If you want a way of training that is so effective it’s hard not to find yourself stronger and more in shape (a lot of the time scant few months after starting) you’d do well to take your cue from the so called “Silver Era” of bodybuilding.
Now, I make no bones about the fact I dislike the “sport” of bodybuilding greatly. At least what it has become since probably the 1980s and certainly the parade of mental illness it is today.
However, it wasn’t always like that (although the seeds were certainly visible for those with eyes to see them).
Quite the contrary, the bodybuilders of the 1940s and 50s, in the main, advocated smart methods of training (and eating) alongside good, old fashioned virtuous living for a sustainable and wildly effective way to get a healthy, fit, strong, and aesthetically pleasing body…
… all without so much as looking at dangerous steroids or other so called “performance enhancing” drugs (because most of them hadn’t been invented yet, and those that had didn’t see widespread use outside of elite athletics).
The absence of pharma is a large part of why the old school way of training works so well. Because when you can’t cheat your way to glory by pumping yourself full of goodness knows what, your only choice is to use the most productive exercises, allow plenty of time for recuperation, exercise in a way unlikely to cause injury, and eat properly.
Problem is, many of the methods and techniques used by the titans of the Silver Era are now “forgotten wisdom”, with what few teachings that remain having been irreparably polluted by the explosion of PED abuse.
It’s largely why a great many earnest and hardworking folk who are trying to stick to the proven basics find themselves stuck in their mud, spinning their wheels for months and sometimes years on end, in my opinion.
Whatever the case.
I teach what I believe to be a “pure” version of the old school ways in my appropriately named course:
“Silver Era Secrets”
It’s unusual in that the material is delivered via three Real Paper handbooks (one per month for three months).
However, this means you’ve got all the information forever (unlike digital material is only available as long as the seller stays in business – or, worse, for some arbitrary time limit) so you can continue using it to make modest yet compounding progress for many years to come (I’ve clients who tell me they are still using it over a year after we parted ways, for what it’s worth).
You’ll get all the usual coaching input you’d expect from an online personal training offer as well (not to mention a complementary subscription to my Real Paper newsletter for even more tools to swell your “training toolbox”).
