Not pretending to be the PHA expert and my memory is fuzzy but it was something like this:

A giant set of squats, back rows, delt press, bicep curl, calf raise, incline press, abs and tricep extensions. Maybe three series.

Next on the same work out would be leg press, pull down, bench, lateral raise, concentration curl, seated calf, abs, dips. All done non stop for three series

He would then do a final series of exercises. A brutal way to train. I don't know how this could be done in commercial gym.

Interesting & unusual way to train to say the least
What was his rationale if any behind this.

You’d need your own or an empty gym to train like that.

Harry was awesome but a little off. Bigger than his brother Bill but not nearly as accomplished. Used to stay after the gym was closed and smoke weed while doing the gyms laundry

Damn, that brings back memories. I remember that pic very, very well as I would choke down his products. As a kid, I would have to stand in front of the bathroom sink with a loaded toothbrush in hand, down Hoffman's swill, and immediately brush my teeth to get that horrid taste out of my mouth.

Kids today have no idea how much flavor has improved over the decades. I remember when I use to work at Vitamin World and a customer would ask me if a certain product taste good. I use to say, "Hey, I'm the wrong guy to ask. Compared to the stuff I use to take as a kid it's all candy to me now." It's true. There's not a supplement today that I think tastes bad.

COACH, Thanks for mentioning SOLO. I did not notice when I first saw that photo.

You, Tommy W., (also the guy on the right in another photo) and myself are most likely the only individuals on this board who knows who he is.

Does anyone know what SOLO is doing today?

And are the names ROB JOHNSON and WAYNE BOUVIER recognizable?

Many 'way-back' memories in these photos.

Thanks, NARC ...

No, Wayne was a smaller guy that used to train at Pearls back the 70's then when the gym was taken over and ran into ground by Brian (forgot his last name) not before he ripped off Bill, we all moved to Astro Gym in San Gabriel

I spoke with Bill a couple of years ago and said Solo was still in great shape and still living in the Pasadena area. I'm assuming training at the World Gym on Altadena Dr. in Pas

I don't think he could ever beat Lee Haney.
He was as narrow as Phil Cheath
He lacked quad sweep
Weak lat width

Ofcourse he had amazing chest, sick arms as a whole, beautiful calves, crazy traps and good midsection.
So he was a worthy champion but no Mr. O material.
Not to forget that he couldn't pose to save his life.

He actually did beat Haney that same year.

He said it was good for training the heart muscle too and for endurance. He does have his PhD in Exercise Physiology but back then I don't know if he was even in college. He still advocates it.

In the old Iron man magazines there were plenty of articles on it back in the day. One article a guy said he was training heavy his whole training career but his joints were bothering him. He said he got into his most leanest condition using it and the weights were a lot lighter than what he was using.

I could train like this in my basement since I have my own private gym and all the equipment is free. In the commercial gym I workout in it would be hard to do effectively. I have no desire to try it though.
