At Large Nutrition - Your number one choice for nutritional supplements.

Matt Smith ranks among the top 5 strongest superheavyweight powerlifters in the world. He is a very well rounded lifter with a best bench of well over 700 lbs, a best deadlift in the mid 800s, and a best squat of 1,141 lbs. Like so many others Matt’s first experience with the iron was a lifting program for his high school football team. He was just 15 years old but immediately had a great affinity for the weights. Upon graduation scholarships were offered for Matt to play college football but his love for lifting was greater than his love for the pigskin and he declined them.

Matt’s journey into the world of competitive powerlifting began in 1996. Within 3 years Matt was fortunate enough to begin his affiliation with Westside Barbell (www.westside-barbell.com) and its patriarch Louie Simmons. Prior to Westside, Matt’s best total was 1,818 lbs. Within 24 months of work with Louie and the gang Matt had brought his total up to a ponderous 2,445 lbs!

Below are just a few of Matt’s powerlifting accomplishments:

• IPA world record in the deadlift (850 lbs)
• 5th highest superheavyweight total of all –time (2,673 lbs)
• Was the first Westside lifter to break 2,400, 2,500, and 2,600 lbs totals.
• 2nd place 2005 WPO finals
• 3rd place 2006 WPO finals
• 1st place and best lifter at the 2006 APF Senior Nationals

Matt’s Thoughts on AtLarge’s Products:

I have never been a big fan of protein supplements in general. Most of them taste horrible and mix even worse! I was very pleasantly surprised the first time I tried both Nitrean and Opticen. I enjoyed the taste and they mixed without any of the clumping I had grown to hate.

In addition to Nitrean and Opticen I am using ETS (Extreme Training Support) and Multi-Plus. ETS really improves my recovery (in all respects) and Multi-Plus assures I have plenty of the vitamins and minerals I need to support my efforts in the gym.

I truly could not be more pleased with the results I am getting from AtLarge’s products!
