@Fadi; are you familiar with the likes of Brooks Kubik? Peary Rader? John Grimek? Doug Hepburn?
All guys who were jacked. All guys did abbreviated style training. (As opposed to lots and lots of reps).
A little off topic, and perhaps we need an old school strength building thread? But just wanted to mention it in contrast to the gruelling experiment im very interested in seeing you complete.

I've already started a thread here: Golden era bodybuildging thread, welcome!and perhaps we need an old school strength building thread?

Lol. Jacked as in well built my friend. And yes, natural athletes. I tend to look at these guys mostly rather than modern huge ****s for the reason of knowing that they were natural, rather than having to believe it.What does "jacked" mean?
if it means chemically enhanced these dudes where not.
Grimek was one of the strongest men in his time, from speaking to the old crew was unbelievably muscular when standing next to him.

Who caresThey may have been jacked but were they tanned ??? ;-)
I would suggest you have a read of some of Brooks Kubik's work, I think you may find his concepts and reasoning for doing stuff interesting.I'm familiar (only with the name and not with their training methodology) of John Grimek and Peary Rader. I haven't heard of the other two gentlemen.
Yeah they are a good read. Ive always been in favour of the simplistic approachs to trainingI would suggest you have a read of some of Brooks Kubik's work, I think you may find his concepts and reasoning for doing stuff interesting.

I enjoyed reading his book 'Dinosaur Training' and I m not a big book reader.
PS good luck in your experiment, I will be following with interest.
Yes higher reps are the way to go for a natural bodybuilder. I say this because as I've said before, we are as strong as our nervous system, beyond that of our musculature system. How can I say that? Based on my knowledge of the subject and my experience with both Olympic weightlifting and bodybuilding, I know for certain that our nervous system feeds our muscular system and not the other way around. That means my muscles are dependent and are responders to, instead of initiators or precipitators of a muscle contraction; and we all know that in a muscle contraction is where it all begins.@Fadi you mention above the use of PED's when talking about types of training and natural vs enhanced. Are you saying that higher reps are the way to go for a natural bodybuilder and why do you believe this ?
Thank you for the info and for your interest Big Man.I would suggest you have a read of some of Brooks Kubik's work, I think you may find his concepts and reasoning for doing stuff interesting.

I'm all for natural also Tim. Sorry I mistook your word "jacked" to mean enhanced..., my bad strong man.Lol. Jacked as in well built my friend. And yes, natural athletes.

Thank you Rob. And sorry for calling you Simon...more than once I think. I wish you a top weekend Sir.Thanks for taking the time the write a detailed response, it did make sense to me (maybe my brain is as much all over the place as yours !). Good luck again with your experiment this weekend, looking forward to hearing how it goes. Rob
