Strength Plus Magazine – First Issue!
Check out the first issue of a new online strength magazine focused on Olympic Weightlifting, Strength Plus. Scroll to the bottom and right click the image of Kendrick Ferris to ‘save as’. It looks like this:
This issue is ‘inside the French system’. Oooh, sexy! It’s pretty massive (70 pages). It also includes an interview with Kendrick Ferris (they also feature a weeks-worth of his workouts!), photos and commentary from the 2010 Arnold, a cartoon, and a feature on Sarah Roble’s transition from throwing to lifting.
It’s put together by Rachel Crass – Editor; Robert Hall – assistant editor; and Rampant Lion Productions – Publisher.
From the editorial intro by Rachel Crass:
The first issue is done, and what a crazy ride it has been. When I chose to create a magazine devoted to Olympic-style weightlifting, I had no idea what awaited me. But perhaps my naïveté was a good thing, as this magazine might not be here without it; few enlightened peo-ple would have taken on such a mind-bending project.
Nevertheless, here we are. Weightlifting in the United States has a magazine again and, hopefully, will have one for a long time to come.
I’m looking forward to it!

Awesome find!
One question on KF’s routine: WTF is a Cajun Deadlift?
Thanks for posting, Nick! I have to admit that “The Iron Samurai” is quite a intriguing title. E-mail me at editor@strengthplusmagazine.com. Maybe we can get some publicity for each other. A friend of USAW (I’m also a sports performance coach.) is a friend of mine…and of the magazine.
Roy, “cajun deadlift” is just another name for an RDL. Same exact exercise, different name. I intended to clarify that before we published it, but time got the better of me, I suppose. Oops.
Ah … that’s a cajun deadlift! Thanks!
I just emailed you. The gist of it was that I think your magazine is going to be great for the sport! We need it. Finding as many ways in which we can promote the sport to the average person as something that is both fun and accessible is good.
Keep it up, our whole team supports your efforts!
