Hey, its Andy Bolton here and Id like to start off by saying congratulations forgetting yourself a copy of my Supersize Your Strength 16 week trainingprogram.
I wrote this training program to help you get stronger and if you follow it as its laid out thats exactly what you can expect To get STRONGER.A lot stronger.
These days there are a million and one ways to train and you and I can findmany of them by searching the internet. The trouble is most lifters are changing programs more often than they change they underwear and this kindof inconsistency leads to nothing but mediocrity.
The truth is that the bodybuilding magazines sold us all a massive lie when they said that we need constant change in order to progress. Sure, some change is required but consistency is way more important.
If you look at most of the really strong guys out there, theres one thing they all have in common consistency.
The Westside guys train the Westside way.
The Sheiko guys train the Sheiko way.
The John Broz guys train that way.
And the best lifters stick to one system and learn it inside out. They do not change from one system to another on a 4 weekly basis (as the bodybuilding magazines would have you do).
What you will find in the Supersize Your Strength training program is 16 weeks of training that will get you stronger. How do I know it will get you stronger?
Simple its the same way Ive trained, my training partners have trained andthe way I train my clients. Sure, Ive tweaked things over time but theprinciples remain the same.
Supercharge Your Strength To give you an idea of the results this kind of training have produced, take a look at this:
Ive squatted 1214lbs, benched 755lbs and deadlifted 1008lbs to date (andtheres more to come in the future).
At one point I was training with 7 guys who all deadlifted over 300kg and not one of them weighed over 110kg. Needless to say, they all followed my system.
Another of my training partners, Brian Reynolds - benched 235kg RAW at 110kg bodyweight on his way to winning the IPF Worlds as a junior.
I think you get the idea if you want a totally results driven, completely provensystem to build your squat, bench and deadlift (and help you pack on serious muscular size) you are in the right place.
If you know me well, youll know that I like to be efficient with my words Idont say more than necessary to get the point across. So whilst I could writeanother 20 pages telling you about the success stories lifters have had whilst using my training system I wont.
Instead, Ill get straight into explaining the system to you so that you can get to the gym and start the training program as soon as possible
Supercharge Your StrengthChapter 1: Why The Squat, Bench Press And Deadlift?
There are many exercises you can use to get strong, but this program focuses heavily on the squat, bench press and deadlift.
Sure, theres some assistance work in there but youll exert 70 to 80% of your effort on the big 3.
The BIG 3 are of course the three official powerlifts. So if you are a competitive powerlifter, youll already know why the Supersize Your Strength training program is based on the squat, bench press and deadlift.
But what if you are a guy who just wants to get stronger?
You might be wondering why I didnt write a program based around the Olympic Lifts, the Military Press, Pull Ups And Rows.
Well, theres a very good reason for it
The short answer is because there are no three better exercises to build absolute strength from head to toe.
The longer answer is as follows
The Olympic lifts are awesome. Of that there is no doubt. But when it comes to building absolute strength they are not as good as the powerlifts.
Consider the fact that the best Clean and Jerk in the world is a little over 250kg and the best squatters can shift 550kgs and more. There is no comparison for maximum strength, the powerlifts rule.
The Olympic lifts also have the drawback of being very hard to learn from a technical perspective. Sure, the squat, bench press and deadlift have some technical aspects that require serious practice to perfect, but nothing compared to the Olympic lifts.
Indeed, without a good coach, trying to learn the Olympic lifts can be a very tough thing to do, if not impossible for most average lifters.
Moving on the military press is a great movement, but when it comes to training the primary pressing muscles of the upper body (pecs, deltoids and
Supercharge Your Strengthtriceps) the military press limits the weight that can be used compared to thebench press. Therefore, for maximum strength the bench press remains kingof the upper body exercises.
Moving onto rows and pull-ups.
These are great movements to build a strong back, but are they really a substitute for the deadlift?
I think not.
They are simply great assistance exercises.
When it comes to building absolute strength from head to toe there is no better movement than the deadlift because its relatively easy to learn, can beperformed without any fancy apparatus, trains the grip hard (unlike all the other movements mentioned so far) and allows considerable poundages to be moved.
The squat, bench press and deadlift are the best movements for building absolute strength. Period.
And that is why they form the foundation of the Supersize Your Strength training program
Supercharge Your StrengthChapter 2: An Overview Of The Supersize Your Strength Training Program
