Achieving Total MuscularityBook by Steve Davis

We’re very proud and excited to present a terrific book by one of the greatest classical bodybuilders of all time, Steve Davis. Achieving Total Muscularity is a complete volume that tells you in detail how to train for the unique brand of symmetry, proportion, aesthetics and definition that made Steve’s physique one of the sensations of the 1970s and after. The book contains a wealth of Steve’s hard earned knowledge, and while it was written with the information he gained from the 70s and the 80s, the book, just as Steve’s physique, was and is still ahead of its time.

Finally, in the midwest and other usually colder areas of the country, spring is starting to happen. Well, maybe not yet, as we have another storm looming. But spring is coming. Sometime.  While this was one of the worst winters in the midwest, it won't necessarily mean that our early spring will be warm. Unfortunately, nature's not always fair.  But sometime it's going to warm up. So when the weather changes for the better in three-fourths of the country, it might be time to change your workouts. You can do things that take advantage of the warmer weather coming.
 
1. Get Outside   
   

GO!!

Get OutsideFor most of us who’ve been bundled up and inside in the winter and early spring, it’s time to get outdoors. Okay, so maybe we’re not lifting outside at Muscle Beach in Venice, but you might be getting outside doing something physical and fun in addition to your weight training. And that’s a good thing. Whether you’re walking, running, riding a bike, playing golf or kicking a soccer ball around, some physical activity other than the weights is always good, and it’s doubly good if it’s outside. You can breathe better, your skin and body will breathe better and thank you for it. Plus it can be a pleasant way to add to your conditioning.

Vince Gironda—the name resounds throughout bodybuilding, still. This accomplished bodybuilder and master trainer left a wealth of ideas and methods on training and nutrition that still has relevance today. Though many of Vince’s concepts are known, they’re often not well understood.

That’s where this little book comes in. Originally written as two separate articles on Gironda’s training and nutrition, they’ve been combined due to readers’ requests. This modest volume of concentrated material gives a condensed introduction of Vince’s principles on training and nutrition for beginning bodybuilders, yet there are also surprising insights on Vince’s methods and ways to apply them even for advanced bodybuilders.

     So you want to make the team?  You’ve seen the others out on the field on crisp, cool, autumn nights, clashing in their one hundred yard pit, and you want some of this.  You want to be a part of this—you need to be a part of it—and if someone has to ask you why, well, they just don’t understand.  Oh, you’ve got it bad.  You want to make the team.  

     The good news is you can.  These guys are—or were, at one time—just like you.  But maybe you’re thinking, “ah, I’m not like them.  I’m not good enough.”  Stop!  Don’t think that.  Maybe you’re not as good as they are right now, but the good news is you can do something—maybe an awful lot—about it.  Whether athletes are born or made is not as important as the reality that you can always put in the effort to get better, you can improve.  The good news is you can work at it, and that good news can pay off. 

     Where you are right now, you’re not quite sure how to proceed.  You know what you want, but you don’t know how to get there.   You’ve not played organized football, and you know you need to work on some things before you can even try out for the team.  You’ve played sports informally, but you haven’t lifted weights and you can tell that strength is one of the things you need for football, and you’d feel a lot better about trying out if you could get stronger, for sure, and maybe bigger, too.  So how does a beginner start?

Randy Roach has done it yet again. In his new book, “Comebacks,” which is the first book in Volume III of his “Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors” saga, he has achieved a minor bodybuilding masterpiece.

The book follows the 1980 and 1981 Mr. Olympia contests, or more precisely, the firestorm that surrounded the returns to competition of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu and their controversial, unpopular wins.

To those that remember these contests and the events that surrounded them, they’ll recall the highly emotionally charged times they were. Everybody had their favorite alternative winners: Dickerson, Mentzer, Coe, Platz, etc. While most bodybuilders, fans and observers of the sport have a variety of opinions as to what and why things happened, most felt it was one of the darkest times in the sport. Simply put, the bodybuilding world by and large thought the two contest verdicts were outrageous; the popular belief was that the outcomes were pre-determined. Yes, that means fixed.
