Steve Shaw's Author Profile
Steve Shaw is a natural bodybuilding and strength training writer who fell in love with the iron game in the mid-80's. Mesmerized by the quads of Tom Platz and the torso of Mike Mentzer, Steve has spent the last 23 years studying training and bulking methods. He is a lifelong natural.
When he first hit the gym, Steve was a typical hardgainer. He tipped the scales at 150, and couldn't bench press more then 95 pounds for reps. Driven to improve, Steve began experimenting with weight progression and training theory. After a year of training, he had dramatically transformed his physique.
Currently, Steve Shaw is training for the 100% Raw natural powerlifting world championships. When training for bodybuilding, he utilizes a multitude of approaches, generally focusing on limited rest between sets, shorter workouts, and heavy, compound lifts.
