WHHAZZATTT!!!
You don't mean to say that BBers and BB mags. ever lie!??
Why, HOW DARE you ever say, or infer, such a thing??!
Do you mean to say that Joe Weider didn't invent EVERY SINGLE BB barbell/dumbbell/machine exercise, and that he was not the trainer of EVERY single BB champion!???
AND...
That all those massively-muscled BBers in the popular BB mags didn't build all their muscles with the just the nutritional aid of wholesome natural food, plus those wonderful food supplements advertised in the mags.!??
That Charles Atlas didn't build his muscles with just using his "dynamic tension" exercises!??
That Eugene Sandow didn't build his impressive physique using just the little hand-squeeze light dumbbells he "swore by" in his mag. and newspaper ads!??
That solely the York Barbell Co.'s Power Rack, "Energol", and Hi-Protein powder/tablets, were the real secrets behind the success of American weightlifters in the 1960's...cuz, Bob Hoffman said they did!??
Yes, "TRUTH" in BB...over the last 100 YEARS...why, as much "TRUTH" as in the "miracle" remedies claimed by the "snake-oil" salesmen of the late 19th century!!!
And NOW, we have this Jimmy Thompson fellow!??
