O.K., so we weren't able to convince Paul to include a good recipe for chicken-fried steak, but what he did serve up is a humorous but insightful account of effective basic powerlifting training. Don't look here if you think your next gains come from going triple-ply or your next win depends on shopping for the right federation. Do stop by though if you think a little horse sense is just what's called for when it comes to basic training for powerlifting. 96 pp.

2016 Edition - Grow bigger, stronger, faster! Paul Kelso's techniques utilize the natural mobility of the shoulder girdle to build a foundation for heavy lifting and to isolate specific muscle groups as an adjunct to regular training.  This book also includes two bonus sections: The first on using the Gerard trap bar, and the other, a bone structure course.  Profusely illustrated.  WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE KELSO SHRUG: "You've take the shrug farther than anyone in the game," Peary Rader. "Should be part of every trainee's program," Doctor Ken Leistner.
