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

tragedy has hit the u.s.a. again.........nothing can be said to still the pain of those involved and affected by it......we can only pray and offer our support......... nothing else seems to matter at times like these......

2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA.....TRIVIA and STUPID QUESTION OF THE WEEK........

and the winning answer is pre-digested protein............and the winners are jules pellegrino of haledon, new jersey........an old time friend and workout partner from the 70's, bill mckelvey of rapid city, south dakota.......and walt mayer of oxford, mississippi.......way to go guys.......it was really nasty tasting stuff...but it was the most advanced product of the time.......i remember living off of the stuff to make weight .......

and this week's new trivia question is......?????.....a very easy one.........in music elvis is known as the king....who in powerlifting is known as the king???? we also still have a few sets of used dumbells for sale at a very good price.....

also///////////////..............from time to time i will have special offers for the one's who receive this newsletter..........so we will start with this internet special.......for the rest of the month we will give out a "free pair of genesis power wraps" ....a 19.95 value with the purchase of a genesis power suit or the purchase of a genesis deadlift suit.........the special is for members already on the subscription list and the order must be e-mailed to me directly........

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
