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.

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: 10/20/Life Second Edition If you like Starting Strength or 5/3/1, you''re going to LOVE 10/20/Life! What is 10/20/Life? 10-and-20 weeks at a time, for a lifetime of positive momentum in training and in LIFE. This philosophy is a life-long approach for any level of lifter or athlete. Many recreational lifters utilize the protocols in this book to have a better plan in the gym, with no plans to ever compete. On the other hand, many competitive lifters from Beginner to Pro use this approach with great success! 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. (this all depends on where you are in your phase of training) Just a few of the sizable additions to this "second edition" physical copy: * New chapter "Deload" * New chapter "Establishing a baseline" * New chapter "Speed work" Other updated features include: * A reintroduction of the 10/20/Life philosophy and update with AMAZING testimonials - male and female, raw and equipped. * The 5 main principles of 10/20/Life * How do you gain a mental edge?
