When it comes to health and fitness,
here’s why the “old-school” methods are still the best…

If you want to build muscle, strip off bodyfat and achieve optimum fitness, you could try any one of the thousand new plans that pop up every year.

Or you could make it easy on yourself and follow the tried-and-true strategies that have worked for nearly 100 years.

Want to gain weight, build muscle and develop brute strength? Joseph C. Hise figured out how to do that nearly 80 years ago… and there’s still no better method for natural trainers.

Want to lose weight and peel off body fat? Believe it or not, a London carpenter figured out a fast and easy way to lose all the weight you want - way back in 1862.

Want to learn how to maximize vitality and achieve optimum health? Then you can ignore most modern advice because a dentist named Weston Price figured out exactly how to prevent disease and ensure maximum health…. Back in the 1930’s.

Not only were some of the optimal methods of health and fitness developed decades ago, but health and fitness information has actually gotten worse!

Here are four reasons why much of today’s “modern” health and fitness advice is often worse than the health and fitness instruction developed nearly a century ago:

Reason #1: Steroids

Arnold Schwarteneggar is by far the most famous bodybuilder in history. So when he released his first book Education of A Bodybuilder in 1977, millions of people followed his advice to the letter. Yet few, if any, saw results. Why?

Because Arnold Schwartenegger is an admitted steroid-user. And steroid-users will see results from many training programs that would bury a drug-free trainer.

Yet, nowhere in the book does Arnold mention the fact that he used steroids or that a natural trainer should try something different.

The truth of matter is, once a person decides to use steroids he is no longer qualified to give advice to drug-free trainers.

Reason #2: Genetics

Just as a steroid-user cannot tell a drug-free trainer how to get in shape, a genetically-gifted individual should not tell a normal person how to train for best results.

Yet, there are many genetically-gifted individuals who try to tell genetically-average trainers the best way to train for maximum results. Predictably, the genetically-average trainer who follows the routine of a genetically-gifted trainer will see poor results.

What do I mean when I say, “Genetically-gifted?”

Here’s an example:

Professional bodybuilder Jay Cutler once gave an interview where he revealed this fact:

“The first time I ever walked into a weight room was when I was 16. On my very first day I bench pressed 315lbs…. and I had never lifted weights before.”

That’s a perfect example of someone blessed with great genetics for strength training and bodybuilding. While most of us will struggle for years to bench press 300 pounds, this guy walked into the gym and bench pressed 315lbs on his very first day. Combine excellent genetics with heavy steroid use and that’s how you get to be a top professional bodybuilder today.

Reason #3: Lies, Lies, Lies!

It’s bad enough that most of today’s modern fitness advice comes from people blessed with great genetics and steroid-popping bodybuilders. But the worst part is, many of them lie about their genetics and drug use!

How many times have you seen a huge, ripped bodybuilder claim “If I can do it, anybody can do it.”

Truth is, unless you were blessed with the right parents and have $20,000 a month to spend on illegal steroids, there’s no way you’re going to end up looking like today’s Mr. Universe.

And these damaging lies can lead you astray and waste years of training time.

Here’s an example:

In the 1950’s, certain members of the American weight lifting team started making incredible gains. Their coach told everyone the members were making such great gains because of a brand new training system of “isometrics.” (Isometrics is the practice of pushing against an immovable object as hard as you can.”

But that’s a lie. The reason these weight lifters were making such incredible gains is because they had just started taking Dianabol - a powerful anabolic steroid.

Yet hundreds of articles and courses were developed on the principle of isometrics. Even today, you will still see people selling isometric information courses - even though the entire isometrics craze was founded upon a lie almost 70 years ago!

Which brings us to the fourth reason why modern health and fitness advice is inferior to old-school instruction…

Reason #4: Money

Did you know that one of the most popular protein shakes on the market today was originally developed and sold as dog food?

Or that most of today’s health and fitness magazines are actually OWNED by supplement companies?

Or how about the fact that powerful pharmaceutical companies rake in billions per year selling cholesterol lowering drugs-even though there has NEVER been a conclusive study linking high cholesterol levels to heart disease?

Truth is, much of today’s modern health and fitness advice has nothing to do with health and fitness. It’s generated to create profit for wealthy share holders.
