MAY 2005
TIP FOR THE MONTH

Hello!
I'd  like to tell you about a method I've been using for getting stronger and growing muscle.  I call it the weight star method.  I've used this technique in the past during the spring and summer months to gradually increased my exercise poundages.  This is the time of the year I concentrate on gaining muscle and this method is perfect for doing so.  Here's how:  Before I start my workout I write out the exercises I'm going to perform in diary and list the weights next to each exercise.  My goal is to do more weight for the same amount of reps as in my last workout -- or more reps with the same amount of weight.  It's best to do three sets of each exercise and work up in weight on each successive set.  Only go a little heavier on your last set (2.5 to 5 pounds) -- or do one extra rep with the same weight you used last workout.  When you do so you write a star after each exercise. 

I've been using this weight star method since late March and my poundages keep going up.  I think the Lifewave Nanotechnology Patches have much to do with this strength increase.  My stamina has improved too and I've gained from 178 up to a solid 185.  I'm excited about this progress but don't want to throw caution to the wind and keep going heavier and heavier.  Obviously there's a limit to the weights I'll use.  I'm nowhere near what I've done in the past when I was competing, but then that was over 20 years ago.  Still, these recent workouts are the best I've had in years and I'm excited about my progress. 

There's a full write up about the Lifewave patches in the most recent Spring 2005 Building the Body Quarterly.  The next issue, Summer 2005, comes out in July will have a detailed report of my exact training progress.  If you do not already subscribe and want to check out my quarterly magazine, send us a buck and we'll mail you an autographed back issue.

On Memorial Day May 30th I will be inducted into the Muscle Beach Hall of Fame.  The event will take place at the Venice Beach Weight Pavilion early afternoon.  I've written a song for the occasion entitled Muscle Beach which I will perform at the event.  Hope to see you there.                                   FZ
