Rippetoe Research Clinic for Ultimate Power and Strength?

[johnreynolds]

Rip, just read this article in the Tight Slacks blog on Marvin Eder, taken from Muscle Builder, Oct/67, and was wondering ...
"He was not satisfied with his achievements, and so experimented with different training methods, searching for the key to size and strength (bodybuilders in the Weider era of bodybuilding don't have to flounder around for techniques of bodybuilding, because the Weider Research Clinic has done all that for them,and continues to work at developing new and better methods of building muscle and power - Ed. note.)."

I don't see a question here.

Neither do I.

Have a break. Turn the volume up a bit.

I do believe he's comparing you to Joe "The Master Blaster" Weider.

You will not be seeing me reading a blog called "Tight Slacks" written by a bloke.

You will be seen missing out on some pretty interesting stuff about how the old-school strongmen and powerlifters trained.

It's a bunch of old school lifting articles and literature. If you enjoy anything Rip puts out, there's a good chance you'll enjoy that blog. Why it's named that, I have no idea.

Hoffman had his phoney "Research Clinic" on Ridge Avenue next to the gym, and Weider had his bogus "Research Clinic" wherever it was. Did anyone who remembers the old-time purveyors of muscle actually think that I was suggesting that Rip follow the "Master Blaster" business model of muscle marketing? BTW Great site, I like the Starr and Gallagher articles.

Maybe not the business model, but the bronze bust might be tempting.

Yeah, I'm just messing. I'll give it a read when I get a chance. I might have to hide the title of the tab in Chrome though...
