1.....RICKEY DALE says.....
UGH, I ATE TOO MUCH. And I am sure most of you inhaled an overdose of carbs and fats, but to be fair you can always say you got plenty of protein too.
Today's newsletter will be brief as I am way behind because of Thanksgiving but will try to make it up to you next week. Remember this time of the year your metabolism slows down and we also make a habit of upping our sweets intake, so be careful so you don't have to go on a weight loss binge at the beginning of the new year.
Powerlifters, athletes and bodybuilders seem to be just as gullible sometimes as the general public in buying what is advertised in the magazines. Do not believe everything you hear, especially since most of it is written by the people selling the products. The basics are the best.
We will be embarking on a new century in about 1 month......so make big plans and set big goals as to what you would like to accomplish in it.....
. Beware of "everything" you read in print, even question my advice. Remember, I believe through the years with all my experiences, training partners and talking to all of the greats in powerlifting and other sports, I have narrowed it down to what I believe is the best training and nutritional regiment. As well as the proper form, style and technique. But I can always learn.

..........talk to others and have your say..........
2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA AND TRIVIA.....
and the winners of last weeks trivia question and the new proud owner of a crain's muscle world t-shirt are.............MITCH ARMENTROUT of grosse point, michigan........SAMMY MITCHELL of kennesaw, georgia.....and RICK FOWLER (new father and famous platform manager) of granite city, illinois........congrats guys...we had about 30 or 40 people guess it right but were just too late......i am going to have to get harder questions.......
and this week's trivia question is....... what is the name of the trivia book that came out in the 80's on bodybuilders...powerlifters and olympic lifters..and who was the author.....
also find an attachment of p j chovanec at the ipf junior world's proudly displaying his 1st place finish........
congrats to dale glenney on his first masters world win......no matter what the age it still means a whole lot...
congrats to derek wallace on his ipa submaster title and a submaster squat record of 640 lbs......
ALSO......we have the supertraining book by dr siff back in stock again..........and the dave draper book is something for everybody this christmas.......with lots of pics...stories and other goodies about some of the oldtime irongame people from the 60's and forward.......everyone should have a copy of this book in their library..........
3.....POWERLIFTING ROUTINES AND INFO.....
just a quick note......i see way too much lifting and specializing going on in younger (under 18) and older (40-50 and up) lifters....too much supplementary exercise being done.......if you are a powerlifter or an athlete you need to quit trying to train like a pro bodybuilder.......they are not the same...concentrate on the big three with some basic supplementary exercises..remember ...an arnold you are not trying to become.... and it is next to impossible in trying to train for bodybuilding and powerlifting (or strength training) at the same time.....something has to give...and if you insist on doing it...it will be you...
4.....NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTS.....you are what you eat.....
it is amazing to me how many athletes still do not even take a vitamin-mineral supplement or if they do, not a high potency vitamin-mineral supplement...... i look and participate on many forums...and most lifters in question or answer to what supplements are needed to enhance their training and performance rarely mention the vitamins and minerals....quit spending all your money on the latest fad......and concentrate on the basics..(now where have i heard that before).....aminos and protein are the next item to be concerned with..... i guess about every other letter on this subject will be the norm...until it starts sinking in...... i am always curious how they expect to make the gains they want and have their body operate at an optimum level when they are constantly depleted of the much needed nutrients which act as a catalyst in their system.... get smart...... and check out the incredible supplement specials at www.crainsmuscleworld.com/supplements.asp
