Whether you're a competitive powerlifter or an athlete who needs strength and explosive power for sports, Powerlifting has everything you need to develop a program incorporating the three powerlifts:
• Squat
• Bench press
• Deadlift
Photos clearly illustrating the phases of each lift are accompanied by detailed descriptions emphasizing correct technique-the key to maximizing your gains and avoiding injury.
Strength expert and powerlifting competitor Barney Groves shows how to combine the lifts into a program according to your training goals. Sample programs are included for men and women in six different weight categories. And expert powerlifters share tips that you can use to boost your own program.
