The Darth Vader of bodybuilding,
By Joseph P. Nicholson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joe Weider's Bodybuilding System (Paperback)
Joe Weider destroyed bodybuilding. Prior the rise of the Weider empire, and the drugs and mis-information that are a huge part of it, bodybuilding was a healthy endeavor. Before the early 1960's bodybuilders actually got big and stayed big for deacdes without drugs. Training programs were sensable and healthy. A guy like Grimek or Clancy Ross could compete at a natural 220 lbs., look great for deacades and live to a ripe old age. Weider and the drug culture that he promoted ruined all that. Weider created a system where the only way to win was to get bigger and bigger year after year. Of course this means taking more and more drugs. All the while Weider is raking in the cash while guys like Andreas Munzer and Mohammed Benaziza (sp?) died horrible deaths chasing down that Sandow trophy. Their blood is on Weiders hands. To all the young guns tempted by Weider and the glossy magazines (muscle comics), realize this.....it's all an illusion. You can't have what you see is those ridiculous magazines. There is nothing in those magazines that is going to help you in any way. They exist solely to sell suppliments that you don't even need. There is a better way. Forget Weider and the fantasy he sells. Study the ways of the old timers who got big before drugs were even available. They got big and stayed big. They were as strong as they looked. They were as mentally healthy as they were physically healthy. They didn't wind up killing themselves like DeMayo, or killing others like Bertil Fox or Craig Titus. There was a Golden Age of bodybuilding that existed before you or I were even born. Ironically, this is the only time that Joe Weider, himself, ever had ANY muscle. Back then men got big by using what worked and scrapping what was nonsense. These days no one is getting big. Forget Weider and the unatainable fantasy he sells. Work towards something that you can actually achieve.

The Yoda of Bodybuilding,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Joe Weider's Bodybuilding System (Paperback)
There are several Ben Kenobis out there, of which Arnold Schwarznegger is certainly one; but who trained the master? It was none other than Joe Weider, of whom I would call the 'Master Yoda of Bodybuilding'. And it's possible that you could still buy this book from musclestuff-dot-com even though Amazon has it listed as 'out of stock'. This is not so much a book as it is more of a 'kit' that includes at least six diagrams depicting various routines that you are to follow during the first six months of weight training. I would get those charts laminated and ring-holed. The instructional kit is most assuredly more informative and helpful than that what you might receive with the purchase of your weight-lifting equipment. Joe covers all the angles and issues involved with heavy-duty weight-training: the very real risk of chronic fatigue, preparing for a contest, or simply cycle-training for a life time of weightlifting for the non-competitor. There are also suggested routines for various sports--which are only to be followed after at least six months of carefully constructed routines and procedures for the beginner. There is even a chapter on dieting to lose weight or 'cut up'. So don't let the glossy photos of various steroid-pumped models fool you. His methods are time-proven and they work for even the average 'Joe'. Forgive me for being possibly tasteless, but I still have the purple stretch marks on my upper arms from ten years ago to prove it. Even if I no longer have the bulk to back it all up. Here's hoping I can care-ful-ly pick up where I left off so many years ago with a more recent edition of this book that was re-published in the year 2000. I was younger and more impatient ten years ago...hence I didn't read the older version of his book completely *grins sheepishly*. Hopefully 10 years has made me a little wiser...which is why I'm on my second complete re-read of the kit. I think that's good advice for anybody. Read this one not once, not twice, but six times before you pick up that famously empty and weightless barbell/dumbbell. Don't know what I mean by that? Buy this kit and find out. Peace Out |
