3.....POWERLIFTING ROUTINES AND INFO.....
abs...abs and more abs...........seems like a 6 pak is the in thing........which i think is great.......strong abs equals protection in every walk of life.........protection for all those heavy squats and deadlifts....protection for the football player...protection for the lower back....whatever type of ab workout you do....always include a couple of times a week some weighted stomach work..to not only build looks but build strength.....IT WILL ENHANCE YOUR SQUAT AND DEADLIFT FOR SURE.........so remember you cannot do to much for the stomach...and looking 'buff ain't bad either..........
below is an very inspirational picture.........it is a picture of gerald nichtern's wife of saint thomas, virgin islands, age 62 doing 700lbs for 8 reps on the leg press....she also squats 210 lbs and deadlifts 200 lbs.........training only1-2 times a week......
4.....NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS.....you are what you eat.....
a quick commercial (gotta pay the bills somehow).......have some close outs on some supplements...call to get the info on them.......and i still cannot believe some of you are not using supplements or you are using some that are about what your grandmother needs to get around........get with the program guys........you get so much from them for so little in cost...especially the basics....the benefit is not measurable in costs when you are talking about a couple of bucks a day....
and check out the incredible supplement specials at
www.crainsmuscleworld.com/supplements.asp
5.....PARTING THOUGHTS.....
here is some of our powerlifting gang here at crain's muscle world....i think we are all under 23 or over 40??????????....oh well...........
well........(my favorite intellectual saying)......time to close on another chapter...... i always welcome feedback; both negative and positive...........
i have had quite a few people ask for workouts.....then get ticked off because i did not spend time writing one out for them,,,,,to put is bluntly........you pay for what you get.........we have plenty of videos......and reading material to keep you in the learning mode for a long time...........you never can learn too much.........I always try to help as much as i can within reason...but i don have the time to go in depth all the time........sorry......i get 100-200 e-mails a day..and i do my best to answer each...maybe not as in depth as you wish but they do get answered....
remember if you want to put a workout in ...just e-mail it to me and we will attach it to a weekly newsletter......
gotta run...
