Statement of intent
I have absolutely no interest in drug-assisted training. But I am not
naive. I know a great deal about the appalling mess of drugs in the
world of weight training. Because I am only interested in drug-free
training, and primarily concerned with satisfying the needs of the
hard-gaining masses, some of the methods and values promoted
in this book are heretical relative to much of what is customary in
gyms today. ere is no other approach to take if training methods
that are practical and helpful for drug-free typical people are to be
promoted.
Never forget that the phenomenal success enjoyed by so few
bodybuilders is primarily due to their great genetic advantage
compounded by drug assistance. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise
is either ignorant, or confused between fact and fiction. And
all drug-assisted (and drug-free) genetic phenomena do not have
a clue how to train drug-free genetically typical people. Always
keep that in mind when you hunt for help with your own training.
e imitating of inappropriate role models has been largely if
not totally responsible for the poor bodybuilding progress had by
most serious gym members throughout the world.

The pivotal truth
Achieving your potential for muscle and might demands extraordinary
discipline and dedication. ere is no place for half measures,
corner cutting, laziness or lukewarm enthusiasm. If you do not
train well, rest well, sleep well and eat well, you will get nowhere or
make only minimal progress. And you need the full package on an
unrelenting basis if you are to make the fastest progress possible.
ere is no room for compromise!
You alone are responsible for your dedication and discipline. e
buck stops with you. How much do you want a terrific physique?
Are you prepared to do everything necessary other than use drugs?
Are you prepared to give your absolute best shot? If you are, you
are reading the right book.
