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 ...

Tailoring Your Workout Program - Part One

Tips and Advice for Tailoring Your Training Routine Part 1: Workload Basics “In order to create a successful strength program, you must design it to fit your individual needs. You must consider your weaker bodyparts, and build it around such factors as time limitations, old injuries, and your ability to recover from the workload. A program that brings results for your training mates of the same age and bodyweight may not be right for you. Some people thrive on lots and lots of work in the gym, whereas others become chronically fatigued and eventually injured if they attempt to carry a heavy workload for any period of time.” ~Bill Starr I open with that quote from Bill Starr since those are the very things that I want to cover in this series of essays. Lately, I have received the most questions from readers on this very subject. With all of the programs that I write for the blog, I give workout “ex...

Lift Big, Eat Big, Rest Big, Grow Big

An Old-School Powerbuilding Regimen from the Golden Age Powerlifter Hugh Cassidy The other day, a reader suggested that I write an article on Hugh Cassidy, a legendary powerlifter from the ‘70s. It reminded me of something I had forgotten. A few years ago, I had made some notes on Cassidy, with the intent of turning those notes into an article. After reading the comment, I scoured through several notebooks filled with various ideas—I probably have a dozen or so notebooks crammed full of my thoughts for articles—until I found the page of scribblings I had made on Cassidy. After reading over what I had written in ‘23, I have no idea why I didn’t write an essay on Cassidy back then. Perhaps it was too similar to other articles I had written at that time. Usually, when I let something fall to the wayside, that’s a possible reason. Sometimes, I simply lose interest in an article. Oh, well. After reading over my not...
