TWO WEBSITES ON INTEREST!

WEBSITE #1)
I have been corresponding with a well known fitness writer (for Muscular Development Magazine) for several years, off and on. His name is Ron Harris. He is a top-ranked "natural" (as in PURELY drug-free!!!) bodybuilder on a National Level (in fact he recently competed in the Mr. Universe competition, which is 100% drug free!). Go to his website and you'll be impressed. http://www.ronharrismuscle.com/welcome/

I am impressed with Ron not only by what he's attained as a drug free bodybuilder, but also by keeping his life balanced and everything in perspective. He has a beautiful family and he is a man of great character.

WEBSITE #2)
Have you ever heard of Dr. Squat? Fred Hatfield, PHD? Fred was a world champion powerlifter in the eighties. In 1987 at the age of 45 he set a world record and squatted 1,014 lbs! MOre than anyone else in the history of the sport at that time....hence, his nickname "Dr. Squat."
Anyway, Dr Fred has his won website which is very informative (go to articles section). Everything Dr. Fred approaches is from a scientific perspective. His training leading up to his world record was based purely on science. While at Half Price Books today I picked up an old copy of his former best seller "HardcoreBodybuilding, a Scientific Approach." What is unique is his approach to adding muscle mass..... you should pick two exercises per body part and perform 6 sets (after warming up!)... the sets should be set up like this: Sets 1&2 (heavy, explosive for 5-7 reps), sets 3&4 (constant tension, full range of motion for 10-12 reps), and finally sets 5&6 (fast paced for a pump, 20-25 reps)... this is his "holistic" style of training. It hits every possible muscle fiber and completely breaks the muscles down. I plan to experiment with this style training after the holidays.
