Power lifting training can skyrocket a man's strength, health and confidence. This book is for the mature athlete or fitness enthusiast who wants to experience the huge benefits of power training. Competing is optional. For mature athletes, there are always some risks associated with lifting big iron. Great gains are possible if an athlete follows the training smart system in this book. Training smart involves three distinct things: mastering the athletic skills needed in power lifting doing sport specific conditioning; and mastering proper lifting technique. Here is a preview of what you'll learn...The history and basics of power lifting The competition lifts The squat The bench press The dead lift The program and a sample training cycle Frequent program questions The power lifting meet Much, much more! If you do not have the equipment or the time to do a two a day split with power lifting in the morning and kettle bell in the evening, this manual is not for you. This is a grueling eight week program that I only recommend doing once per year, no more. Prepare to be sore, prepare to eat more, prepare to be tired, and prepare to get really strong!
