SETS & REPS: SOON ENOUGH YOU WILL DECK BULLY FOREMAN!

Q: I've been reading your mag for three years now and I also read a couple others and yours by far is the best one. What do I say to the people who are constantly trying to cut me down because I’m not the same because I eat so many times (5-6) in the day? One foreman even tried to take my breaks away, just because he knows I want to eat every 3 hrs. I can stand it for a while, but after months of this it’s getting frustrating. Any words of advice, besides getting a new job? Anyway, keep up the great work at the mag.

A: Tell your foreman that people who eat frequently, but eat less each time, but eat all nutrient-rich foods, not only work harder and better, but also live longer! You are unique as a bodybuilder, so you do need all that unique food. If he doesn’t agree, well, soon enough, just like Charles Atlas, where a bully kicked sand in his face and stole his girl, after he started bodybuilding with Dynamic Tension, young Charles, just 1 year later, came back to the beach and punched the bully’s lights out (and took his babe back), you’ll do the same to Mr. Foreman!
 

SETS & REPS: PLANET PUSHES POWER!

Q: As a competitive lifter who pushes heavy iron, I appreciate that Planet Muscle gives me stories on the biggest strongest guys. You are the only magazine that seems to care about us lifters.

A: We call it PLANET because we believe that everybody who lifts iron is important, not just those who may almost kill themselves, just so they get to pay $100 for a bodybuilding pro card.
 

THE DAY OUR MUSIC DIED!

Q: Thanks for the photos of Peary O’Brien in PM, Russ Knipp and Bob Bednarski (in Athlete), early last year. All three were great athletes of strength and multiple world record holders. Sure enough, none of the other magazines even left a footnote. As well, your Athlete also had a great story on Art Jones, who just passed (Editor’s note—Art invented Nautilus machines) and another truly Herculean man of power, Olympic champ, Al Oerter just died. Thanks for a marvelous magazine that covers the entire muscle world.

A: Thanks. Speaking of Herculean, Mr. movie Hercules, bodybuilder Reginald Park has passed at 79. Russ Knipp held the world record in the press, weighing 165-lbs, pressing almost 360. Bob Bednarski pressed 456 and jerked 486, at 247-lbs. bodyweight, back in 1968. O’Brien was the first to ‘turn his back” in the shot and won Olympic Gold, revolutionizing the event. Al Oerter was Mr. Discus. He won 4 Olympic Gold’s over 16 years, unheard of.
 

YOU ARE ALL BIG CHEATERS!

Q: Mr. Everson, everybody in your stinking Planet Muscle is a big f***ing cheater and so are you. My chest is bigger than yours and all of your Planet Muscle goons, and I don’t even do the Roids or that Beverly protein. I have a real 44” chest and know that I am the true Mr. Olympia,whereas you are all a bunch of losers.

A: Wow 44” -- that is really something. You must be able to bench like 190 pounds for 2, maybe 3 reps with a bounce and arch? We recommend that you continue to do the chest building workout you are on, but we will not elaborate in print those other details, as you requested. Your other favorite past time is just not relevant. I mean the fact that you can induce multiple orgasms in your mother, in the ‘Kama Sutra’ seated position #44, is not going to get Planet Muscle into Walmart. But, we are sure your mom’s next offspring will be a REAL Cretin, and gee, maybe with a 46” chest?
 

SETS & REPS: MHP POWER CAGE SPECIAL WRESTLING?

Q: Jeff, your magazine has helped me a great deal to make my decisions on the best supplements to buy. Thanks! I’m going to the Arnold this year; any special events that I should not miss?

A: Well, I have established a nude wrestling event for ending worldwide racism and this will see Timea Majorova grabbling with Alica Marie. The DOG is the judge. He promises not to use objectionable language if Alicia pile drives Ms. Pectoralis Majorova.

Seriously, (butt) the one event you do get to participate in, is entering the MHP cage of power. Last year MHP really cleaned up at the Arnold Expo and was the BIG sponsor of the very popular Arnold Classic Strongman Competition.

Over 32,600 crammed in to watch Goliath's, each between 305 lbs. and 420 lbs. compete on very unusual stuff, demanding the strength of 10 grown men at once on each event. Besides that domination, of course, we all know that MHP’S Matterhorn of muscle, Victor Martinez, won the Arnold Classic Pro bodybuilding event. So this year, MHP is again the Arnold Expo event sponsor, of all the strongest men in existence, and get this --Martinez actually says, he will be on stage too, defending his title and says he will be bigger (and richer) than ever! The MHP Cage-Rage power-mongers will include World Record bench pressers Ryan Kennelly (1036-lbs), Joe Mazza (Joe won $1000 from Jeff Everson, by winning the best King of the bench, at the Kings bench event at the Olympia in Vegas), Rob Luyando (Mr. 900, the lightest man in the world to ever push the BIG 9), and the 360 pound Maniac-in-the-Kilt, the pro wrestler – sanguine strongman, Mike Miller. Mike squats 1100 lbs. and has been seen eating an entire cow for breakfast.

 

SETS & REPS: RAW MILK IT DOES A BODY GOOD

Believe it or not, once upon a time, back about 1950, when guys like Gironda, Reeves,
Grimek, Ross and Tanny, promenaded and exercised at Muscle Beach, there were no anabolic steroids. Bodybuilding did not mean the greatest massive size, with the least body fat. Instead, it stood for a 100% healthy lifestyle, clean and fresh, and sometimes raw foods, clean fresh air, no drugs, booze or smokes, and plenty of exercise in the open and clean air and sunshine. In fact, starting well back over 100years ago, both lifestyle and bodybuilding were actually unified under one umbrella term known as “Physical Culture”.

Now my point, over all those years, many of the physical culturists promoted the muscle and health effects of raw milk, including Joe Weider, in his 1981 book, “The Weider Approach to Bodybuilding”. So, it is with great irony (and sadness) that this decade’s-long right for California health advocates to choose farm fresh milk, is being terminated by CA. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who, somewhat uncharacteristically this time, seems badly misinformed on the subject matter.

On October 8th of this year, Schwarzenegger signed anti-milk legislation, AB1735. This changes bacteria standards to include less than 10 coli forms per ml. of raw milk. When this law is activated early in 2008, it will basically clear the shelves of some 300 California stores, depriving thousands of customers of the milk of their
choice!

The claims of raw milk as being dangerously unhealthy, borders on sheer fraud, as varying medical politicians, operating through both state and federal agencies, have been very successful in manifesting a germ phobic society, (Seinfeld Germaphobes), such that we have become a culture that literally fears its food. However, it was actually one of the medical orthodoxy’s own, Dr. Henry Coit, who forged the certified raw milk movement back in the 1890s because he understood the medicinal value of properly-raised cows, yielding pure, raw milk.

Technology has moved tremendously since the atrocities of the dirty distillery dairies that helped make the case for pasteurization, many years ago. The safety standards now where raw milk is processed are enormously high. Yet today, other industry doesn’t seem to care at all what they feed livestock or how it is raised; hell, destroy and over-farm the soil, fill it full of chemicals, stuff the cattle and hogs full of growth hormone and steroids, the cows will still produce milk.
Why worry? Scientists can just genetically modify, irradiate (cold pasteurization), or chemically spray or boil, all milk!

Consumers of farm fresh milk are not stupid people. People who drink certified raw milk are not aimlessly lining up at dairy farms simply to acquire diarrhea. They represent hundreds of thousands of people across the United States and Canada who have researched this issue and find it more than worth the effort to seek the benefits of raw milk. Dr. Scott Connelly, the inventor of MET-Rx and Progenex, notes, “Raw milk contains higher undisturbed levels of many critical nutrients.”

It’s all another erosion of your free right to choose. Bodybuilders have always been nutritionally innovative, and we must protect that right. This is not just a stance to consume raw milk, but also to maintain a standard of clean, organic and biodynamic farming by knowledgeable farmers who know that healthy life begins in a healthy soil. These tillers of the land not only produce quality food for those who desire it, but also high quality source products that constitute a number of the supplements you utilize in your own protocols.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, 7 times Mr. Olympia, 5 times Mr. Universe, author of “The Education of a Bodybuilder” and “The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding”, this is your golden opportunity to stand up and show the people of the Golden State and those who primarily built your status over the years, (bodybuilders who read M&F, went to the movies and Arnold Classic), just exactly who and what you truly stand for.
