Brian Carroll has been extremely busy the last few years. In fact, Brian is currently considered a ‘triple threat’ as a savvy, tried and true world-class lifter with 20-years of ‘work in the trenches,’ a heavily sought-after lifting coach, and more recently-a well-respected and requested author/speaker/advisor all over the world.
Brian has been busy putting pen to paper, sharing his knowledge and wisdom has written the wildly popular weight cutting manual: “Cutting Weight” in 2013, the original strength training guide 10/20/Life in 2014, and then followed with the robust and revised 10/20/Life Second edition in 2017. If that wasn’t enough, Brian recently upped the ante by unveiling his latest mega-project- the best-selling, game-changing book “Gift of Injury” co-authored by world-renowned spine expert Dr. Stuart McGill.
Brian was recently recognized as having two of the “top 20 greatest powerlifting performances of All-Time” with 2651lbs total at 242lbs and 2730lbs total at 275lbs, respectively. With 20 years in the sport, Brian is considered one of the best and most consistent lifters of all time with over 50 official squats over 1000lbs in competition, the most by any lifter in powerlifting history, regardless of bodyweight.
