_________________________________________________________________

1.....RICKEY DALE says.....

thanks again for all the pics and ideas to put into this newsletter.........you make it......doing it
weekly takes time and i always seem to be out of ideas........so keep them coming........we are still
experimenting with this new format......have heard mostly good reports......have had a few
negatives....but all of these have come from people who are using netscape or web-tv (????)
so we will leave it for the time being.........

2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA and TRIVIA.....

CHECK THIS OUT BELOW.......WE HAVE FINALLY LOCATED A WRAP ROLLER THAT "REALLY...REALLY" WORKS....in the 23 years i have ben in business we have tried so many of these
contraptions but none ever would work like they were supposed to ....this one
does so we are selling it now..........and it is indeed portable........check out the
intorductory price for the next month....if you have any questions...call or e-mail me...


and the winning answer is bob morris of bob's belts...we had a bunch of people
get this one....but the first three were..........vince anello of middleburg heights,
ohio.... jason "deepsquatter" (but i have less hair than rickey dale crain) burnell
of hercules, california (which is next to pinole, ca-where i spent my
elementary school days)......and phil andrews of ramona, california.....

and this weeks trivia question is...............WHO WAS THE OWNER/COACH OF THE
GROUP OF POWERLIFTER'S KNOWN AS "THE WILD BUNCH"

3.....FORM.....STYLE.....TECHNIQUE.....and ROUTINES.....

i have had as late...numerous people inquire as to used equipment and gear...we do have
lots of it at times.....so if you are interested...forward your needs to me and save some bucks........

in training for beginners one must use a little common sense.........the main exercises .....
the squat...the bench press and the deadlift are good basics to start anyone on; simply because
they work more muscle groups than about any other 3 lifts..........they stimulate
muscle growth and help to burn bodyfat easier than any other exercises...it is amazing
to see a beginner walk in the gym...pick up a 10 lb dumbell and start doing curls........
not sure why or what they think that will accomplish but???????????...i gently (well
sometimes gently).. steer them towards the bench or toward the squat rack........they may not
like it but i gently (well sometimes gently) point out that they joined to get results and this was
the best way to do it.........keep this in mind as you train younger kids...and older adults as well
as any first timers............low weight....higher reps......work on form....and explain why they are
doing what they are doing........it will help teach them to start to learn about writing up their own
routines...........the studs you can take under wing and make them workout with you
and make them so sore they will listen better the next time........always fun to watch a 20 year hot dog the
day after doing 5 sets of 5 in the squats...walking like he has had ??????? ....well you get the
point///////

working out is a lifetime pasttime.........i started when i was just a few years old and will continue
to do it til the lord comes for me..........and will continue to hit a contest or two along the way........
but it is always fun to see what your proteges' can do......also....


4.....NUTRITION and SUPPLEMENTS.....you are what you eat.....

i still have some protein bars we are closing out at below cost..come and
get them you guys.....

the older you get the better you were.......but also the fatter you get or i should say the easier it
is to get fat.......

diet is important in anybody's training regiment but becomes even more important the older
you get............one's metabolism slows down the older you get.........and the old adage
"i can gain weight just by smelling food" seems to come to life.............work on 4-5 smaller
meals a day instead of the 2-3 bigger ones......lean meats like chicken and turkey and fish and
eggs are great...fresh fruits and vegetables and no fruit juices or soft drinks....simple but
effective .........add in your vitamins and minerals and other supplements...herbs...etc..and you
are on your way....you can pick that one day a week to splurge and no harm will be done..........
remember diet is important.........no matter what the age......but when you get to be 50-60-70
....do you want to look and feel like it????....NOT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.....PARTING THOUGHTS.....

WELL.....time to shut this off........we are back up to about 700 names we
are sending this too...still about 500 short than before the virus incident......

and for me...time to do a few deadlifts and get ready to go do some fishing
tomorrow....
