REC, New JFF Kindle and MAEX, Vintage Mags

 At the Resistance Exercise Conference this March, I'll present a Table Talk on "Exercise Designs/Healthy Shoulders." Video link to come.

I'm also a "Writer's Table Sponsor" (the writer being me), where I'll have links to the upcoming Joint-Friendly Fitness: Chest & Shoulders kindle and reissue of Moment Arm Exercise. 

I'll also have some classic muscle magazines to show and sell. This comes from the 150 or so items (1920s-1971) at Dr. Wonder's Comics and Collectibles in Cranbury NJ (contact info below) that I'm helping catalog and sell.

I'll at least bring:

  • Iron Man Dec 1970-Jan 1971, cover: Arnold, with two articles by Arthur Jones: Size Incompatible With Muscles? and Distance-Resistance-Speed.
  • Iron Man May 1971, two articles by Jones: Second Look at the Final Breakthru, and And Then the Bomb. Multiple Nautilus ads: Franchises (half page text), Pullover (2 pages text), Arm (full page, photo and text), Leg and Lower Back (2/3 page text).
  • Muscular Development April 1971, Casey cover and profile by "Art" Jones (4 pages text plus photos).
  • Isometric Exercises: for figure improvement and body conditioning 1964.
  • The Medico-Mechanical Equipment of Doctor Zander Museum Boerhaave, 1989.

Here is a partial list of the items. The Vintage Muscle Mags website has scans of covers (although most of these have not yet been submitted to their email list as yet.)

Visual Essay for Roger Schwab, "Training Mike Mentzer for the 1980 Olympia"

Image
                                                                                                         from Elanna Schwab's Facebook post Introduction by  Bill DeSimone I was a huge fan of Mike Mentzer from 1976-1983 or so-at least, the version presented in the muscle magazines then. My impression of him had a great influence on my training, my instruction, and other parts of life (although I now regard his story as a cautionary tale). I still get a burst of motivation when I look at those articles and pictures, even though I've gone from thinking his writing was particularly enlightened to realizing it's my nostalgia for the time. Roger Schwab, as a long-time weight tra...

Exercise Designs and Keeping Your Shoulders Healthy

Image
Introduction: context. Keeping your shoulders healthy can depend on your age, prior activity/injuries, genetics...but your exercise selection can make it worse. Even HIT favorites. Tip 1. "Touchdown." If you keep your overhead presses and pulls in this plane and range, you do a lot towards keeping your shoulders healthy.  Exercises. Brand names will be mentioned, but the point is what the designs ask of your body, not to praise or damn the brand or the writers. But with 40 years experience and observation and as a former patient, and easier access to information than 40 years ago, I see no good reason to avoid examining what we do in our workouts. Old Nautilus Double Shoulder, Side Raise. Concern at the "top" of the motion: impingement. Complex fixes:   Joseph Horrigan in 1990s Iron Man magazine. At times, Bodymasters and Cybex used this in their Side Raise designs. Nautilus from Ellington Darden's books. Medx brochure. Two on the left don't allow for exter...

Dr. Darden's Evitagen* Elixir

Image
I first heard of Ellington Darden in the late 1970s.  Through the muscle magazines, I was a big fan of Mike Mentzer (or at least his photos and bylines), and he would periodically drop Dr. Darden’s name in his articles. One day in a sporting goods store I stumbled upon this: Which was nothing short of outstanding.  Keep in mind, the late ‘70s, no internet, no cable, no ebooks, no Amazon, no fitness wing in a warehouse-sized book store; there was not a lot in print on exercise, much less strength training.  The most accessible information was the muscle magazines, most of which were in the porn section of the newspaper stand.  Bad enough you had to buy these things in public, then you actually tried to read them.  Anything with Muscle in the title (Muscle Builder, Muscle Power, Muscle Builder/Power, Muscle Training Illustrated, Muscular Development, Muscle and Fitness, Muscle Ad Nauseum) was generally pretty cheesy reading, with the occas...
