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.

The 2nd article outlined a more detailed training program that anyone can use to begin a high-frequency, high-volume routine. In this article and the other that will follow, I am going to outline in much greater detail exactly what my son Garrett does (and did) to build his outstanding, not to mention entirely natural , physique. ...

Ordinary Lifting is the Way

On Plain, Simple, but Effective Workouts and Progressive Training Programs Zhazhou asked Nanquan, “What is the Way?” Nanquan said, “Ordinary mind is the Way.” “Just watch children playing. Eat vegetable soup instead of duck stew” ~Matsuo Basho (the most famous haiku poet of Edo-era Japan; this was his advice to poets) When in pursuit of our goals from resistance training—whether it’s size, strength, both, or just aesthetics—it’s only natural to look toward what you want to achieve down the road. That is, after all, the reason that you are training to begin with. You want to achieve. You are in pursuit of mass and power. Maybe you don’t want to just achieve but you want to excel. But when we are constantly focused on the future, we take ourselves away from the now , the present moment where we are actually lifting. ...
