Ed JubinvilleEd Jubinville from Holyoke, Massachusetts, took up physical training after becoming inspired by an article about Eugen Sandow in Bernarr MacFadden's Physical Culture Magazine. In fact, his first workouts were with a couple of bricks.
Shortly afterward he began training with more conventional equipment at the B-6 Weightlifting Club run by Armand LaMarr... and it was Armand LaMarr who first taught him Muscle Control. Around this time, Ed also happened upon the writings of Mark Berry which he lists as being very influential.
With a solid foundation in proper weightlifting and a knowledgeable teacher, Ed Jubinville went on to become one of the greatest Muscle control experts the world had ever seen. You can read a very interesting anecdote on Ed Jubinville's Muscle control act in The Dellinger Files Vol. I.
