constantly looking for that "secret exercise" or (even more
exciting) a "secret routine" that will increase upper arm size
dramatically.

is the most dynamic and unorthodox arm training system
available today for adding 1/2 inch to the arms in one day.

Powerlifter Diet Plan
Weight Loss For Powerlifters
Over the years, unfounded rumors, myths and half-truths have arisen and
taken hold in regards to the detriments of cardio and diet to power
and strength performance. Cardio allegedly drains a powerlifter's power
akin to Superman wearing a Kryptonite codpiece. This is true only if
the cardio is pre-workout, intense, and in excess of 15-20 minutes,
and depends on the subsequent workout. For example, one would not want
to spend 20 minutes on a stepper or hammering on a cycle before their
squat training.
I've found that doing only a light and brief (5 minute) cardio warm up
on squat days helps keep my legs and squats strong for training.
Typically, my trainees, teammates and I will do 20 minutes of
post-workout cardio on bench days and off days, which comes out 3 days
a week on average. For those who only do evening workouts, 20-30
minutes of morning cardio, every other day, works very well.
As far as fat loss, I never rely on or look to cardio as a sole or
primary means to that, preferring diet modification. Approach that
I take with my trainees, that continues to work well, is to drop
calories over the course of 3-4 weeks to about 70% of my maintenance
calories, then hold at 70% until the target weight range is reached.
Example:
wk 1: 9 x bodyweight integer (250 lb) = 2250 calories
wk 2: 8 x bodyweight integer (250 lb) = 2000 calories
wk 3: 7 x bodyweight integer (250 lb) = 1750 calories
From here, calories are brought (over the course of 3-4 weeks) back
up to 90% which becomes the lifter's new maintenance calorie intake.
The key here is to keep the calories as lean as possible. No
processed foods (except on a cheat day here and there), no saturated
or hydrogenated fats at any time, and always, always, always
consuming protein with carbs.
A lean operation is an efficient one, and the same goes for bodies.
You will find that when you keep your fat and weight under
control, your training efficiency, metabolic efficiency, and
performance improve considerably, comparatively effortlessly, and
you won't fight yourself caught up in the battle of trying to make
weight.
