I liked Brad Harris philosophy of working out. I don't agree on his I don't train legs with weights stance but he was a true hard core trainer. He use to run sprint and distance runs when running was rarely done by bodybuilders. The last thing I read on him in an interview in MM he said he trains for 3 sets of 12 reps and three exercises per body part. He said that fit in with his running program. Hard to believe he is 79 now.

:)maybe because he trained with bill smith early on and bill wasn't real big on leg work either.

Don Howorth had an incredible physique that many have forgotten about. It's great to see his pictures here. Today's bloated physiques isn't something I would like to look like. Physiques like Howorth and Reeves are ideal in my mind.

Funk you have some incredible pictures. Where did you find that incredible picture of Brad Harris? It's labeled 78 by you I guess. That couldn't be his age in that picture.

funny when you think about how People like Vince Gironda always scorned running/cardio. Although in "the wild physique" he is Standing next to a bike... I think guys like Brad Harris were more modern thinkers. His film roles needed cardio and stamina, even Reeves started Walking and also during his time in Switzerland ..hiking 2 hours in the Woods( building the classic physique). No i think the smart Trainer UTILIZES it all to be in shape.

dave draper is incredible shape still at an advanced age esp considering all his past and current medical problems .

Vince always seemed to be against running but I have an interview in Iron man where he went on a running kick for awhile. He said he got close to a 2 minute half mile. That is flying.

i believe you...his father was a stuntsman too i think. he did bike ride. Ok he believed running depleted the Body of Hormones ..won´t happen unless you run Marathons.
