Power to the People! Monthly

Power to the People! Monthly

Well the 1st issue is out and is it as good as the hype?
With the 1st issue you got a powerful article on how to increase your power in the bench press. I do not do much benching now, [I should say not as much as I did in the past] but I have pushed +500lbs. So I went out to my garage and put what I learned in the issue to use. Normally I can squeeze out, on a good day about 10-12 reps with 315lbs. I decided to do my set as I would and when I got near the end start using the methods in the training. I was able to get 16. Now are you supposed to use this info for reps, i do not know if that was the intent but it worked. This knowledge could have helped me about 15 years or so ago.
Overall I give it a B++ and it is worth the price, but it could be longer, which would get it an A

Additional Additions

I'm not sure if my title makes sense, but I like it. Anyway I've added a new part to my workouts. I am just finished trying to add strength/mass, so now I will go for the fat loss. [which I always am aiming for anyway] I will still do the H2H: Kettlebell Circuits as before, this is my cardio, I don't like running, neither do my knees and back. I do the 3 rounds with a 53 lb bell 30 seconds each set non stop , for a total of 4.5 minutes. If that is all I am doing that day, for what ever reason, I will drop to a 35 lb bell , 1 minute each set. My workout routines will also be the same as before but I will be adding a twist. I have been seeing ads for Matt Fureys combat conditioning so I broke down and ordered it, and joined his inner circle. I tell you what the members forum alone is well worth the price. The basis of his workouts is body weight exercises so I've been adding the royal court to my daily routine along with his ab work. The royal court is 3 exercises that work the whole body and they can be done daily. The ab work is done standing up! I am starting to feel completely energized on a daily basis and it is great. I am still waiting on my "stone" to be delivered so I can change everything again.
