Who knows how many teenagers in the 1960s bought Strength & Health magazine primarily to inhale John McCallum's articles - he taught us to squat, how to achieve success through hard work, and how to care for our health as we built size and strength, and the whole time, he entertained us with his stories filled with such characters as the legendary Maurice Jones, the mythical Marvin, and the mountainous Doug Hepburn. Here they are: the full collection of the original John McCallum articles, classic gems. If you were to only buy one book - ever - on how to train, this is it. 288 pp.

What time’d you cut out?” “Three-thirty,” the first young man said. “I never hit the cool whites till four.” “Quarter past for me,” said.

Brain a real workout, and you could play it sitting down. I quit when it got too specialized. You’ve got to specialize to be a winner, but it was taking too much of my time and changing my way of life. Even my conversation was getting restricted. I’d always been able to babble away like everyone else, but I got to the point where I was walking around in a daze and grumbling that I hadn’t had a hand since Columbus was a cowboy. The specialists were winning, but it took me a long time to admit.

Secret.” The three young men exchanged I-told-you-so looks. “Just one?” said the first young man. “Just one,” said the gym owner. “What’s that?” “Desire.” The three young men looked wide-eyed at each other and then back to the gym owner. “How’s that, dad?” said the first young man. “Desire,” said the gym owner. “That’s the one and only secret of success.” He leaned forward in his chair. “The burning desire to build your body into what it can be.

They’re an offshoot of the common push-up, only a heck of a lot more result producing.
