EDITORIAL

(Continued from page 3) proven hundreds of thousands of times. This training system has built the great lifting champions associated with the York Barbell Club for nearly 30 years, and it has built all of the Mr. Americas of the past 18 years. York methods are the reason why America has maintained a place high at the top of world weight-lifting. Only Russia has been able to challenge our position as the strongest team in the world, and the Russians have followed York methods.

During the past few years certain competitors of ours in the weight-lifting field have tried to tear down the sound and sensible training principles which we put together at York a full generation ago. They have made fantastic claims of brilliant new discoveries, of certain wild-eyed, unnatural exercise movements that will grow "two lumps where only one grew before", and in general have distorted the whole idea of sensible physical training to a point where it is rapidly coming into disrepute with physical directors and physical education authorities, just as it did during the 1890's when a group of beer-swilling monsters who trained laboriously between drinks with huge solid iron dumbells demonstrated on their persons that weightlifting must be bad for its followers because these men were slow and clumsy and actually unhealthy.

The fantastic four to eight-hour training programs of endless repetitions and sets of the same unnatural exercises have created a race of monsters from whom the public justly turn their heads.

We feel it is time the reading public knows exactly where we stand in regard to sensible weight-training and healthful and happy living. The principles upon which Strength and Health and York methods were founded, and which appeared in our first book are entirely unchanged. We intend to go on building stronger, healthier and happier people of every age, race and

sex.

We are not in the business of creating monsters, but in building athletes.

We do not believe in training four hours per day. Everyone must have time to work and play and to carve out useful career. The day of the barbell bum is drawing to a close. Public reaction to the sight of unnatural lumps and varicose veins and ruptured muscular tissue will sooner or later call a halt to the foolishness of the misguided cult of "lumps for lumps' sake."

We are now on our way to the Olympic Games in Melbourne in our usual capacity as official Weight-lifting Coach of the U.S. Olympic Team. We have served in this capacity for many years. We are training our men and coaching them exactly as we did when we trained America's first lifting champions back in 1936. Nothing new has been added. We do not have our champions work out for four hours per day. They train five days per week when in intensive preparation for a championship. Three of these days are fairly strenuous workouts, lasting perhaps two hours, but with many rest periods between lifts. Two days per (Continued on page 39)

NEW... Carob Hi-Proteen!

A taste thrill awaits you when you try this entirely different flavor, made with Carob powder, a food as old as history. Carob grew in the Garden of Eden, and was the main food of many ancient peoples. It looks and tastes somewhat like chocolate, but does not contain theobromine, the element distasteful to many people. Carob Hi-Proteen contains no sugar or artificial flavor. It tastes good and digests in an amazing manner, it actually makes your stomach feel good! Priced the same other Hi-Proteen flavors. Try it. You'll like it.
