Fact or Fiction 1

A couple of quotes from an article in May 1982 Iron Man, one of the first bodybuilding magazines I ever bought and one of the most sensible.

Stop worrying about your training and fretting over your diet.  Train hard and briefly using progressively heavier and heavier weights, get as much rest as you need between workouts and eat a healthy well varied diet.  Base your diet on natural foods as nature intended rather than on refined and processed foods....

Those people who expound the absolute need for dietary supplements, exotic training courses and specialist equipment nearly always have vested commercial interests in the perpetuation of these myths. Please learn from mine and many other people's mistakes and stop being misled by bodybuilding fiction.

From Bodybuilding Fact and Fiction by Stuart McRobert, in Iron Man May 1982 issue.

You know, 31 years after that was written and perhaps 30 years after I first read it I am realising how little things have changed.  This is what I've been getting at with some of my recent posts.
