What’s New!
The library has been updated to include a section completely dedicated to the Mail Order Manuals of the Stars of the Golden Era of Bodybuilding. The very same Training Manuals that were advertised in the pages of the Vintage Bodybuilding Magazines from the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s.
The first manuals to be featured are the Mike Mentzer Heavy Duty Training booklets for Shoulders, Chest and Back.
Both Manuals were electronically donated by Mike Held.
Enjoy!
Monthly Featured Magazine
This month’s featured international magazine is the May 1969 edition of Dave Prowse Power Fitness Health Sport. Many of you would associate Dave with his role as Darth Vader in the original Star Wars Trilogy. The cover features a young Frank Richard. The magazine itself features some excellent articles on Frank Richard, Wayne Gallasch and John Citrone.
