Ultra-Minimal Power Training - Never Has A Man Done Less And Gone Further
Manage episode 298367974 series 2543793
Make sure to visit IRON COMPANY for all your strength training equipment including deep dish Olympic plates, power cages and weightlifting bars.
Mark Chaillet was a powerlifting savant. He eventually squatted a below parallel 1,000 lbs in training and 940 in competition. Mark deadlifted 880 weighing 270. He set a dozen world records in the deadlift. He asked for no one’s opinion about training. He had one way of training: period. He trained minimally within each session: three lifts and three lifts only, each done once a week for a single periodized rep. He trained infrequently and he championed the “rested effort.” Mark showed us how little was needed, in terms of training volume, to become massive and strong beyond comprehension. Never has a man done less and gone further.
Check out our weekly Powerlifting Articles by Marty Gallagher where Marty discusses everything from the squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press and much more. His latest article "The Power Savant - Ultra-Minimal Power Training" is up now.
And don't forget the Powerbuilding Articles combining his head strength coach experience from the University of Pennsylvania for twenty years with decades of successful powerlifting meets and bodybuilding competitions for us all to learn from and enjoy.
