Gain Muscle Mass - York Advanced Methods of Weight Training - Table of Contents

Bob Hoffman, owner of the York Barbell Company, knew a lot about proper weight training and how to build muscle. The following is information from his class bodybuilding book, The York Advanced Methods of Weight Training.

(Note:I don't agree with a number of Bob's ideas but there is a lot of great information in this book that is worth sharing with you if you want to gain muscle mass.)

All kinds of people take up the practice of weight training.

The majority are those who wish to keep fit in the easiest and quickest manner.

Fortunately for them keeping fit with weights really doesn't require a lot of time, only reasonable persistence with a proper weight training routine.

Some of the many reasons people take up weight training are:

• To be twice as strong as the average man

• to be well enough built to attract favorable attention in street clothes or at the beach

• to enjoy splendid health

• to have good endurance, rapid recuperative power and the expectancy of long life

• Gain muscle mass

There are a great many who use weights to overcome the ravages of ill health, to build a weak, sickly body to strength and health, there are those who desire to rejuvenate an injured limb or other part of the body, a fair number who wish to reduce their overweight bodies, to gain muscle mass and replace ugly fat with lean, strong muscles, a great many who wish to build muscle, to build their undeveloped frames so that they will compare favorably with bodybuilders and gain the attention of the opposite sex.

There are many who train with weights to improve their athletic ability, to develop more speed, power, nervous energy or super endurance so that they can perform better at their chosen sport. Weight lifting will improve any man at his favorite sport and most of the nations top athletes, national champions and record holders, are weight trained men.

There are others who desire to be weight lifting champions, to make the world's championship and Olympic teams, there are many who desire to be strong, to be the strongest man in their districts, there are even more who want to pack all the muscle they can upon their frames, and last, but far from least, there is the large group who find pleasure, satisfaction and fame, which can result in time in fortune, by building such a magnificent physique that they will be winners in physique contests, perhaps "Mr. America" or even obtain the greatest prize of all, Mr. Universe or Mr. World (nowadays Mr. Olympia) (Continued Below).
