Powerlifting The Complete Guide to Technique, Training, and Competition

This no-nonsense approach to training and competing in the sport offers over 100 exercises that promote the development of the three primary movements-the squat, bench press, and deadlift-and their related supplemental exercises. Dynamic warm-up routines and recovery techniques get you primed for training, making it a one-stop guide to powerlifting success. The second edition has been updated to address female powerlifters and includes a 14-week competition program, six gender- and exercise-specific training programs, as well as three 8-week off-season training programs. Precompetition checklists give you at-a-glance guides for tasks to complete and items to bring to the meet.
