"Lost Treasures of The Iron Game"


Dear Friend,

Mark H. Berry was one of the Iron Game's unsung heroes who was teaching no-nonsense, productive training back in the 1930's. As an author and "coach" he influenced hundreds of top lifters including a young John Grimek. Berry's routines were relatively simple and more importantly, they worked, which is what makes them timeless. Now you can take a trip back in time and train just like the greats with Mark H. Berry as your teacher with the Mark Berry Collection - 2 classic training guides:

    The Mark Berry Bar Bell Courses (1936)

    Mark H. Berry's other great training material is his excellent collection of barbell courses. Written and collected in 1936, the author carefully laid out these methods in three world famous correspondence courses that focused on heavy compound barbell movements using only barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells. Think on this training guide as a collection of everything that "worked" for some of the greatest strength men of all time.

    These classic courses, describing the very successful training methods of the 1930's, prove that it is possible to get great results with the most basic inexpensive equipment; adjustable plate loading barbells and dumbbells. No benches or machines are used!

    You will learn how to correctly perform basic, result-producing exercises such squats, presses, snatches, cleans, jerks, continentals, straddle lifts, pushes, swings, and many more.

    All three courses are fully illustrated with over 100 rare inspirational photos of a young John C. Grimek posing for 52 different exercises using globe and plate loading barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells.

    In addition, several full page photos of Joseph Curtis Hise, John Davis, Roger Eells, Clevio Massimo, Walter Padolak, Kenneth Terrell, Siegmund Klein, and Frank Leight round out this beautiful, 8 1/2" x 11", 83 page book.
