awesome!
Good stuff USAPL and Blaine
Nice, looking forward to more of these.

this guy is awesome but i could never drink that chicken shake on a regular basis^^
A good video. I will be tuning in for the rest. I especially liked the advise he gave to younger lifters. Sound and solid, just like Blaine seems to be.

Please give my YouTube channel a look I am a young powerlifter
Earned a new fan today. Was great to hear you’re a completions engineer. I do similar work. Good luck in your training.
This video is amazing, thanks USA Powerlifting & of course Blaine Sumner

Is there a series with Ray Williams?
Interesting video… though at the end you have a clip which is repeated 15:57 upto 17:28 is looped again at 17:29 with the line ‘Advice I could give a Younger Lifter just starting out’.

You work a 12 hour day and then do a 4 hour workout? Wow, hats off to you, man that is intense. I tried working a 14 hour day job once, only lasted three days, too much for me. Plus the chicken shake, I get it but I would never drink it. Did you come up with that?I can’t imagine having to eat that much protein. Great video, thanks.
why.you.dont cook white eggs?
I don’t know how he can balance a stressful job and being the top ranked SHW powerlifter in the world. And he’s natural??
I am going to the high school he’s when to and playing on the Lobos
There is still a pic of him on the wall in the hall way
Are there other episodes?
