Nelson sees that record (75 0.25) as tainted, even though Barnes had passed the drug test when he broke the record.  You don t start taking drugs after you break the world record  let s be honest! <br><br>Poliquin Power<br><br>After last year s world championships, Nelson learned about the success of Charles Poliquin, a strength coach who is owner of the Poliquin Performance Center in Tempe, Arizona. Nelson thought Poliquin might be able to take him to an even higher level. <br>Because Nelson is relatively light for a shot-putter, much of Poliquin s early preparation was designed to increase Nelson s bodyweight. About Nelson s previous attempts to add weight, Poliquin commented,  He always did try, but he had a hard time doing it. According to Poliquin, in seven years of testing athletes he s seen only one who had what he would consider a  normal system. Nelson was not that one, as testing by Poliquin s team of doctors discovered that a specific bacterium called proteus mirabilis was affecting Nelson's digestive system, especially his ability to assimilate protein. <br>Within three months he gained 25 pounds of solid muscle and even decreased his body fat by five percent. Nelson says his goal is to add another 15 pounds of muscle before the Olympics.  I thought I was overtraining or just stressed out, says Nelson.  Once we corrected that problem, everything went back into place again. I have more energy for training and I ve gotten so much stronger this year. <br>Another priority in Nelson s training was developing muscular balance to prevent injuries.  Adam s current training didn t address muscular balance, so we worked a lot of antagonist muscles to the shot put, says Poliquin.  We did a lot of chin-ups, fat bar work, and a lot of work with partial movements, bands and lifting chains.  One reason that lifting chains work so well is they are one of the few methods that can improve both explosive power and maximal strength at the same time. Adds Nelson,  Chains force you to continually push yourself to accelerate though the lift, rather than keeping a steady pressure. We used them for core lifts such as inclines and squats. <br>This will give you an idea of how strong Nelson has become since addressing his health issues and using these unique training methods: When Nelson started with Poliquin, he could incline press 385 pounds using a 3-inch-thick bar; now he does 525. <br>Poliquin alters his training strategies to accommodate the requirements of various field athletes. He comments,  The different implements require different amounts of force in the forcand causing the sleeves to fall off. This can be very dangerous when doing any lift, but it is especially dangerous when doing heavy deadlifts and heavy squats. <br>Price: Bars with a yield strength of 135,000 to 165,000 PSI are $130 to $150. For your super-heavy lifters, look at spending around $300-the price goes up substantially asF(j;2ò1tr6Apķ~n36<["B^1TMpU^3{=Ũq;:PvZ,g3J6ِg\AqȻꓦ.񩮍K) 8M 8s1Ro}ȭq798۵dJ'P?~'38&Z McV\jg)1}k7T%FJ̉FtG@^)kЩA,$@EJOg-QXPXjYz.BN`'3Wm2ʪ|E. 3Y{wi.TcR 9&Ħ{۵ՎOJ9ua6JHi $xrk+Зը^Y)IZ!ڱw&T$Y]T!H{Pzeވ&:YfJaDI\z"mz 4 rdG k[⹯b 摠>vѲ(l',ػ!1*ip&ry0dr GwlLjF96%_("X h7r?Ն]s&%̥dO\yãbLi^#H9ɑ 3ʛyQYV$" E?\{̷MȻË(D%0d-lOhDZ3E1ȴԖBŅͥz 矩Xt^eʙ x=LJ9bHs Joo/ffCRyL}B>;9!eFEDwNOHV CM-N_TK,0 QB]j֞&dO3O&Dq&%t/'B;t "UvaմKdT |J|R԰`0["@I|}ɀf9T0s$ԶAWݒTK(VlRɼɕAE5|c<`x(L5jgb!Ҵh=% *$#2wbGd-CznS>7O޾d+CzoL*2-2r˰cۻY3SD"QKo Gbn;iY;|10v+)p$#ryJ# ٠RJF#ry哉{=4GOtjnQsND̺m7y5m_Kd^o$e8$Sn#DyLvғ*HecšV~lpӍłx "Jқ(&2\`9,bq]&R5͋a/7ʺVSn(CQ^vUEd]r~;9t0ɉ>cxy:5bEeS@ɔjn- UMcw򙱿5k gyL -q{nk-4}q-$gwo:iS:uvu[T7/cÓw{YOU_T*t&E 5Ղ|Uf=Uj؉.Bx/GgJڞk2Ů]i17`I_ yՉk(]Dk('K^kN$_6ڮ"M8ʈr _ SI[ R.M+x?jk`:'W0q+H CRk buof|Xl~b;Ɗ,X^5|ˌqeQQwA,,SЪ/ɳ$4,'$q@1%ڑVjmŃQ -HQ6t1?ǫ]]Wq1ďHco1o mpLBmeZ+`_.FͶ(2( @K͆<V͋Haҹy>hK}O$v{9^snh5tmX!U89ޙg[F(,' "ujN*Ȃ{==ʢ̟R1'mS1! p0ȢJsOmY-RDhs< >m͗MZ[lI1lSjA=v4,j 5nGs")oevYt,pp`2 !* <}@TLh>ҭ[UQe*akQUwJ؞g'~h-oqe2 "nv#fZ7Gسb{7˷YG $.6Nb )
