When you’re talking about the greatest bodybuilders who
ever lived, Reg Park is right at the top of everyone’s list.
Reg won the Mr. Universe contest three times (nearly a
4th) but his muscles weren’t just for show – with a
behind-the-neck press of 300 pounds and a squat of
over 600 pounds, Reg was not just one of the strongest
bodybuilders of all time but one of the strongest men
of all time too!
You would think that Reg would have
some “top secret” training methods
that helped him build such
incredible size and strength…
Actually: Reg built his
strength with nothing
more than a handful of
basic exercises and a
lot of hard work.
Still, it’s always
a good thing to
have a look at
how a Champion
actually trains…
What exercises does
he like to use?
…or not use?
…how many sets?
…how often does he train?
…what about the “mental” side of training?
Fortunately for us, Reg Park has, in fact, answered all these questions (and many more) in writing… Now you can learn directly from the man himself through a training course which Reg wrote way back in 1960 and which is now available in high-quality modern reprint format:
