Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw', then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC).
Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff.
Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back.
After years of back pain and failed therapy, Brian met with world-renowned back specialist Prof McGill in 2013, which changed his trajectory more than he could have imagined. In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
Brian's impressive recovery has allowed him to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches, and experts from all facets of sport on how to minimize injury risk while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes. Brian has worked with and consulted athletes and coaches in the UFC, NFL, NBA, and NHL. He also works with Army and Navy Special Forces. He has played a crucial part in dozens of records broken in powerlifting, whether coaching, diet, supplementation help, or weight-cutting tactics.
Brian is also an accomplished author, writing the best-selling strength training book 10/20/Life and Cutting weight before Gift of Injury. He runs the website PowerRackStrength.com, where he shares training and recovery content, personal training logs, and blogs.
His articles are published in multiple magazine publications, including Men's Health, Power, Powerlifting USA, Ironman, Muscle & Fitness, and Flex, and Medical Journals such as the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies.
Brian was recently named 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 the higher ranking total (242 done in 2016) accomplished post-back injury. Brian was named the #2 lifter of the 2010s, most recently, only ranking behind the immortal Dave Hoff. Most recently, Brian retired in 2020 after setting the world record in squatting with 1306, being the first person to cross the 1300 squat barrier.

Switching to 10/20/Life: Sitting down with Cody and Tom from Kratos Barbell Part 1
During Arnold weekend in 2024, I had the privilege of sitting with Cody, Tom (and Jacob, seen in the second part of the video) from Kratos Barbell in Tifton, Georgia. We had a great conversation about Life, powerlifting, and transitioning from a conjugate training style to 10/20/Life. #backpain #powerlifting #arnoldclassic

In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
Brian's impressive recovery has allowed him to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches, and experts from all facets of sport on how to minimize injury risk while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes. Brian has worked with and consulted athletes and coaches in the UFC, NFL, NBA, and NHL. He also works with Army and Navy Special Forces. He has played a crucial part in dozens of records broken in powerlifting, whether coaching, diet, supplementation help, or weight-cutting tactics.
Brian is also an accomplished author, writing the best-selling strength training book 10/20/Life and Cutting weight before Gift of Injury. He runs the website PowerRackStrength.com, where he shares training and recovery content, personal training logs, and blogs.
His articles are published in multiple magazine publications, including Men's Health, Power, Powerlifting USA, Ironman, Muscle & Fitness, and Flex, and Medical Journals such as the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies.
Brian was recently named 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 the higher ranking total (242 done in 2016) accomplished post-back injury. Brian was named the #2 lifter of the 2010s, most recently, only ranking behind the immortal Dave Hoff. Most recently, Brian retired in 2020 after setting the world record in squatting with 1306, being the first person to cross the 1300 squat barrier.

When should you let it go? Q&A with Professor Stuart McGill part 4
Working with athletes can be challenging. Fighters, lifters, and special forces soldiers sometimes find it difficult to slow down. When do you let go and let them do what they want, even if it's not the best choice for them? As discussed in Gift of Injury, I had to learn the hard way. I had to fail, and I rushed it. Luckily, I learned from a failure that helped take me to the next level of training.

Ultimate back fitness and performance: https://shop.powerrackstrength.com/products/ultimate-back-fitness-and-performance-by-dr-suart-mcgill-6th-edition
Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw', then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC).
Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff.
Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back.

Magic treatment hands for BACK PAIN? Is YANKING/pulling on the body effective?
In this NEW Part 3, I ask Professor McGill about manipulations, magic hands, and different types of hacks or snag workarounds for back pain and when appropriate. He shares his experiences with manipulation and the good and the bad he's seen. With my background in massage therapy, I ask Prof McGill when he needs someone with manual therapy skills to step in for back pain. Also, how does he feel about aggressive yanking /pulling adjustments for the back.

Brian is a retired world-class powerlifter with over two decades of world-class powerlifting. From 1999 to 2020, Brian Carroll was a competitive powerlifter, one of the most accomplished lifters in the sport's history. Brian started off competing in bench press competitions 'raw', then, shortly into the journey, he gravitated toward equipped lifting as there were no "raw" categories then. You only had to choose from single-ply (USPF) and Multi-ply (APF/WPC).
Brian went on to total 2730 at 275 and 2651 at 242 with more than ten times his body weight in three different classes (220, 242, 275), and both bench pressed and deadlifted over 800 pounds in two other weight classes. He's totaled 2600 over 20 times in 2 different weight classes in his career. With 60 squats of 1000lbs or more officially, this is the most in powerlifting history, regardless of weight class or federation, by anyone not named David Hoff.
Brian realized many ups and downs during his 20+ years competing. After ten years of high-level powerlifting competition and an all-time World Record squat at 220 with 1030, in 2009, Brian was competing for a Police academy scholarship. On a hot and humid July morning, Brian, hurdling over a barricade at 275lbs, landed on, fell, and hurt his back.
After years of back pain and failed therapy, Brian met with world-renowned back specialist Prof McGill in 2013, which changed his trajectory more than he could have imagined. In 2017, Brian Carroll and Prof McGill authored the best-selling book about Brian's triumphant comeback to powerlifting in Gift of Injury. Most recently (10.3.20) -Brian set the highest squat of all time (regardless of weight class) with 1306 lbs – being the first man to break the 1300lb squat barrier at a bodyweight of 303 lbs.
Brian's impressive recovery has allowed him to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches, and experts from all facets of sport on how to minimize injury risk while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes. Brian has worked with and consulted athletes and coaches in the UFC, NFL, NBA, and NHL. He also works with Army and Navy Special Forces. He has played a crucial part in dozens of records broken in powerlifting, whether coaching, diet, supplementation help, or weight-cutting tactics.
Brian is also an accomplished author, writing the best-selling strength training book 10/20/Life and Cutting weight before Gift of Injury. He runs the website PowerRackStrength.com, where he shares training and recovery content, personal training logs, and blogs.

His articles are published in multiple magazine publications, including Men's Health, Power, Powerlifting USA, Ironman, Muscle & Fitness, and Flex, and Medical Journals such as the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies.
Brian was recently named 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 the higher ranking total (242 done in 2016) accomplished post-back injury. Brian was named the #2 lifter of the 2010s, most recently, only ranking behind the immortal Dave Hoff. Most recently, Brian retired in 2020 after setting the World Record in the squat with 1306, being the first person to cross the 1300 squat barrier.
Brian's mission now post powerlifting retirement after 20 years competing is to help as many people as possible avoid the same mistakes he made with treating his injury and give hope to those who don't have any once they find out that the medical system is set up to treat them, not cure them. Brian is here to bridge the gap with real-world reality and experience only someone who destroyed their back and rose back to the top can understand. Brian has empathy for the back-injured person, as he's lived it.
