ok…don’t flame me, alright! i just want to know if there is a personal training course that is “better” than others. I’m looking for one in canada.
also, i know i can get flamed for this next part too, so...but i was just on mesomorphosis...i had no idea that bill roberts was involved with them (or are you? 'cause you sure got a lot of articles there) anyway, i read the stuff for hours! Great work mr. bill! you always give me something interesting to learn. they also had an ad for Mag-10. so, are bill roberts, t-mag, amd mesomorphosis in bed together at all? is this common knowlegde, or am i retarded?
So far as bodybuilding writing, I started writing for Dan Duchaine and his Dirty Dieting newsletter, and then wrote for Mesomorphosis, and then T-mag. I owe Millard Baker, founder of Mesomorphosis, a great deal both in how Meso kept me alive during graduate school (the salary of a teaching assistant just doesn’t do it really) as well as giving me the opportunity to get my ideas and writings out there. Mesomorphosis is a venture that deserved (and still deserves) great success.
The articles there are old ones. Actually I was thinking just the other day that I ought to update some of them. Actually the number of things I’d say differently now are rather few (most notably I think there’s an article where I advocated an older HCG protocol rather than the 500 IU/day protocol I currently advocate), but a few improvements could be made.
i hadn’t heard of dirty dieting…is it still able to be found. I really enjoy reading your articles and i’d love to see some more. One more question…do you have any favorite writers and could you point me in the direction of them? thanks…
I think there is some outfit that has Dirty Dieting issues on-line. I can’t really recommend spending the money. At the time, very few people thought it worth subscribing to (which is why it folded.) It could be
of interest or to someone fond of that sort
of exotica, though. I doubt that there is
any useful information not findable elsewhere.
I haven’t read bb’ing magazines in years
so I wouldn’t be able to suggest those sorts
of writers for the most part. But besides T-mag writers, Jose Antonio and Lyle McDonald come to mind. I am sure there are others
that I would include if this weren’t strictly off the top of my head, sort of an instant-association thing
Bill’s articles are VERY informative and I’m learning quite a bit about anabolic pharmacology online. Outstanding work. OH an Bill, could you direct to any place (whether it be in a book or on the internet) regarding biochemical definitions and compositions? Thanks in advance
For an easier book, Lippincott’s Review of Biochemistry (approximate title) is a very good one. There are also many biochemistry texts e.g. Mathews and Van Holde, or Lehninger’s. The price for
a new one is quite outrageous though.
Yea they really are. You’d think I was trying t opurchase a 24 karat gold watch at these prices. Makes one wonder how they can justify such a price? Oh well it’s worth the knowledge I guess
The reason for the outrageous new price, I think, is that the books are constantly being rewritten: a given edition is not sold for long. Let’s say that the publisher
gets $50 of the $100 price (I don’t know) and
30,000 books are sold. That’s $1.5 million. Which probably is not a lot of money for all the cost involved. And I’m not sure that that many books are sold (certainly often it’s far less than this for academic books) since you’d probably sell 30,000 new books only if over 100,000 students use the book (due to sales of used books.)
