"How a Tennessee Farmer Who Trained Alone
| ||||||||||||
|
Though there have been individuals who have pulled more weight, Bob Peoples is still unquestionably
the strongest deadlifter of all time. Like every successful lifter, Bob was resourceful,
innovative, kept meticulous records of what worked and did not work, and trained like a madman.
The results speak for themselves: at a bodyweight of only 181 lbs., he was deadlifting 700+ lbs. back in the 1940's. What is also interesting is that Bob trained in his basement gym primarily with homemade equipment which consisted of wooden 2x4s, 55 gallon drums, concrete, scrap iron, and anything else he could get his hands on. While certainly crude by some standards, he more than made up for it in results. Many of the unusual training techniques he pioneered are now commonplace. He was one of the first lifters to successfully implement negative-style training into his routine. In 1979, Bob put pen to paper and the result was Developing Physical Strength, one of the most unique training courses of all time. In Developing Physical Strength, Bob Peoples discusses a number of training topics that you should definitely know more about: * his views on power rack training and the value of keeping notes and records * the training systems and methods of the oldtime greats that he used with the greatest success AND which systems did not work * notes on the bench press, eccentric movements, special exercises, "the sweep," the centrifugal machine, static contraction, and much more. Peoples went on to mentor a young Paul Anderson, so you know he is a man whose methods are worth studying. Now this modern classic is available once again. 50 pages, 6 x 9 glossy cover paperback and highly recommended for the pictures alone. The training methods of a true champion; definitely not one to miss. Train hard,  John Wood |
