Powerlifting Timeline

Paul Kelso is no stranger to the History of Powerlifting -- he has been around strength training for the better part of five decades as a lifter, trainer, competitor and coach. He's even made a little history himself with his "Shrug Training Principles" and the many training articles that have appeared in Hard Gainer, Iron Man Magazine and Powerlifting USA just to name a few. Recently, Paul Kelso decided to tackle the incredible task of putting together the long history of Powerlifting. After months of research, it's finally done...
