Dan Austin, Bryan Mann

the complete guide to technique, training, and competition

In this second edition of <i>Powerlifting</i>, Hall of Famer Dan Austin teams with strength and conditioning expert Dr. Bryan Mann to offer the most comprehensive powerlifting resource available. This no-nonsense approach to training and competing offers over 100 exercises that promote the development of the three primary movements -- the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Includes dynamic warm-up routines and recovery techniques. This edition has been updated to address female powerlifters and includes both exercise-specific and off-season training programs. Precompetition checklists give you at-a-glance guides for tasks to complete and items to bring to meets. Examples of the best sources of protein and carbohydrates to fuel your body, as well as information on preworkout drinks and common supplements, are also included. This is an indispensable resource for competitive and recreational lifters alike. --Adapted from back cover
