Easy Strength for the Older Lifter

A Complete Midlife Easy Strength Program (and Advice) for New Lifters, Beginners, and Those Returning to Lifting After a Long Layoff I believe synchronicity isn’t chance or random. There is a Power at work in the cosmos that permeates the in-between. It is the Tao, the Logos, the All Pervading One that somehow, some way is always at work. What it is exactly, I’m not saying that I know. I don’t. But it is there, weaving its wondrous energy through the luminosity of the space-between-spaces. And, apparently, through my email, as well. Don’t worry. I have a point for the above sentences. This isn’t going to be one of my mystic-eyed ramblings—well, I guess I can’t promise that entirely—but I write the preceding because of some questions I received yesterday. (At least, it was yesterday as I type these words at this moment in time, which will be a different this from your standpoint reading it....

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 .

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 ...

Your Body Becomes its Function

Is this “Forgotten” Principle the Key for True Physique Transformation? Some (Slightly) Rambling Thoughts and Musings I suppose the slogan “your body becomes its function” isn’t exactly “forgotten,” but it is little known—oh, and it also makes for a catchy little subtitle. It comes, supposedly, from the “Bulgarian system” of training. I first read the pithy saying when I shelled over something like $50 for the “Big Beyond Belief” manual, a.k.a. “Serious Growth 3,” sometime in the early to mid ‘90s. Written by Leo Costa Jr. and, believe it or not, Tom Platz, even though Platz had always trained in the exact opposite manner of every training principle the book touted, it was hugely marketed in all of the bodybuilding rags at that time. If you were around, and training, back then, there’s very little chance that you don’t remember it. Its subtitle was “the most effective muscle producing program ever!” So, yeah, it was pre...
