After some period he began training with a friend who was an ‘outstanding football player ‘and later played with the Denver Bron- cos, who encouraged him to make some changes in his program, work- ing harder and 5 or 6 times per week. This started him to really gaining properly and from then on he gained steadily if slow at times and began to shape up towards his present superb condition, We asked Boyer what programs and exercises he uses and he stated that he had used about every pro- gram and every exercise known. He feels that it is important to change programs frequently-about every 6 weeks. He does ‘not change all the exercises but changes some of them and also makes changes in the reps and sets and such things. He does like to keep certain basie exercises in his, programs such as the squats which have been a fax vorite through the years, the bench press and a few others well known {o all bodybuilders. He also. likes chins and press behind neck and always tries to include some of these exercises. He tries to do var- fons of chest work, triceps and biceps work as well as laterals for deltoids. These variations and changes of program are done mostly for vari ety in training to keep his interest high rather than because he thinks itis an improvement in muscle building tho he does not rule out the fact that one should do many different exercises at different times for proper development. He does use quite a number of exercises in his programs. Perhaps 10 to 15 depending on what he likes at the time, It would be impossible to ve a program and sav that this is what built Boyer Coe or to say that this program is his favorite for he has not a favorite program and only a few favorite exercises and the basic exercises that every- fone uses are mostly his favorites. He savs that he ‘has always done a lot of squats, bench presses, chins and presses behind neck as these are result producing exercises. At one time he was working out about three hours per workout but now takes about two hh working a little faster. It i cause he might not more but his time is limited since he is going to school and has to study a lot. He feels that 6 to 8 reps. on upper body exercises are best’ for him tho at times he will g0 to higher reps. Bo perhaps one month higher reps, say 8 to 12 and the following 2 do 6 to 8 reps.

Boyer says that perhaps one month he will use higher reps, say 8 to 10 or even 12 and the following month he may do 6 to 8 reps. This is again done for variety and to add interest to the program. He says that a lot of fellows will trains on low reps for bulk and on high reps for defi- nition and shape. He does not feel these high or low reps make much difference as far as the develop- ment is concerned. He says that nutrition is far more important, but more on that later. On the calf exercises he has always worked hard and goes up to about 12 sets or more of 15 repetitions. Right now he is going 10 to 12 reps. on te squats but at times does only to Boyer likes to do 4 or 5, sets fon most exercises and about 4 ¢x- crcises per body part, This as you fan see would give him about 20 exercises Which is quite a program, He likes to work his abdominals and calves every workout day but the rest of his body is worked out 2 days per week on a 6 day a week setup. In other words he may work his arms two days, his chest and back two days and his legs for two days. Of course this is a simplification for when he works his arms he will work his deltoids too and of course the arms and shoulders get some work when the back and chest is worked. By this type of schedule he can work 6 days per week without going stale. ‘This is slightly different than some fellows use when they work the upper body two days and their low- er body two days per week for a four day a week program, There are two methods of using this pro- gram. One would be to work the arms. two days in succession then the legs and then the back and chest in like manner. ‘The other method would be to work the arms Monday and Friday and the legs Tuesday “and Saturday and _the chest and back Thursday and Sun- day. Here again is opportunity to add variety to the programs with alternate methods of training. Boyer is presently separating the bodypart workouts by a day or so, as im the latter method, Coe has Worked especially hard on calves and deltoids all his life. His del- toids are his stubborn muscles, hence the special work for them. He always works his weak areas first so he can give it more attention. Strange as. it may seem his arms respond quite easily to work and so he does not spend as much time on them tho he has some of the finest arms in the world. He uses medium heavy pound. ‘ages in his exercises. In the bench press for instance he will start out Boyer Coe has one of the most exceptional back developments in the world today. He attends college at Lafayette, Louisiana and will graduate this year He trains at the gym of former Mr, America, “Red” Lerille, Photo light and work up to 400 or more pounds for reps. and has gone as high as 475. In the squat he used to work up to about 485 but felt that he did not respond as well as when taking a Tighter weight and working up to 10 or so repetitions. He also feels that over a long per- iod of time, working with maxi- mum poundages in the squat and dead lift (or other exercises for that matter) places too much strain on the lower back. He has worked up to 550 in the dead lift, On his calf work he likes to do 3 different exercises for 5 seis of 15 reps. His favorite calf exercise 3 by A. Brooke. is the calf press on the leg press machine, He also feels that stretch- ing the calf muscles is a most im- portant part of calf exercise. At one time he did quite a little running but at present is not run- ning, We asked him if, he had special programs for working up to a contest and he remarked that he never changes his training method. ‘The only thing he does differently in preparing for a contest is t0 change his dict for greater_mus- cularity.

Then we see ‘him doing the incline bench press and then’ the triceps press with floor pulley.

He has ambitions of bring- ing his weight to about 220 if pos- sible then competing at about 215 next year. Actually Boyer is never out of condition and with his sys- tem of training he is always ready for a contest.

Two hours before the contest, 1 jog at pace of 8 to 9 minutes per mile for one-half hour in a, sweat suit to the point of perspiration on my brow. This one-half hour con- stitutes strenuous exercise, The heart rate should be anywhere from 130 to 180 beats per minute during the run, During this strenuous jogging, the blood supply to the skeletal mus cles increases from 1200 cc to 12,- 500ce. This is more than 10 fold increase from the resting state, How is this possible? ‘The running builds up internal heat and opens up many extra unused capillaries more than the usual preliminary warm-up as most boys do. Only a few capil- laries in the kidneys, abdomen and other organs less essential to the of- fort are open just for bare main- tenance of the organs. After the one-half hour run, I go to the show- ers. I have two ‘showers going — ‘oné hot and one cold, and the show- er spray should be sharp for the mechanical stimulus of percussion. ‘After, getting thoroughly hot in the hot shower, I switch quickly over to the cold and stay there until T feel real cold (about one minute) and then I switch over to the hot. ‘Now you can stand a hotter shower after a cold one, so I get it slightly hotter. T stay under the hot, shower until thoroughly warmed, then the cold shower again and ‘then hot, then finish up with cold. It is not wise to do. more than 3 alternate hhot and cold showers because. your nervous system can become fatigued. I vigorously towel myself dry, rest and eat oranges and my honey pol- Jen mixture, After resting one-half hour, I continue to warm up with ‘the weights, In this warmip T do, not do more than any other weight- 17 ‘Bob warms up properly but not excessively. Photo by White, lifter. For the dead lift I still, use the 5” height from the floor. After this warm-up I repeat the shower procedure. During ‘the resting per- ods it is best to be outside for fresh air, and keep warm. According to your recuperative powers, you can jegin three hours before the con- test or one hour; there is lots of room for personal experimentation. But one thing for sure is that you must not get too fatigued. The rationale of the jogging and barbell warm-up is to build internal hheat through running and continue it through hot and. cold showers and barbell warm-up to open capil- aries and then encourage them to stay open. The effect of the cold increases the rate of, thyroid hor- mone production. Moderate increase ‘of thyroxine usually makes muscles react with considerable vigor. But if too much thyroxine is fad, mus- cles become.weakened because of excess protein catabolism. The cold showers also, cause adrenal glands to hyperfunction, “Even such physio- Togical stimuli as a brief period of muscular work, excitement, ora short exposure to cold were suffi- ient to produce certain manifesta- ton, of alarm reaction, Le- Adreno- corte: warge.” (Han Selye— Stress of Life 1956.) i PSYCHING UP PROCEDURE About two weeks before the con- test I review my records of my Jefts in regular workouts and in past official contests. I go thru my Power Scrap and read about Bob Peoples of Johnson City, Tennessee, history's greatest dead’ lifter. In 1949 ‘at the age of 38 he lifted of- ficially 725% pounds at a body weight of 181.

In the § years of training he has won every major title, He first came into prominence jin 1964 when he won the Mr. East- em and Mr. Northern America at the age of only eighteen. In 1965 hhe won the Mr. Teenage title, Then in 1967 he went on to win the Jun- for and Senior Mr, America tile iat year he also competed in the NABBA Mr. Universe contest in London and came avery close second to the Austrian giant, Arnold Schwarzenegger. This defeat made Dennis all the more detedmined and he competed once more in the Mr. Universe contest. He won the title over very tongh competition, Jim Haislop of America (1968 Mr. ‘America) and Vic Downs of Canada were in the same competition. ‘At an age of 22, Dennis Tinerino hhas won every title of importance. He intends competing next year in the Professional Mr, Universe. Den- nis is very. impressive and has an ‘excellent all round physique with ‘no weak links, a quality rarely found in others. He is 6 ft, tall and weighs 225 Ibs. with 20 inch arms, 53 inch expanded chest, 3344 inch waist, 27 daily workouts lasting just over two hours. He concentrates on all round development and his routine includes movements for each body part. Normally, he will train only four times a week, but prior to a con test increases his workouts to six.

Tricep— 1, Lying dumbbell extension 6x8 2, Pulley tricep pushdown 6x8 Dennis Tinerino’s general _phil- cosophy is simple and worth taking nete of. Training for health should be the prime factor and personal satisfaction second. Most contest ants take their training too serious ly and overlook the all important health aspect,At upper Ieft Tinerino does the triceps press on bench, then the triceps press on Iat machine, then the bent arm pullover, all affecting the triceps very strongly. Seated laterals with dumbbells come next, then seated dumbbell presses and press behind neck followed by the upright rowing, for a terrific workout for the deltoids, For the lats he likes the wide fat pulldown on machine while kneeling, and the bent over rowing. The legs are worked with the leg extension ‘and the leg curls. Below we see him working his waist with what we call the Super Leg Raise that works much more than the abdominals, then the incline situp. Abdominals are important in Tinerino’s ‘raining, because of the improved appearance that good abdominals add to the physique. Many fellows neglect the abdominals for some reason, and we have rezorted the fact that some men have refused to exercise their abdominals altogether because they are afraid that the thickening will add more size to the waist. We don’t know where the idea came from that a tiny waist is ideal. Sure, you must have a trim waist with no fat, but a tiny waist js a weak waist. A man's waist should be heavily muscled, square and solid, but devoid of any fat, with maximum muscular development, and we believe you will find this the case with most ideal physiques. There is a bad habit of sucking in the waist before meacuring it, and this gives a misleading measurement. Many of the top men haye a normal waist measure of 33 or 34, which is what it should be.

Sometimes these ‘pumpers’ so. flush their muscles that they seem to almost blow up out of shape. And when this is done con- stantly over a period of time the muscle takes on a permanent swol- en look which is very different in- deed from the bodybuilder’s original concept of masculine beauty. Few can put their finger on whai they don't like. All they know is that something seems wrong. The body is slightly puffy—a little’ bloated, perhaps. It lacks individual shape and seems to be blown out to a characterless mass of hypertrophy. Do you know what I mean? Actually this method of using many sets of the same exercise. is fone of the quickest ways of gaining muscular bodyweight. But flushing ‘the muscles this way does not give you the body personality that other forms of training do. In fact, the multi-set, system DETRACTS from the physique where individual body character is concerned, especially when one really. starts ‘packing. on the muscle, It is an undisputable fact that the bigger one gets from using this kind of training, the less unique one appears aesthetically Your body starts to lose its shape, individualism and character. Men who build up their muscles entirely from pumping are missing out on one of nature’s greatest attributes: personal individuality. Somehow multi-pumping sets continued ove a long petiod of time have a uni forming effect. Sure you get bis Sure you have wide shoulders, big pecs and legs, a small waist, etc, but if you train solely by ‘using these basic pumping principles you will emerge, not from an individual mould as nature intended, but from a hyperthetical factory ' conveyor- belt where scores of one product are manufactured, almost. identical, As I said earlier, the set system of continuous pump has a great deal to recommend it as a musclebuilder and I believe should be utilized by every bodybuilder from time to time, But to maintain at least a modicum of ruggedness and in- dividual character, I believe the bodybuilder should embark period- ically on a system of “different” movements, or at least a different way of performing them. More var- fety is needed, more attack from different angles. And what better way of going about this than under- taking t0 formulate a PHA schedule tailored to your needs? So many seem to be under the impression that they should follow the PHA system because it is good for them. This is all very true, but an identical effect on the respiratory organs can be obtained by @ ten minute run. And for those of you who care to extend this, time spent jogging, by an added fifteen min- utes, the benefits can‘be tripled, and a basic respiratory and_cireulatory fitness can be attained that NO am- ‘ount of PHA could produce. I myself have followed, and will at least periodically, continue to follow the PHA system for one reason only: to maintain physique individvality’ and person: know that PHA tends to increase basic metabolism; fine! We know that PHA enables us to train in a non-stop fashion and thereby al- lows more exercise to be done a shorter period of time. Agai fine! But few seem to_ recognize ‘one of the greatest benefits of this system; it gives you the kind of body that exudes individuality. With PHA (combined with good health and nutritional habits) one gets big- ger while retaining body character, as opposed to the pumping system where one inadveriently blows up ‘muscles until they lack any individ- ual personality traits. They appear puffy and seldom inspire anyone ‘except the out and out size enthus- jast (who is usually very young and impressionable). ‘Now that the top men in body- building are able to build immense size, we are beginning to realize that in our effort to build bulk we are missing out on the real issue: “attractiveness.” We have lost. our perspective, Our ideals of building ‘our bodies in God's image, to en- hance and bring out the’ natural muscular beauty of the male phy- sique, has been left for the birds. It seems we have become solely inier- ested in breeding muscular _phen- ‘omena instead of handsome, ‘mus- ‘cular, male physiques! In my opinion itis time we stopped and took a long Took at ourselves. at seems sad to ime that words "like- “beautiful”, “graceful,” “and “handsome” have disappeared from bodybuilding ter- minology. Are we frightened of De- ing labeled “homosexuals” or “ef Seminates” if we use them? I just don't know!

The modern tendency toward awe- a Seldom do you see such definition or cuts, as some like to call them, in combination with such huge bulk, is shown in this photo of Boyer Coe as he posed at the Mr. USA Show. some, almost grotesque massiveness is so wrong that it appalls almost everyone. As Earle Liederman says: “T have seen some of these muscle ‘beach phenomenon even cause dors to bark at them as they strut along the beach with their tensed “muse cles.” Be big by all means fellas, but avoid blowing out your masces to the point where you appear super natural.

I believe this to be a very fine way to train, Ash goes on to suggest that in his opin (Continued on page 78)Janko Rudman poses with the fine trophy which he won as “Mr. Europe.” Photo by Dakmen, In the photo below are the three top men in the Mr. OR the first time the Mr. Eur- Ope. contest was organized by the official Verband Deutscher Han- felsportler e.V., the registered Ger- ‘man Body Building Federation, in the city of Essen.

Incentive is one of the most im- portant aspects of any endeavor and especially so in weight training. Most enthusiastic weight men know that half-hearted effort can_ only give half-way results. This is primar- ily what separates’ the champion bodybuilders from the also-rans. Surely, top muscle men like Bill Pearl 'and. others, put that extra something into their workouts that made them great. Tf T were to accuse you of never having been physiologically tired, you would probably disagree with ime. Yet this is true. Even the most fanatical trainers rarely reach the point of being that tired, You see, being physiologically tired is reach- ing the point of not being able to perform a single movement mors, even under a condition of extreme motivation. This would happen when further improvemens were not possible and nature protects us from ever reaching that level. Other- wise we would soon burn ourselves ut, in the physical sense. Therefore it is obvious the tiredness we feel is psychological. The greater, the mo- tivation the fewer are the” psycho- logical barriers to discourage us; but only under the most extreme motiv- ation do we overcome the psycho- logical tiredness and really approach the physiological tiredness, It stands to reason that those persons who 23 Keep themselves adequately rested and well motivated will never reach full physiological tiredness but will be able to train to the limit that will give them, maximum benefits from their workouts, ‘As T mentioned, a person rarely reaches a point of true tiredness. Yet it seems so easy to miss a workout by saying, “I'm too tired,” or “Til make this up next time.” People today can find so many ex- cuses for being lazy, it makes one wonder just what the populace may be coming to! The obvious fact that most weight trainers are irregular frainers coincides with their in- centive spurts.
