You see, at a time not too long ago (60 years and earlier) the world was a less electronic, digital, robotic, and stress-filled world.
Manual labor was the norm. Automobile, steel, and other industry-related factories demanded more muscle power from workers than they do today. A day at work was physical and demanding. It was an exercise!
Guys who wanted to get bigger and stronger needed to train with weights. They needed to lift weights and eat healthier foods.
What did you do?
They did what all the toughest, most muscular men (then they were drug free) were doing and had been doing for 100 years. They trained with weights with a proven and timed result and training program and diet.
And it worked: These guys got bigger, stronger, and better looking without all the cardio and weight training equipment. There was no “magic bullet for energy or muscle building” to waste your money on. Just solid, basic and simple training methods that produce results.
There were no special “man cave, cave woman, Italian, Greek, NASA, low fat, high fat, eat breakfast, no breakfast” diets at the time.
The diet consisted of eating lots of clean, healthy, natural and varied foods and you will build muscle diet. Train hard and stay away from junk food and you will lose body fat. There’s no need to live like a hamster in a cardio lifestyle on wheels.
Yes, there have been improvements in some of these areas of fitness, but if you take the time and google these men, Vic Tanny, Jack Lalanne, Eugene Sandow to name a few, and look at their photos, you’ll see that they haven’t. they are just robust. Muscular, lean and handsome men, but also healthy and who didn’t live in the gym or spend all their time measuring every ounce of food they put in their mouths.
It was when I left the “Muscle and Fiction” magazines that had all the glossy pictures of Arnold, Franco, Lou and other superstars of the day and picked up the real “how to build muscle and lose fat” magazines that I switched. my physique so much that people accused me of using drugs. In a world where everyone wants “instant results” with “minimal work,” it’s easy to see why people fall for the oldest tricks in the world of health and muscle building.
Get off the “hamster wheel” of hyped commercial programs and on your way to overly successful muscle, strength and health!
