What is powerlifting?
How did the 700-pound squat, 400-pound bench press, 635-pound dead lift jive with Ironman triathlon training?
Were the powerlifting and endurance sports at completely different times of your life, or do you maintain that amount of power during Ironman training? On the same vein, do you feel that powerlifting and endurance training can and should be done simultaneously?
If so, what would be sample program, for, say a marathoner, cyclist or triathlete?
You also had success with kettlebell competition. Can you explain what a kettlebell is and how it can be used?

Listener Q&A:
Listener Dave asks: I am 50, in the process of trying to lose 2 lbs per week and train for a very tough (hilly, often windy) bicycling century ride in September. I keep a food and activity log at www.livestrong.com (which after trying several sites I found this one the best.) I am eating to a +1,000 calories a day (ie. If I burn 1000 Kcals with my activities I will eat 2,000 Kcals. Since I've gone to the +1,000 .. (I was at +1,500) I have lost between 1.8 and 2.3 pds each week for 4 weeks and have felt fine. Do you see any problems with this?
Question 2. I am lifting weights (more for general health, looks and so forth rather than trying to improve performance.) I am using Pete Sisco's "Static Contraction" method. I was wondering what you thought?
Listener Miguel asks: Here in Portugal it is growing quickly the superfoods market. I would like to know what's your opinion about these superfoods like spirulina, maca, goji berries, cocoa...the marketers are always trying to say that this is good for you stomach and this for your brain. If you agree with these foods how can I introduce them in my diet?
Listener Bob asks: Why do I bonk after only two hours of riding. I ride at a reasonable pace, ex. only 17-20 mph. Not a crazy high heart rate, maybe 130? Not really winded. I consume two bottles of Hammer, Heed (2scoop ea.) fuel. After two hours I am really slow
