1.....RICKEY DALE says.....
good day to all of you out there in iron land.............well we started this newsletter in september of 1998.....so we are into our 4th year now...... year................it hardly seems like it but 'tis true.........we were sending out to about 1200 subscribers...then came the virus....but now after this disaster last summer we are back up over 1300 plus so....everyone seems to be now interested in it.......and it continues to grow......let your friends know of it and tell them to give us a shout to subscribe.....we are looking for new articles...pics and any other info you all might like......i pull no punches and all the advice and/or info i give is backed up by an unconditional guarantee or your money back (and since it is free...draw your own conclusions).....
seriously.....it is here to help you improve your speed...strength and performance in whatever sport you are in .........explosive power is the name of the game......so on to what you receive this newsletter for.......
2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA.....TRIVIA and STUPID QUESTION OF THE WEEK........
and the answer to last week's trivia question is chuckie dunbar.....!!!!!.....and the winners are joe sheerin of harleysville, pennsylvania.....mike butler of longview, texas......and a tie for third...they poped up at the same time........mr john inzer of longview, texas....(i told john he has to wear it)...and don graham of zanesville.........way to go guys......
and this week's trivia question is another tough one....?????.....
who was the powerlifter that continued to train even if there were no weights around, by leg pressing cargo trailers, deadlifting jeeps and doing pushups with big guys on his back. This has lead this person to break hundreds of records in powerlifting and in other sports. Other accomplishments are lifting a 582 LB stone (at that time he broke a 77 year old record), running a mile in 4:19 (4:58 in combat boots), 85 pushups in one minute, 54 sit-ups in 45 seconds, bowled a 287 and 702 series, and he has hitch-hiked across the country to compete in national meets.
3.....FORM.....STYLE.....TECHNIQUE.....and ROUTINES.....
we till have a few...very few, of the powerlifting video magazines left...and then that will be it...10.00 while they still last.....
******************************
here is the deadlift routine i promised a few weeks back....it is designed primarily for the sumo lifter....
the routine was written 20 years ago...but needs to be updated in the area of the warmups.....
so......warmups should be as follows....
145 x 10
145 x 5
245 x 3
245 x 1
etc...(warmups as needed)
then three heavy singles
then the reps.....
if you have any questions...e-mail me......
4.....NUTRITION and SUPPLEMENTS.....you are what you eat.....
well...we have a new product.........not really new but an old product in a convenient form.......
CREATINE POWER TABS-112 COUNT-(28 SERVINGS).......REGULAR 29.95 INTRODUCTORY OFFER 12.50 each serving is 5mg...take right before your workout.......just chew them up like a sweet tart.....very convenient......
it seems lifters in general are coming back to their senses a bit and have quit running off to the nearest gnc or other health food store and spending ridiculous amounts of money on products they do not need........or that do not work............at least if you are bent on spending the money...buy some products that will work....ones that have stood the test of time.....
remember........the very first thing to spend your hard earned cash on is a high potency vitamin and mineral supplement........ and some extra vitamin c............
next is the extra protein source........high calorie...medium protein for the skinny high school kid.........high protein and low carb/low fat for most and the ones who want to gain......and if you want no weight gain or to actually cut weight or just want to get more solid (and stronger).....go the amino acid route..(like me)....
this is a rehash of previous posts...but needs to be gone over again every few months for the new readers and the stubborn ones who refuse to follow sound nutritional advice.....
next would be creatine and then glutamine........followed by a number of different types of herbs for us older lifters.........
STILL RUNNING A SPECIAL ON OAT BARS AT .75 EACH.........5 FLAVORS.......COME AND GET THEM....

5.....PARTING THOUGHTS.....
i will admit...this week's newsletter was a bit shallow on substance..we all have our moments......i try to give you all something you can take and put to use......no matter what the size or what the info....hope it still holds true even when abbreviated.......my apologies to all who have found my website a bit of a mess...transition can take time.......my new web-person is making great strides to improve it......but as large as it is, it cannot be done overnite...be patient..it will only get better......
many..many meets are on the horizon...........if you are not lifting at one...go to one and help out...the meet promoter......a lifter....or just spectate and yell for everyone....a quick sidenote....many people say powerlifting meets are too long........i personally enjoy them.......i had a phone call from someone whose daughter is a gymnast........ and one of her comments was gymnastic meets are too long and too boring.......after relaying that this was the same message we hear in powerlifting, we talked how golf and bowling was even longer and more boring......work your sport to improve it.....each sport should not cater to any other group of people.....it is your sport with it's own idiosyncracies (sp?)....forget the criticism and go judge or help out...that will do more good than anything else i know ......and if you choose not to do any of these things you absolutely have no right to gripe or criticize....................
BACK TO THE GRINDSTONE.....see you all next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
