8. The Rader Master Bodybuilding and Weight Gaining System
By Peary Rader, the founder of Iron Man magazine, and it's editor and publisher for 50 years. A 48 page booklet with many photos.
This is my personal copy, purchased when I was in high school more than 40 years ago. I've probably read it a dozen times. It is an original copy as sold by Peary Rader and Iron Man Industries, not a modern reprint edition. It is in good condition, with slight yellowing on the first and last inside pages (apparently caused by contact with the cover of the booklet, which is yellow). I'm selling it now because I have another copy, and someone may enjoy having my personal copy from the Dinosaur Training Research Library.
This booklet gives you a detailed course in Peary Rader's breathing squat program for rapid gains in strength and muscle mass. It also covers a variety of specialization programs, including some very effective Dino-style abbreviated programs. Many believe it's one of the best all-around courses ever written.
And don't forget - Peary Rader gained almost 100 pounds of muscle in two years on the breathing squat program that he outlines in this course!

"Most trainees don't want that bloated, drug-induced look of a modern pro bodybuilder. They'd much rather have that chiseled, athletic look of the Golden-Age Mr. Americas - such as Steve Reeves, Boyer Coe and Casey Viator. I've taken those lost techniques of the masters - added today's science - and created the new bodybuilding for old-school results."
