They had protein powder in 1926?

Out of curiosity, I looked up Weider (who was probably one of the first supplement companies) and they started making supplements in 1957. I guess at that time Hepburn would have been 31 so it's definitely possible that he used protein powder.... ha ha... not that any one gives a fuck :D I just saw protein powder and 1926 and was surprised.

Here's another article on Doug Hepburn's training that Meatplow posted in another thread. It goes over the same training rules. Sample routine is at the bottom.

Mahler's Aggressive Strength Kettlebell Training
Click to expand...

Mahler couldn't resist on modifying it to more strength endurance style of a thing with added kettle bells. Now Im not saying that Hepburn never used kettlebells, maybe he did, but the idea Im gathering from those two articles made me think more like militart press and deadlift on day one and weighted pull-ups and squats on the other or nominate an entire day to one lift and lift more often.

Over all good read and sound logic from the ye olde big brute.

Mahler paired kettlebell swings with squats. I would drop the kettlebell swings and just do the squats.

He added one kettlebell exercise to the routine - what a scam!

It said he was born in 1926. I think the earliest versions of protein powder was dried milk.

Side note: I believe AST Sports Science claims to have marketed the first whey protein powder.
 
Wait...

He made shakes loaded with milk, juice, eggs, protein powder, and honey, and often drank them during his workouts to keep his energy high

Didnt claim that. That just what people with a specific interest do. By the way he also added antagonist pairings. No mention of them either on the articles. I belive DH recomended not to do more than three different lifts per session if your lifting twice a week.

Besides Mahler wrote on the same article that DH knows lifting better than you do, so do it like he says, and then goes about making a routine of his own.

Naturally ten sets of Military press followd by ten sets of deadlift dont look as sexy as A-1 90sec A-2 kettlebell....

Not that Im dissin' Mahler at all. And definately aint calling him a scam. Prolly still a good work out, but it aint what was described earlier.

Yep. Sorry.

Not a problem... I actually questioned protein powder in 1926 in my first post... that was a fuck up on my part. You were just one post too late. :icon_chee
 
Found this article:

Splendid Specimens: The History of Nutrition in Bodybuilding

In the late 1930s a young pharmacist named Eugene Schiff developed a method of processing whey from milk for human consumption. He created Schiff Bio-Foods, a whey packaging company. This was a half century before whey concentrates would emerge as a popular supplement in the bodybuilding scene. For a short time he sold his packaged whey to local drug stores, then sold his own store to enter into the manufacturing and packaging of health foods.

Schiff focused on supplements made from natural products. He began to experiment with whole foods such as brewer

Yeah, didn't proteins powders get started in the 60's, then became popular in the 80's. I keep hearing people say that 'old school builder builders used to down dozens of raw eggs a day before protein powders'.
 
I finally got done reading it, pretty good article. I wish I could get a massage every 2 weeks :mad:
