Donnie Thompson, or Super D, is a retired powerlifter turned physical therapist. He now owns his own gym, and trains athletes using powerlifting techniques to get them ready for any sport they play.

And Super D should know better than anyone. After six years playing football, he turned his hand to powerlifting, and was the first human to ever total 3,000lbs! Super D has eight all-time world records in professional powerlifting, including three bench press records, two squat records, and three total records. His 3,000lb powerlifting total still stands today.

Super D now specializes helping other athletes be strong and mobile, and to prevent or recover from injury. Here are four videos to help you do just that.
