Peary went on to say that some bodybuilders who build big muscles through pumping light weights are never able to build power to match their bloated appearance if they start training correctly with heavy weights and lower repetitions. Rader’s words from this article which is almost 50 years old was that heavy weights in training used by a strongman provided him with muscles that “to the touch have amazing power, toughness, and permanency,”when compared to a bodybuilder’s muscles. The result was an arm that was 1” bigger in a week, but could not lift an additional pound in the curl. Peary went into detail with how he had pumped his arms with blood all week via light weights and high repetitions. Peary published an article he wrote in Ironman called combining the 1 1/2 system and rest pause training as being the optimum way to build strength and concurrent size – as opposed to just pumping the muscles up, congesting the muscle with light weights and high repetitions.
Peary listed the proper workout for gaining size and strength was to do the following exercises: Peary detailed how alternating your squat repetitions every workout could help avoid the mental drudgery that can be associated with high repetition squatting. To keep from going stale, Peary said a lifter could do one all out set of 20 repetitions, then next workout he could do three sets of ten repetitions and finally the next workout the lifter could do two sets of 15 reps. Rader described in his article that 20 repetition squats are brutally hard and can be a mental challenge. A person should train heavy and employ progressive overload by increasing either the weight on the bar or the repetitions done with the weight every time you train. Peary believed that a man should train 2 to 3 times per week, with the primary focus being on the breathing squat. Peary’s Training PhilosophyĪ YouTube video by the creator Golden Era Bookworm that was released in April 2018 synopsized Peary’s training philosophy as detailed in the classic 1947 Your Physique Magazine.
Before Peary was a publisher he was a man who sought to improve his physical condition.
The strength and bodybuilding legends who were made famous when the pages of Ironman documented their prowess have had indelible impact on physical culture. This was no audacious claim, this was a factual statement that has stood the test of time. The boldest move that Peary made in publishing was placing the statement “The Quality Magazine For All Men Interested in Physical Superiority” under the title of Ironman on every cover through out the 1970s. The founder and editor of Ironman Magazine provided a trusted platform in his periodical that presented timeless training and nutrition information. The role that Peary Rader has played in the establishment of physical culture can not be understated.
