It is obviously tamed down for the masses and contradicts some of the other more spartan advice I have read or heard in interviews over the years. I had entertained hopes of learning what his $10,000 workout challenge was like, or training strategies to get to 1,000 pullups, or did he really have a bad shoulder that he had cortisone shots for while constantly training till it got better, etc.

Good book for beginners.

Here's that link. He does not overtly recommend it for others, but that seems to be his angle and he does it himself. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (workforcewarrior) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1561 Sat, 19 Dec 2009 09:16:50 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1560/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1560

LInk to interview with Marvin Eder. Here s a quote:

Health was never divorced from my training. I would never, under any circumstance, consider the use of any kind of artificial drug to stimulate my muscle growth. What's going on now is a nightmare, an obscenity. And in a way I hope the whole thing just disappears, that it should be wiped off the face of the earth but it is just getting worse and worse all the time.

and:

What I am most proud of is when I began training I sometimes didn't even have a gym to workout in. Sometimes I used to workout in a local playground in the freezing cold outside on the dipping and chinning bars. There was no gym, and then again I didn't ever really have the money to join a gym. That was something I... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (bigcracker) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1534 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:31:49 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1523/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1523 feeds@kickapps.com (M BOB WHELAN) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1523 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:19:20 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1522/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1522 feeds@kickapps.com (M BOB WHELAN) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1522 Fri, 19 Mar 2032 15:59:41 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1521/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1521 feeds@kickapps.com (M BOB WHELAN) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1521 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:39:45 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1520/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1520

All throughout history man had waited for the arrival of the "Mythical Strongest Man in the World." Many strong men had filled the venues of the hallowed grounds of the Iron game, but the man that set the strength world on notice in the early 1950's was the one and only, MARVIN EDER. Marvin has long been recognized by the experts the world over as the greatest pound for pound natural strength athlete to wear the crown of "World's Strongest Man." His incredible power along with a world class physique set him apart from other men of his era. He had tremendous natural gifts, thick joints, great leverage, all his lifting was done way before the era of drugs. Marvin's strength feats were almost super human, he was able to surpass the efforts of almost all super-heavies of the time, weighing only 196-198... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (M BOB WHELAN) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1520 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 23:23:10 PST http://naturalstrength.net/reply/1519/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html#reply-1519 Jack Lalanne has a newer book out "Live Young Forever". Over 200 pages, with over 50 pages on weight training, and I'm sure plenty of inspiration and healthy living advice.

No rush, but if you get bored some day, I would love to read some facts on Marvin Eder. I think I read that he could dip with over 300 lbs.

Now if you want a REAL enigma, I know of one its MARVIN EDER. Marvin trained with extremely high volume before drugs. Marvin was one of the strongest men to ever walk the planet and maybe THE STRONGEST pound for pound. He is still training hard and is healthy and living in the New York area. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (M BOB WHELAN) http://naturalstrength.net/sreply/1509 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:38:56 PST http://naturalstrength.net/topic/642/t/Jack-LaLanne-Enigma.html
My thoughts on what helps him do this, plus live a happy, energetic life is that he absolutely believes in what he does, and maybe some heavy duty nutritional supplementation. Though I'm not a big supplementer, he said that that was a big part of what helped him do such stunts as 1,000 pullups.

Do you think the average Joe, if he firmly believed in what he was doing, was... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (workforcewarrior) http://naturalstrength.net/topic/642 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:32:10 PST
