The Strongest Shall Always Survive - Coming Soon!

UPDATE: This book is now available for purchase.  Go to the My Books link below for all of the details! 

I have a new book coming soon.  It's titled "The Strongest Shall Always Survive: Lifting Lessons from an Iron Legend."  If you haven't guessed already, based on the title, it's on the training of Bill Starr.  It includes all of the H-L-M essays that I originally wrote for the blog, though they have all been revamped with new material, along with some never-before-published chapters.  Here is the tentative cover:



Whether you're a long-time fan of Starr or this is your 1st time hearing of him, I think you will find plenty of great workouts, training ideas, tips, and strategies for getting bigger, stronger, and more athletic.  Outside of owning Starr's original book "The Strongest Shall Survive: Strength Training for Football," it will be the best book available for understanding Starr's methods.  (Yes, I'm aware that I might be a bit biased.)  Look for it in the next week or two!

Outside of my new book, look for a new essay on the blog in the next day or so.


     If you enjoy reading my blog, then consider buying a copy of one of my other books.  My book "Ultimate Mass and Power” is packed full of workout routines in every single chapter.  My follow-up book “Ultimate Mass and Power Essays” is crammed with great workout ideas, training theories, and even more programs.  And, if you’re looking for a book that can take you from neophyte beginner to a full-fledged advanced lifter, consider my book “Ultimate Strength.”  You can find more information in the My Books page.

Classic Bodybuilding: Don Howorth's Massive Delt Training

Don Howorth's Formula for Wide, Massive Shoulders Vintage picture of Don Howorth in competition shape. I can't remember the first time I laid eyes on Howorth's massive physique with those absolutely friggin' awesomely shaped "cannonball" shoulders of his, but it was probably sometime in the late '80s and early '90s, when I read about him in either IronMan Magazine  or MuscleMag International .  IronMan  had regular "Mass from the Past" articles written by Gene Mozee that had a couple of articles about Howorth's training*, and he was also mentioned fairly regularly in Vince Gironda's column for MuscleMag  not to mention in some of the articles of Greg Zulak for the same publication. There is no doubt that genetics played a big role in just how fantastic Howorth's delts looked, but to claim Howorth's results were just because of genetics or anabolic steroids - as I've read claimed on some internet forums - is a l...

Remembering Don Howorth

Some Thoughts and Remembrances on “The Duke of Delts” Don Howorth, His Training Methodology, and His Departure from Earthly Life      Even though I spend quite a bit of my time writing articles and essays for this blog, along with other writing projects that I have going on, I don’t spend that much time online.  As I have a feeling it’s the same with many of you, if I do get online, it’s not long before I’m down some rabbit hole of different posts, videos, articles, or whatever else it is that I get sucked into on the internet.  Then, once I come to my senses, I discover that I’ve wasted the last half hour or so doing little other than rotting away my precious gray cells, to paraphrase the words of that famous Belgian detective written by the world’s most famous British mystery writer.  But not being online 24/7 has one drawback, I suppose.  I’m often out of touch with the latest news in the bodybuilding/strength and power community.  ...

Odd Training Splits and Ideas (That Work)

On the Joy of Creative Training      I love training for many reasons.  Like a lot of lifters, I’ve always loved training because, more than anything else, I just loved the feel of moving heavy iron.  I also loved the kind of training that goes along with being incredibly strong.  I can think of fewer pleasures in life than a workout that involves near max sets of squats, bench presses, deadlifts, overhead presses, and curls.  But I also love training because I love the creativity of it all.  I am a creative, after all.  An artist.  Writing is one of the arts that my creative side is attracted to—not just attracted to but needs .  But I love lifting for the same reason that I love writing.  The gym is where I practice the art of training.      Training is both science and art.  If you neglect either side, you’re neglecting the full range of benefits that lifting provides.  Nowadays...
