| old bodybuilding books: Muscle Samuel Wilson Fussell, 2015-03-31 From skinny scholar to muscle-bound showman. “Easily the best memoir ever written about weight training, steroids and all” (Men’s Journal). When blue-blooded, storklike Samuel Wilson Fussell arrived in New York City fresh from the University of Oxford, the ethereal young graduate seemed like the last person on Earth who would be interested in bodybuilding. But he was intimidated by the dangers of the city—and decided to do something about it. At twenty-six, Fussell walked into the YMCA gym. Four solid years of intensive training, protein powders, and steroid injections later, he had gained eighty pounds of pure muscle and was competing for bodybuilding titles. And yet, with forearms like bowling pins and calves like watermelons, Fussell felt weaker than ever before. His punishing regimen of workouts, drugs, and diet had reduced him to near-infant-like helplessness and immobility, leaving him hungry, nauseated, and prone to outbursts of “ ’roid rage.” But he had come to succeed, and there was no backing down now. Alternately funny and fascinating, Muscle is the true story of one man’s obsession with the pursuit of perfection. With insight, wit, and refreshing candor, Fussell ushers readers into the wild world of juicers and gym rats who sacrifice their lives, minds, bodies, and souls to their dreams of glory in Southern California’s so-called iron mecca. |

| old bodybuilding books: Pumping Iron Charles Gaines, George Butler, 2022-11-19 WHO ARE THEY AND WHY DO THEY DO IT? –these men who dedicate themselves to building bodies like Hellenistic statues; who crisscross the world competing for titles as grandiose yet as publicly uncelebrated (Mr. America, Mr. Universe, Mr. Olympia) as their gargantuan physiques; whose daily lives are as rigidly defined and regulated by their obsession to mold the ideal body as any other master athlete's is towards perfecting his craft. Yet, rather than the public acclaim that normally follows an athletic triumph, only their fellow muscle men know who they are and know the price they have paid to win their incredible bodies. Novelist Charles Gaines and photographer George Butler have spent the last two years trying to capture the essence of this strange, joyful, exotic world: “We have been to quite a few places tracking bodybuilders, seeing contests and putting together the materials here. If we felt at times a little like 19th-century explorers –like Doughty, perhaps, off trekking through Arabia –it was because we found bodybuilding to be as primeval and unmapped as parts of Labrador. Nobody, we discovered, had been back into it to send a report on what it was like. This struck us then as peculiar, and it still does. |

| old bodybuilding books: Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy Brad J. Schoenfeld, 2016-06-24 Muscle hypertrophy—defined as an increase in muscular size—is one of the primary outcomes of resistance training. Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is a comprehensive compilation of science-based principles to help professionals develop muscle hypertrophy in athletes and clients. With more than 825 references and applied guidelines throughout, no other resource offers a comparable quantity of content solely focused on muscle hypertrophy.

Although muscle hypertrophy can be attained through a range of training programs, this text allows readers to understand and apply the specific responses and mechanisms that promote optimal muscle hypertrophy in their athletes and clients. It explores how genetic background, age, sex, and other factors have been shown to mediate the hypertrophic response to exercise, affecting both the rate and the total gain in lean muscle mass.

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy is an invaluable resource for strength and conditioning professionals seeking to maximize hypertrophic gains and those searching for the most comprehensive, authoritative, and current research in the field. |

Comprised of secrets and innovative techniques established by the most bright Old-School bodybuilders of the Golden Era, this premium handbook offers all the tools you need to achieve superhero levels of muscularity and strength- through a ketovore/carnivore style of eating full of nutrient-rich animal foods. Strict adherence to the Vintage Physique protocol will lead to a lean, muscular, functional and athletic body, but without the gas, bloating, indigestion, blood sugar problems and energy crashes caused by high-carb consumption.Components:Nutrition: A heavy animal-based/carnivorous diet regime based on high quality, bioavailable fats and protein- Lots of red meat, eggs, fatty fish, and raw dairy. Depending on the person's tolerance, small amounts of gut-friendly, easy-to-digest sources of carbohydrates MAY be included. Their use is solely intended to replace electrolytes (potassium, magnesium) and glycogen stores lost during intense exercise. Smaller meals with a higher eating frequency are recommended to ease off the load on the digestive system and ensure proper nutrient absorption, especially protein.Training: High-intensity, full-body lifting sessions and zero cardio.Supplements: Includes specific brand recommendations to protect your hard-earned money and health. The most important supplements of the protocol are:1) Glandular extracts to maximize hormone and androgen production.2) Vitamin D for strong bones and teeth, a healthy immune system and good mental health, especially during the winter months.3) HCL tablets and Digestive Enzymes to optimize digestion and nutrient absorption. |
