About the Expert Nathan DeMetz is a long time “average guy” type of bodybuilder, power lifter, and mixed martial artist. He power lifts and practices kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu. He does this not because he wants to compete but because he loves it. As Mr. DeMetz would say “it is his greatest hobby”. He has been a lifter since 2002 at the age of 22 . He is also a second year martial artist and has a few years of untrained “brawling” under his belt. Nathan is now about to turn 32 and he will tell you that he is in the best shape of his life and that he owes it all the his commitment to lifting and staying fit. He has an intense desire to succeed. Nathan is not a competitive athlete but he has competed in some local bench press contests and even competed in the “20 and Hot” bodybuilding contest held by Champion Nutrition. He competed six times and placed in the top 10 three times. He won the bench press contest of the former equipment retailer New Home Fitness and placed third in the bench contest held by Ritchie’s Fitness, formerly Atlas Fitness. Nathan has also competed in some non-sanctioned bare-knuckle fights but those days are behind him. His gym owner has approached him about entering the 2012 March Madness contest hosted by Vitamin Giant. Nathan is considering it. In the gym Nathan boasts some impressive lifts. He has lifted at different weights throughout the years. His most impressive lifts come from when he weighed 205 lbs. At this weight he bench pressed 350 lbs , dead lifted 535 lbs, and squatted 500 lbs. He is currently 185 lbs boasting a 350 lb bench press, 495 lb dead lift , and a 445 lb squat. Nathan is strong in a host of other lifts as well Nathan is loosely described as natural lifter. He does not use synthetic substances such as steroid, pro-hormones, synthetic testosterone boosters, or anything similar. He does use various supplements that are herb or plant based and uses extra vitamins and minerals. He believes hard work will get you where you need to be. He believes in a holistic approach to the health of the mind and body. For this reason he does not refer to himself as Power lifter or martial artist but instead refers to himself as an athlete. He feels this better reflects his true goals and the way that he trains. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ATTENTION POWERLIFTER ENTHUSIASTS:If you want to start powerlifting, but don't know where to start, this is the book for you!When you buy this book you'll learn. - The problem with most programs- The solution to get the biggest bang for your buck- An introduction to the three main lifts: Squat, Bench, and Deadlift- The critical benefits of Powerlifting Below is an excerpt:For many people, training is hard. Maybe you've never set foot in a gym before. Maybe you work a nine to five job. Or maybe you're a parent. Or maybe you're a college student. The point is, you probably don't have a lot of free time to fit in a workout. Without knowing how to best use their time, many people end up using exercise protocols that provide little to no results. They want to get stronger and fitter, but they spend the majority of their time on cardio machines or doing exercises for muscles in isolation, rather than compound movements--which could help your overall issues such as posture and strength. After a few weeks of no progress, they wind up feeling worse than they did when they started. As a result they lose motivation and end up quitting. Don't fall into the same cycle.The fact is, if you're a beginner you do not need fancy movements or workouts that take up hours of your time. What you need is to focus on the basics and master them. You can get extremely strong by just doing this. The three most effective movements for building strength, building muscle, and optimizing health are the bench, squat, and deadlift. These primary movements are the foundation of any good program, as well as the focus of the sport of powerlifting. Powerlifting focuses upon the increase of strength in the body but also in the mind. In this book you'll learn to: -Improve your posture-Get stronger -Move better-Feel better-Build muscle-Lose fat-Develop better habits-Increase focus-Boost confidenceBut don't take our word for it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book of magic secrets. Instead, it’s a book that boils away the nonsense, leaving you with the mechanisms that truly drive gains. This book presents my core training philosophies and principles, and the Rep Goal System. Future books will build off these principles, and show you many other workout programs and systems that will help you to build muscle and strength. Never waste a set. That is what this book is about. My lifting philosophy is simple: When you maximize every set, you maximize every workout. When you maximize every workout, you maximize progress. It doesn't get any easier than that, does it? Nothing complicated about this approach, yet it’s not exactly something you hear talked about in the lifting industry every day.
Download or read book Strongman written by Tom Thurston and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tom Thurston has written the first biography of one of Canada's athletic legends, Doug Hepburn. Born in Vancouver with a club foot and a severe alternating squint, Doug decided as a boy to surmount his disabilities by training with weights, setting his sights on becoming the world's strongest man. And this he achieved. Doug is now known as the grandfather of modern "power weightlifting." Doug was World Weightlifting Champion in Stockholm in 1953, and he won the gold medal in the British Empire Games in Vancouver in 1954. Joe Weider and others claimed that Doug may have been the strongest man in history. But there was much more to Doug than his weightlifting. He went on to become an eloquent advocate for drug-free sport, and he made a reputation as an inventor. As a singer, he became well-known for his own compositions. Radio stations still play the Hepburn Carol each Christmas. For those interested in building a super-strong body that will last well into old age, Doug's complete, drug-free training secrets are revealed in a way that are easy to understand and employ. For those looking for the inspiration to tackle some of their own goals, Doug Hepburn presents a fine role model. For all Doug's successes as a strongman, his life was filled with much sadness, many setbacks and even, at times, poverty. Thurston's biography does justice to all aspects of Doug's life, illuminating the fortitude with which he met his many challenges. A truly splendid biography with many black and white photographs.
