I have two new articles this month already out.  One of them is in the latest issue (April '09) of Iron Man magazine - see pic to the left - and the other is at the website www.dragondoor.com.
The Iron Man article is entitled "Total Training" and it deals with full-body workouts for advanced lifters.  Which, despite what many of you "split" advocates might believe, is still the best kind of training that can be performed.
The Dragon Door article is entitled "The Heavy-Light-Medium System for Strength and Power."
Check both of them out.

The Deadlift Ultimate

AKA: The Last Deadlift Training Article You EVER Need to Read! Tips, Techniques, Tricks, Workout Routines, and Training Suggestions for Building Incredible Deadlift Strength and Power      Okay, maybe my “also known as” title here is a little, you know, over the top.  But as I sit here at my laptop, tapping away at these keys, my goal is (or at least make a valiant effort) to write the end-all, be-all article for building a monstrously strong and powerful deadlift.  I have the deadlift on my mind after penning my last few articles—a few on Anthony Ditillo’s training methods, another on a 3-day Russian training program, and my recent essay on an overview of Russian methods—because here’s the lowdown for the deadlift: while I love Ditillo’s training methods and Russian workout plans overall, I don’t necessarily think any of those methods are the best when it comes to the deadlift.  If you want to get really big and strong, plus build up your squat...

Anthony Ditillo and the Development of Muscular Bulk and Power

Ditillo the legend in all of his massive and cool glory. Lessons in Muscular Bulk and Power from Anthony Ditillo (With a Little Help from Dezso Ban)      Per a request from a reader, the other day I started to do some research on Anthony Ditillo to write the very thing that you’re now reading.  I have written about Ditillo’s methods here and there over the years, but have never written an article dedicated solely to the legendary bodybuilding writer/strength and power athlete.  It didn’t take long for me to realize that there’s not a whole lot on Ditillo’s personal life.  I think the man, to be honest, would have wanted it that way.  He dedicated his life to discovering, and then writing about, the best methods on the planet for building massive amounts of both size and strength.  He tried out numerous workout routines and programs in an attempt to find the very best of those methods and techniques on the planet, then passed that knowle...

Ditillo’s Big Three for Bulk and Power

More Anthony Ditillo Training Wisdom for Developing Size and Strength      My recent essay on the training methods of the great bodybuilding writer Anthony Ditillo has proven quite popular, more so than I thought it would be when I posted it.  When I wrote it, I knowingly left out a few of his training routines due to length constraints.  I was afraid it was a bit too long as is when I finished it, since my shorter articles tend to get the most views.  Besides, I figured I could always write more down the road, though “down the road,” in this case didn’t prove to be very long.      Ditillo was a huge proponent of using the “big,” basic barbell movements—squats, overhead presses, bench presses, bent-over rows, deadlifts, barbell curls, and the like.  But in one of his many articles for Ironman , he wrote that there were three movements in particular that were all you needed to, in his words, “build great massiveness a...
