how did pre-steroid era bodybuilders train?
I'm extremely curios what the training and the diets of pre-1950's bodybuilders looked like. Men like Steve Reevers, Armand Tanny, etc..
Anybody have any clue? |

Lots of food, lots of basic compound exercises. Read "Super Squats" - it's a great book that really illustrates a lot of those fundamental ideas.

Total body workouts. Heavy compound lifting.
Super Squats, Dinasour Training, and Brawn are all excellent recourses into the way that training was; and should be. Milo Strength Journal from Ironmind.com is also an excellent resource of information on training ideas both old and new. |

OK. I've already read SuperSquats (and survived a grueling program of heavy 20rep squat sets!) so just ordered Dinosaur Training, Brawn and Beyond Brawn. Maybe, if I get the urge, I'll write some book reviews in the IM (Recommended Reading...) thread soon too.
Thanks PF. |
