I R O N E S S A Y S Ron Started off weighing 241 pounds standing 5’9.” This 48 year old Mack Truck factory worker was able to squat 95, bench press 95 and deadlift 135 for reps on day one. On day 88 Ron squatted 245, bench pressed 225 and deadlifted 400 weighing 175 pounds. Ron took 3rd place in his age and weight division at the 2005 AAU World Powerlifting Championships. Betty Started off weighing 305 pounds standing 5’2.” This 61 year old grandmother was unable to walk 50 steps without stopping to catch her breath for 15 minutes. She was unable to perform a single squat with zero weight. She could perform one incline pushup with no weight and was unable to squat down to grab a deadlift bar. On day 88 she won her age group at the AAU World Powerlifting Championships with a 205 pound squat, a 100 pound bench press and a 195 pound deadlift. She was able to walk the circumference of a 154 acre farm without stopping and weighed 264 pounds. Connie Started off weighing 183 pounds standing 5’3.” This 39 year old mother of five boys was able to squat and deadlift 75 pounds on day one and bench press 40 pounds. On day 88 Connie won the AAU World Powerlifting title weighing 148 pounds. She squatted 185, bench pressed 145 and deadlifted 185. In training she had bench pressed 95 for 10 reps. Jen Started off weighing 305 pounds standing 5’8.” This 33 year old computer programmer on day one was able to do 10 incline pushups with no weight. She was able to perform one full squat with no weight and one deadlift with the empty 45 pound barbell. On day 88 Jen won her weight class at the AAU Championship squatting 200, bench pressing 105 and deadlifting 280 before barely missing 300. She weighed 271. All final lifts were done under the strict scrutiny of three judges in high level powerlifting competition. No suits, belts, wraps or bench shirts were used in training or competition and no one ever did any lift other than the squat, bench press or deadlift. Sessions were done thrice weekly and everyone walked outdoors everyday for 30 minutes. Ron made the most gains and I think this was attributable to his sticking the closest to the diet. Ron opted for a Parrillo-style multiple-meal eating schedule. He lost 65 pounds of bodyweight in 90 days. In fact his progress was even more astounding in that he added 12 pounds of muscle. Using the add-back equation reveals that Ron lost 78 pounds of fat and added 12 pounds of muscle to end up at a scale weight of 175 pounds. At the competition he missed a 3rd attempt squat with 275 pounds. Betty’s progress in some ways was more astounding. While she didn’t lose the bodyweight that Ron did, her health went from feeble and life-threatening to strong and empowered.

27 P T H E P U R P O S E F U L P R I M I T I V E EBB AND FLOW Progress is Difficult to Generate, Tough to Keep Going and Sure to End… hysical progress is an ebb and flow proposition. The only surefire bet in the world of fitness-related pursuits is that all progress eventually grinds to a halt, no matter how sophisticated the program or how great the individual effort. Progress Booster: The boys watch the video playback of Don Mill’s 635x5 squat weighing 211. Left to right, Pat Brooks rolls his wraps, Ray Evans, Joe Ferry (700 deadlift, 500 bench press @ 198) Don, Marshall Peck leans forward. I stand on the far right getting ready. The video playback was deservedly popular among lifters. Why depend on someone else’s ‘opinion’ about how your just completed lift looked—watch it yourself 30 seconds after completion and make the appropriate in-flight adjustments. We had the squat camera set up at parallel height looking at depth. The bench camera was set high looking down. The deadlift camera was straight ahead at bellybutton height.
