1.....RICKEY
DALE says.....
well shane did as he expected in the
olympics...........he placed 10th and broke two american
records...he is on record to say watch out for
2004............
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........
big
jamie harris is about to give another try at the big 800 lb
bench real soon.....will he make it...stay tuned and up to
date and we will let you know..
will quickly explain
one of the reasons i forwarded everyone a little sheet about
gore.......as a powerlifter....as a weightlifter as someone
who buys supplements...etc...it is very important who you
support and vote for.............what most of you do not
remember is that about 15-20 years ago the democrats in
congress with the fda people they appointed, tried to make
all vitamins and minerals...etc available by
prescription............thankfully it did not happen but
there is a push to do so again.....personal responsibility
and accountability should be in the forefront of every
athlete's mind..................i want control over what i
put in my body...not congress or the president..........or
especially a bureaucratic f.d.a.
this should concern
every athlete in this country.......this has nothing to do
with safety factors only factors of control (i think most of
the people in this country need to reread 1984 and see we
are way past that point.......
you make the choice
how you vote........but i want to retain control over what i
put into my body and keep it at a reasonable price....do you
want to pay 50.00-100.00 for some supplement you use to pay
10.00-20.00 for....if it comes under the control of the
f.d.a you will.........
i am taking no
chances.....when i forwarded the e-mail on gore..i received
about 100 or so favorable comments......about 10 comments on
what is the reason for this...and about 10 people who wanted
to have their name removed from the subscription list.....i
complied...thanking them for their interest and
concern.........politics has every thing to do with many of
things that involve us in our athletic ventures......be
aware........debate and adversarial combat is the american
way.........just do not go off crying about me sending you
an e-mail......be an athlete..stand for
something........every routine is not the best
routine...every type of form and style and technique is not
the best...every type of supplement is not for
everyone.......but if one is truly trying to be a champion
and become the best they can be...we trade info and go on
our way.....
..we do not go crying to someone about
how their equipment or routine is better..and that is
it......time to get off my soap box again....and talk
iron.............
try "the POWER FORUM" at http://members.boardhost.com/powerforum/
..........talk
to others and have your say..........
2.....POWERLIFTING
PARAPHERNALIA AND TRIVIA.....
finally some
winner.................the answer is PRECIOUS
MCKENZIE,,,,,,,,after the 1980 ipf world's in arlington,
texas...we had the privilege of listening to precious sing
in the night club at the motel........he was very
good...........and the winner is..........beau fay of falls
church, virginia...........
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........
and next week's trivia question is
.............who wrote the very first book on powerlifting
and who was in it??????
3.....POWERLIFTING ROUTINES
AND INFO.....
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 steer them towards the
bench or toward the squat rack........they may not like it
but i gently point out that they joined to get results and
this was the 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 past
time.........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.....
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????

5.....PARTING
THOUGHTS.....
WELL MY TEAM IS THE GIANTS....and i am
still putting my money on them to be in the world
series.........
a lot of big meets coming up all
around the world in the next 6 weeks or so,,,,,,,,,it will
be exciting to see what big lifts are accomplished and who
are all the new champions as well as who keeps
repeating.....everybody is welcome to send any pics and we
will put them in the newsletter....
later
