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.

From The Author, Brian Carroll: "With 10/20/Life, my objective is to teach you to get the results you want by coaching yourself-the same way a superior coach would take you through an individualized program in a great gym. We start out with a thorough examination of your weak points because that''s how quality coaching works. The idea is to show you what to program, and when, based on your weaknesses in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. This sounds simple, but it''s something most people don''t even consider, much less put into practice. From there, the 10/20/Life system takes you through the best injury-preventative warm-up in the industry, followed by a comprehensive layout of coaching cues for each individual lift. From start to finish, you''ll learn what to look for and what to do, and you''ll learn the reasoning behind all of it. By the time you''re finished working your way through these materials, you''ll be able to coach yourself, and others, like a pro." Learn to be your own coach, attack your weaknesses and utilize a proven philosophy that is a guide to permanent success. This book includes a comprehensive WEAK POINT CHART and WARM-UP INDEX that teach you how to assess your own training and PRESCRIBE THE EXERCISES YOU NEED. 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH AND TRIALS distilled into a program you can actually use! The plan is an easy five-step process: 1. Choose your schedule. (3 different) 2. Determine your weak points in the main lifts. (use the coaching guide to correct form) 3. Use the Weak Point and Assistance Exercise indexes to custom design your own program. (pick your assistance work as specified in the Weak Point index) 4. Follow the warm-up protocol listed. (4 parts, super easy and custom) 5. Determine your level of readiness, then train according to the system''s RPE plan for that day or if you''re in precontest, you go off of percentages.

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.

The author, a retired scientist, has been lifting weights for 60 years. He began his powerlifting career at age 48 and competed at the national and international level for 25 years. During his life, he has competed in eight different organized sports.

These are probably the most detailed instructions on optimal lifting technique available anywhere. In addition, the author provides detailed instruction on the mental approach to training, nutrition, injury management, plus training plans and a full chapter on how to prepare for and compete in a powerlifting meet.

Download or read book Squat Every Day written by Matt Perryman and published by Myosynthesis Books. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What readers are saying... "Anyone serious about strength needs to read this book." "A MUST READ!" If you're interested in more lean muscle, the biggest squat of your life, and unbreakable mental toughness even outside of the gym... but you're always frustrated by the 'same old' advice that never seems to move you ahead... you'll want to keep reading. The title is no lie. Yes, you really can squat every day. No, it won't "put you on the train to Snap City". But first, beware: This isn't your average "how to lift weights" book. There's no cookie-cutter programs that look just like the programs in every other exercise book you've bought before. What you'll find inside are little-known strategies used by the world's top weightlifters and strongmen to blow past world records. And they do it by ignoring everything you've ever been told about how your body responds to weight training. Even the experts who hate it in public secretly admire and follow the advice inside Squat Every Day. Inside, you'll discover: * The lies you've been told about recovery. Learn why your body won't fall apart if you put it under pressure (and what key ingredient you leave out of your training if you don't push it hard enough) * Why your mindset and mental attitude are more important than any workout you do. (If you've ever wondered why you aren't making progress, you might be shocked at how important this is... but hardly anybody talks about it in detail.) * The difference between beginners and advanced strength athletes that nobody wants to talk about (and it's NOT illegal performance enhancing chemicals) * The real story behind the insane workouts of the Bulgarian weightlifting team and how you can make them work for you... even if you've got a full-time job and a life outside the gym. * The one variable that almost nobody keeps track of... and why it might be the most important part of your workout (Hint: It has nothing to do with how many sets and reps you do or even how much weight is on the bar). If you're looking for the magic pill, I'll be blunt: You should give this book a pass. I'd rather you not read it if you are impatient, uncooperative, and unteachable. If you don't have the right attitude, this isn't for you. But if you're willing to learn... and you're ready to make the jump to the next level... what's in this book can have you setting PRs in as little as a few days. If you're ready to join the thousands of men and women who have made the best gains of their life, grab your copy right now.
