1.....RICKEY
DALE says.....
my goodness!!!.......i think my e-mail
box was going to bust open from all the mail i received on
the gore forward and on the supplement info.............had
about 100 e-mails thanking me and agreeing with me and only
a handful against it...but at least everyone was civil and
that is what opinion and debate is about........i thought it
prudent to mention some of the things most important to us
as weightlifters/powerlifters/etc.......things that affect
us now or might in the future.......i can take the
heat......i am very staunch when it comes to my
beliefs........but i am always open to change...if you can
convince me.....really convince me otherwise.........please
do so.......but how can you as lifters who consume
supplements to further your traininng and recovery not think
it important to vote for someone who will let you continue
to do as you have......not someone who wants to be your
"nanny"...'nuff said.......
now on to other
matters of iron.......or as one reader out there put
it......politicians might lie.....but the iron don't
lie......
IMPORTANT NOTICE..................in order
to speed up the newsletter when we send pictures, i am
changing to an html format.......please check and see if you
can receive this format...if you cannot let me know and will
send your newsletter seperately........it will allow you to
load pictures faster when you receive your newsletter..if
you cannot receive this format (some servers can't as well
as some off the wall servers)....it will come out as a bunch
of gibbersih/numbers/letters/etc.....thanks....
try
"the POWER FORUM" at http://members.boardhost.com/powerforum/
..........talk
to others and have your say..........
2.....POWERLIFTING
PARAPHERNALIA AND TRIVIA.....
and the winning answer
is "inside powerlifting" by terry todd.........we
had many...many correct answers...but i picked the first two
we got back........and they were katie ford of cedar creek,
texas........aaron pete of san francisco, california.......
this
week's trivia question is..........what middleweights
(165lb'ers) have both deadlifted and squatted 700 lbs.......
some
new books on the scene to help with nutrition is "the
metabolic diet" by dr dipasquale..............this is a
must......read the truth and quit relying on muscle
magazines and infomercials for your nutrition
info........also "supertraining" and "facts
and fallacies of fitness" both by dr siff.....all of
them entertaining.....interesting and full of info.......you
guys read the muscle and fiction mags...written by who knows
what and who as well as the supplement companies.........now
read realistic info by research doctors and
athletes.......who have no financial gain in what they
write.....
3.....POWERLIFTING ROUTINES AND INFO.....
some
extra type of exercises you can perform along with your
lifting to help with increasing your speed and explosive
power are:
one day a week do sprints....10-15 40
yeard dashes.........
one day a week do tire pulls
(pulling a big tire hooked to a chain hooked to your
weightlifitng belt)...and overstrides down a 15-30 degree
hill (20 -30 yards long).....
one-two days a week do some
plyometrics (many of these available or make up your own)
jumps......
just adding some of these at the end of
each workout 3-4 days a week will make your power and speed
much more noticeable
4.....NUTRITION AND
SUPPLEMENTS.....you are what you eat.....
some things
refuse to sink in.................quit blowing your hard
earned money on all of the baloney out there
guys..........stick to the basics...but make sure those are
covered.......
still have some worldwide sports
drinks available at cost....which is real
cheap........glycerol products...weight gain...fat
burners......etc..........
we also still have some
unbelievers who think RDA requirements that are set up to
keep individuals from getting scurvy or beri beri or to keep
individuals at a minimum in nutritional needs......are
enough to fuel a high powered athlete in heavy trianing.......PLEASE
RE-READ THE BELOW EXCERPT FROM A NOVEMBER 1999
NEWSLETTER.......TO HELP CLARIFY.......
Exercise without
supplementation is suicide, these are the words of Dr. Joel
D. Wallach. And how true they are. EXERCISE WITHOUT COMPLETE
AND OPTIMAL SUPPLEMENTATION IS SELF DESTRUCTIVE, and
suicide. Farmers and ranchers very systematically put in
vitamins, minerals and trace minerals in animal feeds to
prevent and cure disease and illnesses. They learned that
all working and producing animals, (all the way from the cow
to the race horse), need additional nutrients above and
beyond subsistence and maintenance levels. The same goes,
and more so with humans. In many studies done we find an
increase in the frequency and severity of sports injuries,
behavioral problems, degenerative diseases, and even death
in athletes because of this neglect. unsupplemented
high-output athletes are more susceptible to emotional,
traumatic, and degenerative diseases than the classic couch
potatoe (or is that potato?). Certainly the average weekend
athlete with common sense would not throw their life away by
not supplementing with the known 103 essential nutrients
each day (72 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 essential amino acids
and 3 essential fatty acids). Certainly then, the highly
conditioned and trained serious athlete who invests
considerable amount of time and money in their training and
fitness programs would not throw their health or lives away
by not supplementing. Yet the majority of people who
exercise do not supplement because they have bought into the
medical dogma that if "you eat right, you do not need
to supplement, you can get everything you need from the four
food groups". Or if you supplement "it only gives
you expensive urine". Our farm and range soils are so
depleted as a result of 100 to 200 years of intensive
farming without appropriate mineral replacement. Why is it
they cannot seem to make the connection that the food on
their plate is anemic in nutrients. Two and two still equals
four, so be smart as an athlete and supplement. Not only
will it enhance your performance but it could save your
life.

5.....PARTING
THOUGHTS.....
a parting thought and a
question...........i receive numerous e-mails requesting
info.......routines....and other misc. questions.......i
answer each one...not always to the persons
satisfaction...but at least they get a personal
answer.........many times a long answer is not possible
because of time restraints.......but as i said at least i do
take the time to answer............then we have the same
people who get mad...upset...etc...when i take their e-mail
address and put them on my newsletter list......i assume
since they are so interested in info this would be easier on
me and them in getting information faster..............i do
not sell the e-mail addresses to anyone as i know how it is
to get lot's of junk e-mail...and do not want to put anyone
else through that.......but to be blunt...if you want info
from ME ...and free at that......you will be put on my
e-mail list for the newsletter.........you can ask to be
removed and i will do it....but be considerate...nothing is
actually free......i spend many hours a day answering e-mail
and letters...my business has to provide the time and place
for this to be done.......and that costs money......so we
all take the good with the bad....
WELL WE ARE NOW
SENDING THIS NEWSLETTER TO 750 PEOPLE IN ABOUT 20 COUNTRIES
AND IN ALL 50 STATES.......THANKS FOR THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
YOU ALL.....
