Short on time, but still want to be be able to train for strength and power? Then give these workouts a try.


If it's strength and power you want, you know that you have to squat, but leave it to Jim Schmitz to put a fresh slant on things. Incidentally, don't be fooled by the smile: it's about to disappear as Angelina Medina (Columbia), a world-class 69-kg weightlifter, digs in to grind out the reps in the training hall at the 2007 World Weightlifting Championships (Chiang Mai, Thailand).

Jim Schmitz knows his stuff when it comes to lifting - his credentials as a coach, gym owner and author are more than formidable - and his specialty has always been weightlifting, as in the Olympic sport. So read what Jim has to say if you want more strength and power, but don't have all day to train.
