New Planet Muscle Article: "Alien Mass"

First off, the good news: I have an article in the latest issue of Planet Muscle magazine entitled "9 Keys for Alien Mass."

The bad news: Josh Bryant is listed as the author, and not me.

Oh, well; it was an honest mistake by Everson and crew.

Anyway, check out the article; it's more "bodybuilding" than some of my other articles, which means that you will probably enjoy it either more or less than the others.

Marvin Eder’s Mass-Building Methods

The Many and Varied Mass-Building Methods of Power Bodybuilding’s G.O.A.T. Eder as he appeared in my article "Full Body Workouts" for IronMan magazine. In many ways, the essay you are now reading is the one that has had the “longest time coming.” I have no clue why it has taken me this long to write an article specifically on Marvin Eder, especially considering the fact that I have long considered him the greatest bodybuilder cum strength athlete of all friggin’ time . In fact, over 20 years ago, I wrote this in the pages of IronMan magazine: In my opinion, the greatest all-around bodybuilder, powerlifter and strength athlete ever to walk the planet, Eder had 19-inch arms at a bodyweight of 198. He could bench 510, squat 550 for 10 reps and do a barbell press with 365. He was reported to have achieved the amazing feat of cranking out 1,000 dips in only 17 minutes. Imagine doing a dip a second for 17 minutes. As Gene Mozee once put ...

Grip Work for More Mass, Strength, and Power

I apologize for the delay in posts this month. I just returned from a vacation to my home state of Texas and simply wasn't able to get the writing done out there that I had PLANNED on doing. Anyway, I hope to post more frequently for the remainder of the month. Also, be on the lookout for a new book (hopefully this week🤞) on heavy-light-medium training! With that out of the way... Grip Work for More Mass, Strength, and Power If You Want to Get REALLY Big and Strong, Throw Away the Straps and Embrace HARD Grip Work “When I made the decision to forego the use of straps and persevere until I could handle heavy weights without them, I surpassed previous bests. In fact, the entire exercise (deadlifts) became much more intense and my overall gains in strength and muscular size were quite unexpected. Perhaps my level of concentration was higher because I was so intent on maintaining my grip on the...

Heavy/Light/Medium Training: How to Design a Powerlifting Program

Heavy/Light/Medium Training Part 7: How to Design a Powerlifting Program Using the H/L/M System At the beginning of February, I started this series on H/L/M training using the methods of the late, great, and, hell, legendary Bill Starr. For now, I believe this will be the last in the series, although I will still probably do a few more here and there when there is interest or when I think of a subject. Also, April 7 th was the 10-year anniversary of his death, and I have the intention of using this series—along with other articles and essays that I’ve done in the past—to publish a book on Starr sometime later this month in honor of him. Since this is—as the subtitle above indicates—the 7 th part of this series, you might do well to familiarize yourself with the previous installments. At the very least, read parts 1 through 4, as those cover similar concepts as this article, and it will allow you to se...
