Your nutrition plan will not be eFFective by itselF. You must combine a good diet with an appropriate exercise program for optimal results. IF you have been sedentary and are unaccustomed to vigorous exercise, you should obtain your physician’s clearance beFore beginning an exercise program.

A diagnostic exercise test and physical examination is also recommended in individuals oF any age who exhibit two or more oF the major coronary risK factors (smoKing, family history oF heart disease, elevated blood cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and diabetes). Any individual with a known history oF heart disease or other heart problems should be required to have a medical evaluation including a graded exercise test beFore engaging in strenuous physical activity. The author and publisher shall have neither liability nor responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any oF the inFormation contained in this manual. The user assumes all risK for any injury, loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused, directly or indirectly by using any inFormation described in this course. Preface and Dedication This manual will reveal to you all the secrets oF permanent fat loss. It is written by a man who has discovered these secrets the hard way - through long years oF trial and error. Using the inFormation in this manual will allow you master the art and science oF losing body fat by a shorter and less costly route; by “modeling” those who have gone beFore you and learning from an expert. The primary goals oF this manual are to help you lose fat permanently without drugs, supplements or gimmicKs and to educate you in the process oF losing fat. In other words, my goal is to turn you into a “Fat loss expert”… to teach you the reasons why and help you to understand the process…and to do so without bias or ulterior motive. To achieve this goal, I decided - aFter careFul consideration - to selF publish and to write this booK in layman’s terms, with a minimum oF scientiFic jargon and without long lists oF scientiFic reFerences. Instead oF long, boring scientiFic discussions oF biochemistry – and instead oF long lists oF reFerences to scientiFic papers - you will find sprinKled throughout the manual, brieF mention oF interesting studies and quotes that are important and relevant to a point being made. This booK was written for you as a simple, yet detailed instruction manual. You get step- by-step instructions: Do this, don’t do that, eat this, don’t eat that, and so on. This is not just an inFormational booK – it is a complete system that will taKe you from where you are now to where you want to be – in the shortest possible period oF time. There are dozens oF outstanding booKs on the subjects oF nutrition and fat loss, but far too many oF them are mired down in technical details and scientiFic terminology that are either too diFFicult to understand or simply too damn boring. Many oF these booKs leave you with more questions than answers. You begin reading conFused and when you finish reading, you’re even more conFused. Others encode their writing into a cryptic jargon that can only be deciphered by fellow scientists and academicians. Sometimes I thinK bodybuilding, fitness and nutrition writers are more concerned with trying to impress and to receive the approval oF their academic peers than to help their readers achieve their goals. It never ceases to amaze me how some oF these writers can taKe a simple concept and maKe it sound mystical, complex, and a thousand times more conFusing than it really is. They would rather write, “Mr. AiKman propelled the prolate spheroid” instead oF, “Troy threw the football.” Maybe they do it unintentionally – they just have poor communication sKills. Or perhaps they do it on purpose so their reader remains conFused and continues to need the guru’s “help” and “advice” forever. AFter all, iF you learn how simple the process oF fat loss really is, you don’t need a “guru” anymore, do you? Michael LeboueF, a business consultant and author, once wrote, “A great deal oF what we read in medical, technical and academic documents is little more than the old proFessional snow job game - IF you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baFFle them with b.s. The purpose oF a great deal oF the jargon is to ensure the future oF the experts rather than the consumer.” My goal is not to please the establishment. IF my peers in the fitness industry don’t liKe this booK, that’s too bad! IF they want to criticize the lacK oF reFerences – bring it on. This booK is not for them. My only goal in writing this booK is to help you reach to your goals, to get you leaner than you’ve ever been beFore, and to clear up all your conFusion about fat-burning nutrition and training that may have held you bacK in the past. IF this booK helps you succeed in reaching your fat loss goals, then this booK is a success with or without accolades from the critics. This booK is for YOU and this booK is dedicated to YOU, the man or woman on the path oF personal development and the journey to a leaner body. Introduction This booK is written by a bodybuilder, but it’s not just for bodybuilders. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a gym veteran preparing for bodybuilding contest or you’ve never worKed out a day in your liFe. IF you want to lose body fat and Keep it oFF forever, without losing muscle, without slowing down your metabolism and without starvation, drugs or gimmicKs, then this booK is for you. IF you’re tired oF being given conFusing and conFlicting advice on exercise and nutrition and you want simple, but detailed answers to all your questions, then this booK is for you. IF you wish someone with integrity (someone who didn’t have a financial interest in the latest “miracle” supplement or stomach-reducing gadget) would share honest and unbiased inFormation about fat loss - then this booK is for you.

  • 'Freaky:' an Exploration of the Development of Dominant
    From ‘Classical’ To ‘Freaky:’ an Exploration of the Development of Dominant, Organised, Male Bodybuilding Culture Dimitrios Liokaftos Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London Submitted for the Degree of PhD in Sociology February 2012 1 Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Dimitrios Liokaftos Signed, 2 Abstract Through a combination of historical and empirical research, the present thesis explores the development of dominant, organized bodybuilding culture across three periods: early (1880s-1930s), middle (1940s-1970s), and late (1980s-present). This periodization reflects the different paradigms in bodybuilding that the research identifies and examines at the level of body aesthetic, model of embodied practice, aesthetic of representation, formal spectacle, and prevalent meanings regarding the 'nature' of bodybuilding. Employing organized bodybuilding displays as the axis for the discussion, the project traces the gradual shift from an early bodybuilding model, represented in the ideal of the 'classical,' 'perfect' body, to a late-modern model celebrating the 'freaky,' 'monstrous' body. This development is shown to have entailed changes in notions of the 'good' body, moving from a 'restorative' model of 'all-around' development, health, and moderation whose horizon was a return to an unsurpassable standard of 'normality,' to a technologically-enhanced, performance- driven one where 'perfection' assumes the form of an open-ended project towards the 'impossible.' Central in this process is a shift in male identities, as the appearance of the body turns not only into a legitimate priority for bodybuilding practitioners but also into an instance of sport performance in bodybuilding competition. Equally central, and related to the above, is a shift from a model of amateur competition and non-instrumental practice to one of professional competition and extreme measures in search of the winning edge.

  • The Bodybuilding Truth
    NELSON MONTANA THE BODYBUILDING TRUTH Dear friend and fellow athlete, Think you know about bodybuilding? Think again. If you really knew how to build the ultimate body in less than six months time, would you keep paying for more? More supplements? More personal training? More courses? More magazines? Would you keep spending your money on the deceptions, the product scams, the bogus supplements, and the false muscle building methods that the bodybuilding marketers propagate to line their pockets? The end result. Your bodybuilding progress is held back while the fat cats get rich. What if you knew the truth? What if someone were to blow the whistle on the con artists within the bodybuilding world and at the same time, share with you the secrets for packing on thick, dense muscle - fast! And burning off every last ounce of your bodyfat! Sounds unthinkable right? Well, the unthinkable has just happened. Every week I get at least one proposal from some self-appointed guru wanting us to publish his latest bodybuilding book. I read them, but never publish them, because basically, they're all worthless. However, the latest book by my friend Mr. Nelson Montana, titled The Bodybuilding Truth – Insider Secrets You're Not Supposed to Know, literally blew me away. And it blew away hundreds of ideas that I had accepted as truth for years about the sport of bodybuilding and exposed everything the bodybuilding marketers don't want you to know. Nelson Montana is an in your face kind of guy; he tells it like it is. A bodybuilding industry insider, Montana worked for Testosterone Magazine, but got fired because he refused to write an article touting ZMA, a fancy Zinc supplement, as the latest thing for muscle growth.

Boorstin, a well known historian and author, successfully argues that the first true pioneer of systematic modern exploration was Prince Henry The Navigator of Portugal. In the early 1400s under the leadership of Prince Henry, Portugal began a systematic exploration of unknown lands. This was accomplished by repeatedly sending out explorers. Each one ven- turing farther than the one before, then returned to report their findings to the mapmakers. These mapmakers then gradually constructed more accurate maps and built a foundation that allowed the explorers to venture still farther. This was the first organized cooperation between mapmaker and explorer. This book could never have been written if not for the unreasonable efforts of early explorers and mapmakers in bodybuilding. This book is dedicated to these early pioneers. Vince Gironda Bill Pearl John Grimek Arnold Swarzeneggar (of course) And the current pioneers: Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale Angel Spassov Yuri Verishonski Ivan Ivanov Also: A special thanks to Joe Weider for his untiring efforts to increase the awareness of bodybuilding around the world.

  • The Big Scoop Shawn Perine, Writer-At-Large For
    The Big Scoop Shawn Perine, writer-at-large for Flex magazine and creator of the informative and entertaining website, IronAge, requested a telephone interview for an upcoming article. We would set up a date for the conversation; Shawn would ask a series of exciting questions to which I would respond with equally exciting answers, all to be completed in 90 exciting minutes. Any sane person would have said, “Sure.” Not me. Instead, I sent the following letter. Dear Shawn, It’s a compliment to be interviewed and I appreciate the exposure and attention and the thought that someone might be interested in what I have to say. Truth is I’ve read too many over-the-phone taped dialogues in which I sound as provocative and enlightening and entertaining as an old plowhorse snortin’ in the barn. Try as I might, no expression or passion is conveyed without voice inflection, gestures or the use of the right words. Bright spontaneity is what you hope for and redundancy is what you get. “That’s what I said, yeah, but that’s not what I meant to say” is my agitated reaction to statements I throw out on tape. The truth hurts, I guess, and my on-the-spot articulation is for the birds. Plus, I am not fond of the phone and the anticipation of phone calls -- gives me hives, very itchy. Jeez, alright already, Bomber. With this in mind, let me mess with my keyboard instead. Hardcore muscle-builders are a strange lot. Excuse me, time to light the incense and chant..

  • The Lastinterview
    THE JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CULTURE December 2000 Volume 6 Number 4 The LastInterview As many IGH readers know, we’ve been working on a book about the cultural significance of Muscle Beach for the past several years. As part of our research for that book, we’ve interviewed many of the “regulars” of Muscle Beach. On 10 June 1999 we visited with Steve Reeves, and as far as we know, this was the last formal interview he ever gave. We met Steve at his horse ranch in southern California and taped him in the living room of his spacious Spanish-style ranchhouse. Present for the interview with us was Steve’s longtime companion, Deborah Englehorn Reeves. Steve was dressed in his work clothes— blue jeans, a short-sleeved work shirt, and a pair of well-worn boots. He was a wonderful host, proudly showing us his beautiful Morgan horses and the stable he had personally designed to house them. The day was warm and he was the picture of vigorous health—lean yet thick, with a youthful stride, that legendary face, a pair of hands and forearms that bespoke a lifetime of hard work, and the relaxed attitude of a man at peace with himself. —Jan and Terry Todd TT: Yesterday, when I spoke to Armand Tanny, he told me that he remembers very fondly the days you guys spent down there at Muscle Beach and he said he has a pretty clear memory of the first time he ever saw you. He knew who you were. Maybe he’d seen a photograph of you when you were still a teenager and so when he saw you come to the Beach that first time, he recognized who you were.

  • The Roark Report: Gyms of the Past
    IRON GAME HISTORY VOLUME 2 NUMBER 3 THE ROARK REPORT Gyms of the Past Remember the enchantment of walking into a gym 20 or more years ago? There, in place, were barbells and dumbells that were incremented in reasonable poundages, lat machines made with professional parts, benches that did not wobble. And friendship. In those days, gyms often held Grand Openings, but, of course, not Grand Closings. While the start of a new gym may have been announced in the muscle mags, the failures were not billboarded. Therefore, since the sources used to produce the following list of gyms were primarily drawn from the pages of various magazines in the field, only the startings of some gyms are recorded here. Endings have trailed into vagueness. You can help us define the histories of these and other gyms. The list which follows is very incomplete, but with your help it can become more accurate and double or triple in length and substance. If you have any information about these or other gyms in North America during this century—any brochure, newspaper clipping, photo, or personal recollection—please share them with IGH and we will try to gather even more information about these other gyms. Again, please do not assume that we have information just because you have it. You may have a rare bit of documentation. Any help will be welcomed. Study this list, and remember. Then remember to help us. Joe Roark American College of Modern Weightlifting Vern Bickel & Jim Booker: Mid-American Al Christensen’s 212 Chittenden St., Akron, Ohio Studio 2121 S.

He is, by far, one of the most unique individuals I've ever met. Mike Mentzer (former I.F.B.B.

He does not lightly Although Arthur Jones loved his coffee and cigarettes, he loved resistance training, too, and he practiced it in his exchange words.

  • 2010Year-In-Review
    Mission The USAWA was formed to continue the long standing tradition of old-time weightlifters like Eugen Sandow, Louis Cyr, Arthur Saxon, Hermann Goerner, Warren Lincoln Travis, and many others. We strive to preserve the history of the original forms of weightlifting, which in the past has been referred to as ―odd lifting‖. Many of the lifts we perform are based on stage acts or challenge lifts of old-time strongmen. History The USAWA was organized in 1987 and was a charter member of the International All-Round Weightlifting Association. The USAWA has over 150 recognized lifts and 8000 plus records, so any strength athlete can find their niche. We have a drug testing program to encourage drug free lifting. Numerous local meets and a National competition are held each year to find true ―all-round‖ weightlifters.
