Important Announcement Plus Free Gifts

September 23, 2008

When I started this blog, I did so for two reasons:

1. To show how the old-timers lifted and constructed their routines, and

2. To help others, in any way I could, become bigger, stronger and healthier without the use of drugs.

It’s been a fun ride and now I’m really excited about the future because of two important events that are happening right now.

Two things I’m very pumped up about and want to share with you are my soon-to-be-released book, “The Big Book of Workout Routines,” and the Workout Warriors Newsletter.

I wanted to share a little with you about the book and newsletter and how you can get a bunch of free goodies in the process.

The “Big Book of Workout Routines” is filled with some of the best and most effective routines for building size and strength in a variety of different styles.

There are sections and workouts devoted to HIT, Olympic Lifting, Powerlifting, Bodyweight training, Bodybuilding workouts and much more. The only workouts included in this collection are those that have been tested and proven to get results by some of the most famous bodybuilders, powerlifters and strongmen of all-time.

Best of all, you can get the book, plus five content packed audios and two special videos, absolutely free just for trying out my brand-new Workout Warriors Newsletter and Monthly CD.

The book will be released on Wednesday, October 7 and will be shipped to you immediately. This is a real book, not a PDF download. You can have all the workouts right at your fingertips whenever you want.

The monthly print newsletter will have articles on past lifting and bodybuilding greats, commentary, nutrition advice and of course, workouts. In every issue the Workout Warriors Newsletter will focus on a routine of the month. We’ll break the program down for you and then go through the routine in the monthly CD that comes with the newsletter. The WWN is guaranteed to inform, entertain, and inspire.

In addition, there will be a website where you can download the newsletter and monthly CD to your computer if you’d like the digital version. They will be available in a members only website that will have audio, video and training articles as well.

I’m very proud of this newsletter. I’ve put all my years of training experience, knowledge and study and poured it into the contents of this newsletter. There is no fluff or filler here. No supplement ads and steroid inspired workouts. Just good common sense with programs and routines that work.

There is also some awesome, limited-time bonuses for those who subscribe during the launch phase of the Workout Warriors Newsletter and Monthly CD.

The cost of the book alone is $29.95. Throw in the audio and video content and your talking around $100 worth of products for free! Don’t worry, when you see the price of the the Workout Warriors Newsletter and the monthly CD, I’m confident you’ll be very happy. It comes out to around .90 cents a day.

This is a no-brainer. All this for so little. Do me a favor and check it out. Even if you cancel your subscription, you can keep the gifts and the “The Big Book of Workout Routines” as a thank you from me just for trying the newsletter and monthly CD. Just click the link below and see what free gifts are awaiting you.

Take care and train hard.

Another Bob Peoples Workout

September 19, 2008

Here’s another routine that was favored by Bob Peoples.

Peoples was the kind of guy who would switch training programs fairly regularly. He would try various routines with different sets and reps. Peoples also would alternate the volume as well.

His usual program would be four days a week, but he did try five days, three days, two days and even once a week training. In the end, he felt four days was right for him.

It worked very well for Bob Peoples, but every individual is different. Experiment with this yourself and see how your body reacts. Mix and match to find what works.

This routine is just like that last one posted – deadlift, squats and overhead press – just with a different set and rep structure.

Another Bob Peoples Workout

Deadlifts 1 x 20, 1 x 15, 1 x 12, 1 x 10, 1 x 5, 1 x 2, 5 x 1 (11 sets)
Squats 6 x 5
Press 5 x 5

Notes: Peoples would workout 4-5 days per week. He liked to lift heavy, so there was no super light sets. If you want to follow this routine, I suggest doing it 2-3 days per week. As always, get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.


I have a special announcement coming Monday I think you’ll find pretty cool. Stay tuned to find out more. Have a great weekend.

Bob Peoples Deadlift Training

September 15, 2008

For those who don’t know of Bob Peoples, here is some background.

Peoples was born in 1910 in Johnson City, Tennessee and by the age of 9, he developed a passion for weight training. He excited that passion by purchasing the Farmer Burns course and reading “Strength” magazine.

By the time Bob had reached the age of 18 he had become very interested in the deadlift. He did all around training, but his specialty from this time on was the deadlift. He made a weight of 350 and in a year had worked up to 450 at a bodyweight of 165. His first competition of any kind was the 1937 Tennessee State Weightlifting Championships.

The next two years of training brought much improvement. Again he traveled to Chattanooga and lifted in the 1939 State Championships. His total had improved 65 pounds but the highlight of this occasion was a deadlift of 600 pounds.More competitions and higher lifts followed. His crowing moment came in during the great Red Shield Boy’s Club Variety Show of 1949. Peoples, at a bodyweight of 181 pounds, set a then world record (for his weight class) by deadlifting 725.5 pounds.

In 1979, Peoples wrote a book entitled “Developing Physical Strength,” which became an instant classic. Peoples passed away in 1992 at the age of 82.

Some of his top lifts are as follows:

Squat – 530 pounds
Bench Press – 300 pounds (didn’t work on it much)
Deadlift – 725.5 pounds

All drug free….

Here is a sample routine that Peoples liked to do.

Bob Peoples Deadlift Training
Deadlift 1 x 15-20, 1 x 10, 1 x 8, 1 x 6, 6 x 1 (10 sets total)
Squat 5 x 5
Press 5 x 5

Notes: Peoples would workout 4-5 days per week. Peoples liked to lift heavy, so there was no light sets. On the deadlifts, he would up the weight for every set until he reached 90% of max, which he would pound out 6 sets of singles. Peoples would use the same weight on the squat and overhead press for every set. If you want to follow this routine, I suggest doing it 2-3 days per week. As always, get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.

Deadlift Specialization

September 10, 2008

Here’s a simple, but brutally hard and effective workout, used by the old-timers to build rock solid muscle and work on their deadlift skills.

This specialization program has put 20-30 pounds of muscle on some people in just 6-8 weeks! That’s not bullshit hype, it’s a fact. One of them was an old-time lifter named Harold Ansorge.

Don’t be fooled by the routines simplicity. You must work damn hard with heavy poundages (whatever you define as heavy). Follow this to the letter for about 6-8 weeks and be prepared to buy bigger clothes.

Deadlift Specialization Program

Workout A
Deadlifts 10 x 3-5

Workout B
Deadlifts 3 x 5
Breathing Deadlifts 1 x 20

Notes: As you can see by the set/rep scheme you must lift heavy. Alternate the workouts, lifting every 3-5 days. Basically do this routine twice a week. If you haven’t recovered enough or feel wiped out, then train once a week, every five days. The breathing deadlifts are performed just like the squat version, except you place the bar on the floor, take three deep breaths, and then do another rep. Once again, rep, set bar on floor, three breaths and another rep until 20 are done. As always, get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water. Remember to lift heavy and with max intensity.
