All great trainers will be able to tell you the very first book they referenced when they began workout out. For some, the ACSM/NSCA/ACE/NASM study guide was their first understanding and set-up to the modern world of exercise. For others it was a professionally written book by a famous coach, doctor, athlete, competitor, or bodybuilder. Who can forget Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “New Encylopedia for Modern Bodybuilding”, with the cover portraying Arnold’s solid shoulder and bicep musculature in black and white. The reason for mentioning these books is that they often times precede particular philosophies when it comes to strength, fitness, and health. A person reading Arnold Schwarzenegger’s book will have considerably different opinions compared to someone reading a book by Doctor Oz or Jillian Michaels. Regardless of how you feel about the “correct” approach to achieving your fitness goals, remember that having an open mind to new ideas, modes of exercise and fitness, new strategies to progression, training frequency, and even sets and reps can help you determine the best way to accomplish your goals, when you want to achieve them.
The very first book I can remember back to working with and reading through was Getting Stronger by Bill Pearl. In the book, Mr. Pearl explains everything from exercise by sport, to nutrition, to posing techniques for bodybuilders, to supplementation. After reading the book by about the 5th time, I noticed that Mr. Pearl mentioned he was a lacto-ovo vegetarian. Lacto-ovo vegetarians consume nuts, eggs, and milk as their main sources of protein but do not consume meat products or fish. It struck me as quite shocking that this seemingly huge man would be a vegetarian by any means. While there are some benefits to a vegetarian diet, I am not advocating for the diet itself but rather that we consider that even a Mr. Olympia champion, someone who we associate with the highest levels of athletic achievements, is open to thinking in a unique and independent manner. I admire Bill Pearl for his accomplishments and open thinking throughout the book as it taught me that the greatest athlete isn’t one who follows a standard program to perfection, but instead is a free thinking individual that is willing to adapt, incorporate, learn, and progress.
Every great trainer has a book of exercise knowledge that they started with. These books help for the basis to the knowledge that we have in the exercise community. While traditional hard, blood sweat and tears programs can help you make progress and improve, opening your mind to the possibilities outside your comfort zone will allow you to select a more perfect program. I invite everyone to challenge the conventional wisdom, to experiment, to learn and grow, as these are often times the best ways to find what will work best. Please, learn the basics for experts like Bill Pearl or Arnold Schwarzenegger, but learn where they also fall short. The best plan will be the one where you have the most knowledge about the outcome and results. Medical journals, professional journals, experts, and books are a great place to start.
My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words.
