Who am I
Who am I
My name is Jim Sheffield. I have spent the majority of my life involved in strength training and competition. I was the first Master Powerlifter to bench press over 800 lbs. and currently hold the UPA Master 2 world record with an 804.7 lbs. I helped design some of the bench shirts that have helped to revolutionize the bench press.
I have studied strength training physiology and strength training methods relentlessly having trained with professional body builders, strongmen, and powerlifters as well as coaching powerlifters, Special Olympians, track and field athletes and professional football players.
I now bring you the BCT Fitness Method to increase strength and fitness as well as reducing overuse injuries.

Testimonials
If you want your Bench Press to increase then you have got to get the Bench Demon 8. It really is amazing! Thank Big Jim. I love the Demon.
I had total knee replacement in August 2023 and asked Jim if he could train me and rehab my knee with resistance bands. The experience was amazing for me. My knee gained more strength in two weeks of resistance bands than the entirety of a month of physical therapy.
From that point Jim expanded my training with resistance bands and the results were hard to believe. I would sit in a chair doing resistance band exercises under Jim’s guidance focusing on time under tension and you literally will hit muscle fibers you didn’t know existed. I would stand up and be sopping wet from sweat.
I will never stop using resistance bands. Done properly you will be thrilled at the results and previous joint pain due to age, injury etc…becomes non existent. There is not one muscle group resistance bands can’t improve plus you find ones you didn’t know you had.
Jim is a savant with these resistance bands and once you get an understanding of time under tension you will welcome the change. I would encourage anyone to reach out to Jim for assistance. Jim is quite humble, but if you look at some of his past power lifting videos you will understand quickly he was a beast that broke several power lifting records. He knows what works and what doesn’t.
