Last night I found an old York Barbell and Dumbbell System training manual in my basement. It was the first program I did, back in '93. Based on the photos (one dated 1962), I believe it’s probably from around the 60s. Also, the nutrition book recommended was published in 1954. [York] Here are …

[image] Tougher: Does anyone else around here have any old programs Speaking my language, brother. Ha. I’m working my way towards collecting all the books I I can from superstrengthbooks .com. Reg Park’s Strength & Bulk Training for Weight Lifters and Body Builders popularizing 5x5 was publi…

Sounds better than many current programs aside from the room temp milk of course. Not all old stuff is outdated as far as training goes. My uncle gave me a couple of his books one of which was called “Power” by Fred Hatfield. I don’t think I used the actual program, but this 1980s book had info o…

[image] Chris_Colucci: I’m working my way towards collecting all the books I I can from superstrengthbooks .com That’s awesome. I just found that site when I was trying to see if I could find the book I have online. Mine’s lost the back cover and the front is just loose on top of the rest o…

That’s awesome! I’ll have to take a read through it. Even if knowledge has evolved over the decades, I find all the old stuff really interesting and usually find a lot more that I agree with or can learn from than I disagree with. I don’t think anyone starting out could go wrong with one of those…

Ha ha, just as a coincidence, I actually have a room temp milk/whey shake while training. It’s only 1.5 cups of milk, though, and the rest water, so I’m not sure how a quart would go down…

This was great. It came with a Weider barbell set. 2 hrs or so. 1 day off 2 I think. [cbe15f9f510bd2dd10cdbf4ffad692c9]

I love to see old stuff that’s still around. If people have been doing it for 50-60 years, it must be good! It’s also cool to see an article or two from the great lifters of the past, especially guys like Paul Anderson who were way ahead of their time.

Hi there. I’m new to this forum, well, all forums really. Just kinda going down memory lane and got to thinking of my first experience with weights. I used my very first paycheck to purchase a bench and the York Barbell/Dumbell weight set. It came with this book and the four posters; courses 1 t…

When I was 16 in 1977 i used this exact program. I became strong as an ox. Please, buy your teenagers the York V160. Or if you’re older, buy it for yourself. At 16/17, these workouts were the highlight of my day. Anyways, at 62, ive just repurchased the weight set i started on 46 years ago. Wish me…

The guy who does this blog transcribes old articles from weight training magazines. There’s stuff on there from the 40’s all the way up to pretty current.
