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 ...

Easy Strength Meets Easy Muscle

A Hybrid High-Frequency Training Program for a Combination of Size and Strength For more than 20 years, I have preached the benefits of high-frequency training (HFT) programs. First in the pages of some of the major bodybuilding magazines, such as IronMan magazine and Planet Muscle , and then on the blog when I started it in 2009. For the most part, the training I recommended was for strength first, with size, if it occurred, as more of a side-effect of the strength and power training. And for more than a decade, one of my favorite ways to use HFT is through so-called easy strength methods. However, I have in the last couple years proposed the theory of using an “easy muscle” approach, where you largely keep the “tenets” of easy strength but do it for higher repetitions, with the sole goal of hypertrophy. I’m not alone in thinking that this might be a good method for many seeking gains in muscle mass....

The Fighter’s Physique

Real Strength and Power Training for Fighters and Martial Artists How a Fighter Should Train and How to Train to Look Like a Fighter What follows is the longest article that (I think) I have ever written. It’s also been a long time coming, as I have planned on writing it for over a year. I suppose I knew it would be quite an endeavor, as I wanted to include everything I could think about that would help the fighter in his training. Despite the fact that it took me so long to write, I hope the final result is well-worth the wait. If you’re a fighter or martial artist who needs to improve your strength, speed, and power, not to mention dominate in your particular art or style, then this is THE article for you. Years ago, in the pages of Ironman magazine, I wrote an article on the “myths” of strength and power training. In that article, I wrote—paraphrasing Louie Simmons, the founder and head stren...
