So begins the PowerliftingToWin Nutrition Series! In this first installment, Izzy lays down the groundwork for the actual point of Powerlifting nutrition.

As promised, the nutrition series marches on with this next installment focusing on the overall strategy that a Powerlifter should follow in terms of weight management. In particular, we discuss when one should bulk and when one should cut. In other words, how fat is too fat? And why? How lean is too lean? And why? How do you put it all together to get into an actual weight class? If you want the answers to those questions, read this article.

In other words, find out a real world strategy for HOW to actually deal with body fat measurements and body fat information.
