Training Principles;

Joe weider has popularized a set of training principles over the past twenty years, probably longer as i've known about them for that long, known as the the weider system of training. I guess he was the first to sit down and make a list and put his name on them for a book and use them on his clients with much success. Is he the first one to discover these principles, i highly doubt it, but he was the one to put them all together in book form and release them to the public. I am sure that many bodybuilders were using some form or another of these techniques for many, many years before joe came along, he was just smart enough to put them together in a system. There are plenty of weightlifters all around the world that never heard of these principles, yet use some form of them in their training everyday. You may even use some or all at some point in your own training. I went into my library the other day and began to reread some old books that i have not touched in years and found them to be just as informative as when i first got them twenty years ago, and no i am not that old, i was younger twenty years ago! Anyway, for those of you like me that need a refresher or those of you that are much younger and have never even heard of joe weider except for the fact that his name is on the Mr. Olympia bb show, I will begin to give a short detailed version of some of his training principles that have been valuable to me over the years. You probably know some or most of them but this will help you see them in a little different light, just like when you workout with your mind connected to the muscle ,you are working that muscle much more thoroughly, explaining these techniques in detail may bring up some points to tweak your already intense workouts. In this case you can teach a new dog new tricks and old ones better tricks!
