Funk, I learned about Joe Nista passing away when you posted it on this Board back in 2006 with the attached photo.

Bill McArdle who is also shown in the above photo passed away at a very young age back in the 60's if I recall correctly, but I don't recall the cause of death. But if there is any interest it would most likely only tke one phone call to get the facts.

I met Bill when he was training with Larry Scott prep'en for the Mr Cal Contest the year in which John Corvello ended up winning the overall.

As we all know, Larry just recently passed away in Utah.

And Mike Dadigan is a name I have not heard in the past 20+ years, so I will make that phone call ASAP.

I hope he's still among the liv'en.

Welcome, FUNK.

Here's a photo of John Corvello who won the Mr Cal title over Bill McArdel way back when.
It was a close but deserving win.

Is it or is it not evident that the above 'contenders' physically resembled a condition somewhat between today's modern day bodybuilder contenders and today's physigue contenders?

Back then during the 1960's and early 70's the term "Personal Trainer" was yet to be even thought of.

As long as you could bench press 300+, anyone in the gym would be your so called PT and you'd simply ask if you could work in a set with another 300-"Pluser" and it would never cost anymore than free.

You'd learn a lot .... and teach a lot as well.

Things were so much different then.

And 'people' too!

And, in this case, different = better.

DONNY, If I recall correctly the usual routine consisted of three to four sets of 8 to 12 reps and each body-part was worked at least twice a week and sometimes three times each week.

Body-part exercises might consist of three different exercises for biceps which would mean that each body-part exercise would consist of 9 to 12 sets and 24 to 48 reps (if my math is correct here.)

Three body-parts per day was somewhat normal.

The poundages wojuld be increased eventually once the last rep of the last set was relatively easy.

Are you familiar with Isometric routines?

it was bob  hoffman's way of explaining the strength increase of certain york lifters thanks to john ziegler's little blue pills.

MB, FUNK, I have yet to read all of the above except for each of your short stuff comments, but I do have some good 'stuff' to say about Isometrics as a rebuttal towards the bad 'stuff' you each briefly mentioned above.

But give me some time to get back here as I have important friends visiting this here part of the wild wild west whom most of you know or of whom you have have read about ... and we are heading out to  take the casino's money ... or give it a damn good try.

So please stand by to stand by.

yeah i played around with isometrics as a kid.. not really serious. i have read this about full Body of course. Most routines Show one Basic ex per muscle Group, maybe 2. i know Steve Reeves did a fair bit of volume and exercises in his Routine. I think Gordon Scott prefered upper/lower.  so what is your opinion stunt on the one part a day routines of today? although i did read that People years ago did 1 ex per Day :o of course with more volume.

SHAPE, It could be that the individuals you were expecting, are individuals I never had the opportunity top meet.

And I will admit that Lee was most likely in the best shape of his life that day that he served as Guest Poser in one  of our events.

In my humble opinion, Nubret has been the best of all time (consistently in top shap over the years), while today's most impressive in my opinion is someone who was recently featured on this site ......PETE MOLNAR

Back in the day, it was REEVES, but the progression of bodybuilding has changed everything from the way it used to be.

Larry had an idea about pumping his muscles. Well, he believed that if he could exceed his previous maximum pumped biceps then he would grow. The next day he would be bigger. So that theory became incorporated in hypertrophy theory. Not that pumping by itself is important but if your training results in ever larger muscles you will grow rapidly. He was one of the first to use the tape measure as a training aid. You can do that with arms and calves.

Vince your contributions to this board are great and you deserve blue stars(not sure why Ron has such a hard on for you,did you not pose in a loin cloth like Larry scott :D) great posts, keep it up!!
