How Did the Old-timers Do It?


Note:

I posted this in February, 2015 and have updated
it  with links to our new e-books on Kindle. Note
that we are releasing Knife, Fork, Muscle as a
series of Kindle e-books. Book one in the series
covers your best sources of high-quality protein --
a critical issue for anyone interested in building
strength, muscle and power. Other books in the
series will be coming out shortly.

We also have a total of three books in the Dinosaur
Training Secrets series -- all of which are available
in your choice of hard-copy or Kindle e-book.

Original Post:

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

One of our Canadian Dinos asked a question
about the old-time champions.

Actually, it was two questions.

"How did the old-timers get to be so strong?"

and

"How did the old-timers build such amazing
physiques?"

He noted that men like Sandow, Maxick, Bobby
Pandour, Otto Arco, Klein, etc. were incredibly hard
and muscular -- with muscular definition and
density that rivals any modern-day bodybuilder.

"What was their secret?" he asked.

Well, the first part of the answer is their training --
which I cover in all of my books and courses.

The old-timers trained for strength -- which is
how they got to be so strong AND how they
developed such impressive physiques.

But there's another piece to the puzzle.

The old-timers ate much diferently than we do
today.

And frankly, they ate much better than most of
us -- even those of us who try to be careful with
our diets.

One of the reasons why they ate better was that
they ate fresh, natural, chemical-free food.

Today, we would call it "organic" food.

Organic food is better for you because it contains
more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.

But just as importantly -- and perhaps more
importantly -- organic food is better for you
because of what it does NOT contain:

Organic food does NOT contain:

1. GMO's

2. Chemicals

3. Antibiotics

4. Anabolic steroids and other hormones
that have an estrogenic effect on the human
body (meaning that they reduce testosterone
levels and raise estrogen levels)

And here's the interesting thing.

Ever since we began mass-producing our food
and including all of the things in the above list
in what we put on our plates and into our bodies,
we've been growing bigger and fatter -- to the
point where obesity is almost the new norm.

The old-timers never put a plateload of
chemicals on their dinner-table -- and they
tended to be smaller, leaner, much more
muscular and much stronger pound for
pound than modern trainees.

I think that's one reason why Sandow,
Maxick, Pandour, Arco and Klein were so
incredibly strong -- and so well-developed.

They grew up eating chemical-free food.

Their bodies never had to battle the
estrogenizing effect of the modern diet.

I cover this issue in detail in Knife, Fork,
Muscle -- along with plenty of other critical
issues about diet and nutrition for building
strength and muscle -- for staying lean and
muscular -- and for promoting life-long
good health.

It's a terrific book. Many readers have said
it's the best book they ever read about diet
and nutrition.

Go here to grab a copy -- and treat yourself
to something very special and very
empowering:
