1.....RICKEY DALE says.....
just a quick note to say hi...i am back........hope everyone got through the holidays fine..........also wanted to say to those who are aware of the injury of whit baskin..........he is still in quite serious condition..........his brother e-mailed me wanting to spread the word that everyone who receives this newsletter to say a prayer for whit and that he will recover...he is in a hospitial in the okc area.....it has been 12 days now..........
so remember whit as you read this and on into the new year.....

2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA AND TRIVIA.....
no winners...the answer is "muscle games" by dittmar..............this is the first time i have stumped anyone???????....
a new trivia question to think about over the weekend and on into the new year....
who was the first national chairman of powerlifting in 1970????............
3.....POWERLIFTING ROUTINES AND INFO.....
..... NO ROUTINES THIS WEEK.... BUT....want to say a few things about warmup sets.........most people pretty much ignore them or start too heavy with them....... an empty bar is just as important as the sets with max weights........in warming up ...start with the bar and and work on form and technique...and speed........loosening up gradually.........do a few light warmup sets....this is to get the feel of the bar..........how many times do you see a high school kid who only benches 185 start right in with 135 lb on his first warmup set...5 years later he still benches 185.........speed and form is accomplished with little or no weight....so your body gets into the groove of what to do when it gets to the heavy or heavier stuff...... we are not trying to impress anyone but ourselves...remember
