In my first seven meets I finished dead last. I wasn’t just beaten either, at times, I was absolutely destroyed. It wasn’t uncommon for me to find myself two or three hundred pounds behind the leaders going into the deadlift. After the deadlift, well, the leaders weren’t even in sight. I hate to admit this, but some guys could have beaten me without even benching. Their squat and deadlift totaled more than I totaled on all three lifts. Heck, at that time, even women and children could beat me. There was even a joke going around that the U.S.P.F. [powerlifting federation] was going to revoke my lifting card because I was impersonating a powerlifter. At least I think it was a joke. My little sister Mary Jean would say, ‘Judd, you have to quit competing you are embarrassing the family.’ She was serious.Obviously, I’ve come a long way in the sport. During my career, I had literally gone full circle-from one of the worst lifters to ever step on a lifting platform, to one of the best. And I did all that with a body that is not genetically constructed for powerlifting. In fact, it’s been said that I have the body of an 11-year-old stamp collector and that my legs are so skinny they look like a pair of pliers in shorts.How did I do it? Well it wasn’t the way I stacked or staggered some anabolic drug. In fact, I’ve never taken any drugs. The way I achieved world class status was through my mind. I learned to play the game of powerlifting above my shoulders. Through scientific means, I learned to take control of my environment, the people in it, and best yet; I’ve learned to take control of myself. The secret to my success and strength lies in these abilities.The best part of all this is that you can achieve these abilities just as I have. That’s what this book is all about. It’s designed as a learning manual and was written with the intent of presenting a systematic approach to prepare you for powerlifting competition.The methods in this book are based on scientifically validated research. They will work whether you believe in them or not. The only thing that is required is understanding and practice. If you apply the concepts outlined for you in this book, I flat guarantee you that your competition results will increase significantly. I’m not just blowing smoke here either; I’m speaking straight from the stone tablets.”About the authorDr. Judd Biasiotto has worked as a sports psychologist with numerous amateur and professional athletes and sports teams, including the Kansas City Royals, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Cincinnati Reds.Built, by his own admission, “as an eleven year old stamp collector”, Biasiotto took on the sport of powerlifting. For a long time he finished dead last in every meet he entered. Then he applied the methods he has detailed in this book to his training–and won 4 world championships and set 14 world records. Drug free.Steve Freides wrote:A Must-Read for Every PerformerI am a musician by trade but also a competitive amateur powerlifter. Dr. Judd supplies the tools to improve your ability to perform. He focuses on his expertise, sports, but reading this book will help anyone who has to “deliver the goods,” whether that’s playing music, hitting a tennis ball, giving a business presentation, or anything else that involves the need to perform at your best in public.The book is comprehensive, covering proven strategies as different as ancient Chinese Qigong and modern psychology. You don’t need to do everything in this book – choose things that appeal to you that can help you and try each to see if it’s an approach that you can incorporate into your own game plan. As a successful performer in both music and athletics, I found myself recognizing many things I already do well but “Psych” has already helped me tweak some of my personal strategies to work better while also introducing me to ideas I’d never considered before.The author walks the walk, too – he’s performed at a world-class level in lifting weights and also he’s been a consultant to top professional sports teams.Highly recommended.
