Power Training Simplified

July 26, 2006

For those who don’t like or don’t want to do the Olympic lifts, here is a simple workout guaranteed to pack on size and strength like you wouldn’t believe.

This workout requires hard work and focus. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of it. You’ll only get results if you work hard with maximum intensity. Half-assed effort will get you half-assed results.

The exercises involved work every major muscle structure in the body. They are the compound, power movements. You don’t need the isolation stuff in this routine. The old saying, “build a bicep muscle first before trying to work it from different angles,” applies here.

Power Training Simplified


Squats 2 x 8-10
Overhead Press 2 x 8-10
Deadlifts 2 x 8-10
Rows 2 x 8-10

Notes: Train 2-3 days per week and get plenty of rest and eat good, healthy food. After 3-6 weeks lower the reps to five or six per set. Low reps with heavy weight builds power. Higher reps build muscular endurance and since this is a power routine, lower the reps after a month or two.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must!Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
