubles. I would work up to my heaviest
double, and try to beat it the following week. The assistance lifts stayed the same, except it moved down to the 3 rep
range for the 1st assistance lift. If I was raw I simply just stayed raw. If I was training for an equip meet I would ease into
the gear. Either just briefs, or straps down if no briefs. I wanted to get as strong as possible with as little help from gear as
possible. Around the 6-8 week mark I would throw the suit on over my briefs but still straps down. If no briefs I would still
stay straps down. *Bench is different though. In month 2 I would do full range triples in my shirt, no boards. I would stay in my shirt as
many weeks as I could until it started to have a negative effect. For me, I struggle in bench shirts, so I need more time in
my shirt than most people. The 2-3 week mark is about as long as I can stay in my shirt consecutively. Month 3 (4 weeks from meet):
Now all the gut busting work, and strength building has been done. These last 4 weeks are spent dialing in your gear and
working with singles. I put my straps up and try to figure out what my opening attempts will be. I try to be done squatting
and deadlifting at the 10 week marking, leaving to full weeks to recover. I will usually hit my bench opener around the
7-10 days out mark. By this time, the 8 week mark most of my assistance work is gone. *It’s a very simple program, pretty much just progressive overload. I increase the weight and decrease the reps the closer
I get to the meet. Its very easy, and very effective for beginners to intermediate lifters. Marshall Johnson is 29 years old and lives in Monticello, Minn. His wife, Kathy Johnson, holds multiple national and world
records in powerlifting. Since both of their lives revolve around the sport, there’s an amazing bond between them. Marshall started powerlifting about three years ago, although he started as a bodybuilder. He competed in two shows, both at
183 pounds, placing second at one. Although Marshall is completely saturated by powerlifting, he would like to some day
wear his stage panties again. Marshall competes in the 275/308 pound weight classes. His best competition lifts are a 1052
squat, 705 bench, and an 810-pound deadlift. His goals in powerlifting and elitefts™ are to motivate and inspire lifters never
to forget or give up on their dreams. By the time his powerlifting career is over, Marshall would like to be ranked as the top
275-pound powerlifter in the world. He believes if he trains smart and stays healthy for another ten years or so, this is a
very good possibility.

ATHLETE
A comprehensive program designed to increase athletic
performance and decrease the potential for injury. I ’d like to thank Coach Watts
and Dave Tate for allowing
me the honor and privilege
of contributing to such a
noble and worthwhile cause.
A belief in one’s self can be
inspired by the simplest act and the
Make-A-Wish foundation has found
a way to make a profound difference
in the lives of so many.
To “Be An Athlete” does not
simply mean one merely plays a 7 Programs That Work 3 · 2013 sport. Just as the title of Coach is
earned, so is the title of Athlete. An
athlete prepares mentally as well
as physically each and every day,
honing their skills so that they may
have that one moment of glory.
An athlete grows to appreciate the
grind...the daily blood, sweat and
unrelenting torture they go through.
Pushing themselves a little farther
each week, each day and with every
repetition, because deep down they
know “Every Rep Counts”. As is the case with any program, it is all relative. That is to say
that everything should be taken into
account and considered in a comprehensive and systematic manner
based on the needs of each individual athlete and their specific goals.
The following program is an example
of what I use for my athletes. elitefts.com PROGRAMS THAT WORK 3 VOL. 2 WEEK 1
