Starting and Progressing in Powerlifting


Book Description

This book is for the beginner to intermediate powerlifter, along with the person thinking about getting into the sport. It will present sound training, competition, dietary, and supplement advice. It will also help the reader to wade through the maze of federations, divisions, and supportive gear in powerlifting. Plus, it will detail some of the personal difficulties the writer has encountered in hope that doing so will help the reader to avoid the same problems. So this book is truly a compressive guide to powerlifting. The author has a degree in Nutrition Science and was a state and na-tional collegiate champion and record holder back in 1979-82. Starting in 2003, he began to compete again. He is currently a top-ranked master powerlifter, holding 39 records set in four different powerlifting federations. He is also the founder and director of Fitness for One and All, which is dedicated to helping people attain their heath, fitness, and per-formance goals, with an emphasis on powerlifting.




The Barbell Prescription


Book Description

The Barbell Prescription: Strength Training for Life After 40 directly addresses the most pervasive problem faced by aging humans: the loss of physical strength and all its associated problems - the loss of muscle mass, bone mineral loss and osteoporosis, hip fractures (a terminal event for many older people), loss of balance and coordination, diabetes, heart disease related to a sedentary lifestyle, and the loss of independence. The worst advice an older person ever gets is, Take it easy. Easy makes you soft, and soft makes you dead. The Barbell Prescription maps an escape from the usual fate of older adults: a logical, programmed approach to the hard work necessary to win at the extreme sport of Aging Well. Unlike all other books on the subject of exercise for seniors, The Barbell Prescription challenges the motivated Athlete of Aging with a no-nonsense training approach to strength and health - and demonstrates that everybody can become significantly stronger using the most effective tools ever developed for the job.

Massive Iron: The Rep Goal System


Book Description

This is not a book of magic secrets. Instead, it’s a book that boils away the nonsense, leaving you with the mechanisms that truly drive gains. This book presents my core training philosophies and principles, and the Rep Goal System. Future books will build off these principles, and show you many other workout programs and systems that will help you to build muscle and strength. Never waste a set. That is what this book is about. My lifting philosophy is simple: When you maximize every set, you maximize every workout. When you maximize every workout, you maximize progress. It doesn't get any easier than that, does it? Nothing complicated about this approach, yet it’s not exactly something you hear talked about in the lifting industry every day.
