Member 1736, 25 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 220590.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | So iv been Reading starting strength and rippetoe keeps makin the point that he is not a powerlifting coach and that what he is advising is for general strength training. Can anyone suggest wat would be changed for powerlifting training. E.g. He advocates heels shoulder width apart for squat but ses powerlifters go wider, y? Any good books people could suggest for more powerlifting specific training? | ||

 i shy away from hard work Member 549, 2761 posts SQ 250, BP 132.5, DL 282.5665.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | if you are a novice (which the book is aimed at) just do the program as is, you can always adjust your technique to a more powerlifting friendly style in the run up to a comp, you still need the basic strength building (assuming you are a novice) i know a few people who have had cracking results with this stuff | ||

Any good books people could suggest for more powerlifting specific training? find out where the good local guys train then go and ask them if can train or can they give you some advice? thats what i done and it worked for me a book wont tell you when your tech is s**t | ||

 Member 1419, 2281 posts SQ 175, BP 105, DL 240520.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | It will work but the best way to learn a sport is to find those who have more experience with you. Finding a local powerlifter/strongman/weightlifter and who is relatively accomplished, following every single thing he tells you, will trump any books/programs as a beginner. | ||
