Train with the methods of the strongest drug-tested powerlifter in modern history.

Blaine Sumner — known as the “Vanilla Gorilla” — is a multiple-time IPF World Champion and record-setter whose lifting career includes some of the most legendary feats in strength sport. He has set more open world records than almost any lifter in powerlifting history — including the heaviest equipped squat, bench press, and total in International Powerlifting Federation competition — and has recorded the highest Wilks score ever in IPF competition.

Blaine’s transformation from a skinny 140 lb freshman who couldn’t bench 135 lb into one of the strongest athletes on earth is proof that elite strength is built through consistency, smart programming, and hard work. He played college football as an All-American, set NFL Pro Day records (including 52 reps of 225 lbs on the bench press), and went on to dominate both raw and equipped powerlifting.
