“I don't believe in bodybuilders using steroids. If a man doesn't have enough male hormones in his system to create a nice hard, muscular body, he should take up ping pong.”
-Steve Reeves
This book is filled with quotes and timeless, invaluable advice from pre-steroid era bodybuilders such as Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Clancy Ross, John Grimek, Jack Lalanne, Vince Gironda, and several others.
Imagine Walking into a small, dark and dingy gym in 1950.
There was no such thing as anabolic steroids. They weren't invented yet and didn't show up in bodybuilding until the early 1960s.
At that time, there was also no such thing as the internet, where inexperienced, 19 year old steroid users could sell an endless amount of garbage information called something like "The Extreme Freakishly Massive Monster Revolutionary 2 Week Mass Program."
Yet, inside this 1950 gym, there are strong, manly men with amazing, "classic" physiques that are reminiscent of ancient Greek statues. Men like Steve Reeves and John Grimek possessed the kind of physiques we now consider to not only be classic, but also healthy, real, balanced, and inspirational!
How did these men build those bodies?
In this book, wise and legendary men of the past will tell you how...in their own words.
These legends of the pre-steroid era share with you the wisdom, training principles and techniques they used to build their bodies- all straight from their mouths (or more accurately, their old school typewriters).
In this book, you will learn:
*13 principles of sculpting a classic physique
*Several program methods favored by the legends
*Which exercises should make up the bulk of your training
*What techniques they often added to their programs
*A simple and effective way to structure your yearly muscle building program
*Simple nutrition advice from he legends
How to Sculpt the Classic Physique was written in hopes of sharing the wisdom these amazing men had learned in their years in the gym and aimed to share with you through their writings, allowing you to also achieve the classic physique.
All it takes is proper knowledge, a dedicated effort in weight training, nutritious food and proper rest- and you can do it as they did: without the need of dangerous steroids or even modern day supplements.
Be careful about labeling this book as a "bodybuilding book," for it is not really about bodybuilding as we have come to know it today. This book is really about sculpting the "classic physique."
