Dr. Squat - Dr. Fred Hatfield

Convention has it that there are three ways to lose weight: 1) dehydration, 2) fat loss, and 3) lean muscle weight loss. Fat loss is the ONLY acceptable route for you. Dehydration is never healthy or acceptable, and losing lean muscle is totally counter to everything that a healthy, fitness-oriented lifestyle stands for.

Oh, my aching brain!

Training systems galore! Training techniques beaucoup! All of the competing systems and techniques available these days are enough to fry anyone's brain! It's called "hyperchoice" and the result is that more and more iron worshippers are opting for the one that's presented with the greatest sizzle instead of carefully scrutinizing each relative to personal needs and objectives.

One of my favorite lines is, “I can pass by the weight room, smell the iron inside, and instantly begin to grow.” Simply, some people tend to thrive on very little exercise, while others seem to be incapable of making gains no matter how hard, long and frequently they train. This was referred to as one's "tolerance to exercise," a term coined by Arthur Jones years ago. One’s “tolerance” is high if more exercise is needed, and low if less is needed. There are many variables that can affect your exercise tolerance. Of course, “genetics” ranks highest on the list below, and you’ll notice several such factors. Others, on the other hand, are able to be manipulated in various ways.

Much is written about strength. But, save for all too few research documents, little of it goes beyond musings about how to acquire more than the norm. While this utilitarian approach to understanding strength is laudable, too few athletes, bodybuilders and coaches have ever taken the time to pull the concept of strength apart to a thoroughly finite level in order to discern its essence.

Proven Success! Training was the foundation and training successfully would be the completion of my building empire. Already, in just 2 short years, my dedication towards fitness has advanced to new heights. Thanks to an Ab's Diet Challenge I have been making appearances on the cover of Woman's World and an up and coming interview on ABC's 20/20. ProPower products are successfully leading my athletic physique to the tip top model condition I need in order to advance in these appearances. I am grateful to have such a product for my body and for the bodies of my clients.

I just wanted to say "thank you" to Dr. Squat and ProPower® Supplements for their help. I must admit that I did not think much of going with ProPower® at first, as we all know how supplement companies usually are. But I always keep an open mind. I had a long talk with the Doc. He told me some stories and gave some good advice which was most helpful.

This snapshot (circa 1987) may well have captured the greatest assemblage of lifters in history:

• Dave Waddington, First human ever to squat over 1,000 pounds (unofficially)
• Ted Arcidi, Benched a new World Record the day before this picture was taken, 666 pounds (the number of the BEAST)
• Lee Moran, The first human to officially squat 1,000 pounds
• Dr. Fred Hatfield, broke Moran's record with 1,014 pounds in the squat the day before this picture was taken
• Andy Kerr, European super-heavyweight champion.

Whew! Do I have stories about those days!
