Bob Shaefer's guide to Strength and Health, plus MMA Updates on TJ Ball and Roger Bowling! Photos click here..some with links

A Must Read http://www.otcnaturalcures.com by Shane Ellison. Available thru Amazon.com This book could save your life. Learn the truth about the dangers of modern medicine.

If you think Modern Medicine and synthetic drugs will be your doorway to a long life of health....take a look in any Doctor's waiting room and think again. Good health only comes to those willing to exercise and see through the scams of big Pharma and killer drugs. The medical profession is just that...a profession and nothing more. Health doesn't even play a part in their scheme or purpose. Oh yeah...about our illustrious forthcoming health care proposals.

Do you really think these money hungry, law makers care? Then why do we still have cigarettes for sale in every store throughout this country. C'mon folks...wake up.

 

                                      MMA is here to Stay!

In the last 10 years, we have watched the UFC ( and lately fast rising MMA Big Show) take this Sport from one, once considered brutal and barbaric, to a highly sophisticated competition involving two highly trained competitors. No stone is left unturned to put safety first. Arena shows are highly entertaining and loaded with fights. After spending decades involved in another undisciplined physical sport, governed, in general by men with little to no vision or interest in preserving the purity of natural human strength, unassisted by a slew of garments acting as cloth hydraulic jacks....it's refreshing to see MMA Big Show get it's well deserved respect and outstanding success. May it forever continue to grow and prosper.  Physical competition of any sort, should be pursued without using specialized clothing in an effort to create the illusion of superiority. Thus, we see MMA growing like a wildfire in summer, and "That Other" sport wallowing in obscurity. Sad. Although not even close in game description and objectivity, the point remains....10 years with proper guidance took one sport to the pinnacle and the other, treading water. I see pro boxing fading from a fan active sport as well. Just my opinions of course. After seeing my first MMA event June 20th (Jason Appleton's MMA Big Show) in person, I can honestly say I have never spent a more entertaining evening at any other event in my entire life.

Following The Sheep Off The Cliff

Tell me...what would be your definition of common sense? Wouldn't it be roughly defined as

one's own inner beliefs on a subject, even though a majority of others were in complete

disagreement? In other words, maybe you had a gut feeling that made more sense, (concerning a specific topic) than the one being popularly pounded into the heads of the majority.

Now let's back track a little and make some comparisons. Before Modern Medicine, we had Homeopathic Medicine ( Unhampered by Billion Dollar Pharmaceutical companies).

The common seasonal flu wasn't named after poor animals or birds. The masses weren't brainwashed

into thinking synthetic lab chemicals would improve their health. Doctors of old would use natural substances that were within safe boundaries among the majority, if not all of his patients.

Common sense told us this virus had to run it's course once the germ entered the body.

So natural elements may allow a little comfort but never actually stop the virus in it's tracks.

The problem was, none of these natural substances could be patented and sold at extremely obscene prices. Back to this gut feeling. Doesn't common sense even whisper a hint to you that synthetic chemicals should never be ingested in any form? If this question causes you to stop and think

for more than a few seconds, then you may as well stop reading now, or you'll be late following the other sheep off the cliff.

 

One word describes what has taken place over the years. “Money”. It's the evil driving force behind the

ever degrading responsibility of this country's Corporate Mega Rich to “Do no harm”. Modern Pharmaceutical Companies are bound to making their share holders rich. Their power is at the top of this smoke and mirrors chain. No General Practitioner can be free of their demands without severe wrist slapping...so to speak. Should one brave GP

venture outside the lines of their code of systematic fear mongering for profit...then it's R.I.P.

for that poor GP's financial future.

Is it any wonder that almost all General Practitioners are falling in step with the latest bid to rake in millions

of dollars by duping the population into thinking they may die any day without a shot?

Let's not forget the shot is loaded with poison. Mercury to be specific. Oh no...my Doctor wouldn't risk my central nervous system just for profit. Think again.

Pain: Take your pick...The satisying muscle pain after exercise or the horrible, intense pain that comes from dormancy and laziness.

           Defining True Physical Strength




First we have to define the definition of the word "True".
In my mind, as applied to a feat of physical strength,
the definition would be simple. Unassisted, and solely performed by an
individual
without help from human, animal or mechanical trickery.
One so called sport of strength falls short of these definitions in the worst way.

Can you guess which one?
I Unofficially renamed it "Power Simulating" because the original concept and name,
"Powerlifting" no longer can be applied as the true definition.
The clothing trickery has reached such an extreme level of support, just
about anyone can claim to be a "Powerlifter" now.

So..for anyone new to the game (can't rightly call it a sport any
longer), if you happen to review the record stats of one of the various
Federations, Be aware that the numbers will almost always be
false. The only "true" physical power sports left would be "Strongman Events" or "Olympic Lifting".

So now you know why powerlifting has gone from a televised, realistic event to a secondary school

lunch room event of mostly over geared wanabees and a few of their
relatives.
These folks have developed several clever ways to try to justify their actions but any clear thinking adult will quickly see through the cheap
talk and worthless records that were stolen from true
strength Athletes of old.
The three disciplines of powerlifting will always be one of the best and =most efficient ways to train for true, overall strength.

Only the competition venue has been ruined. But don't let this stop you from applying the lifts to improve your performances in any number of other "Legit" sports.



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Congratulations goes out to TJ Ball...winner of the 205 pound class at the MMA Big Show (Conviction) June 20th in 44 seconds of the first round.


 

TJ. Ball..Watching The Talent Unfold

It's early 90s...93 roughly. I had just opened for business in my small (The Underground) gym.

In walked three young High School boys, roughly 17 years old. They were curious and the look on their faces did nothing to hide the fact. Of the three, TJ Ball was one of those boys. With a bit of chit chat, we discovered their Football Coach was an old friend of mine. Soon all three were joining. TJ weighed about 155 at the time but could manage a 300 pound single on the flat bench. After a few weeks, it was obvious TJ was serious about his training. But his previous strength training left much to be desired if he would continue gaining and avoid injury. So the process of change began. Not always comfortable with the changes but always willing to adjust, TJ's gains came at a steady and satisfying pace for years to come.

His natural strength and ability to grasp a specific strength building concept of a multi joint training philosophy, told me he would someday reach a level of athletic superiority far beyond that of his Peers. Soon students and friends noticed as all of this unfolded. My membership was growing and I could see it was largely TJ's doing. So I told him, “For every member you add to the roster, I'll discount $10 from your Monthly dues". Long story short...he had so many kids joining that I couldn't keep track of the discounts he had coming, so I just said “Screw it, work out for free from now on”. In the coming years, TJ won State lifting titles and even set a few State Teen records. Words can't describe the drive he had as a teen, (And still has). TJ always carried a bit of doubt about his own virtues but everyone in the gym knew he was special. Not just physically but in every aspect of his humble personality and willingness to help others. I can honestly say, TJ had as much, if not more to do with the success of that gym than myself. To this day, TJ and I are as close as friends can be. The gym has been closed for 9 years. TJ trains for a more serious venue now. Yes, powerlifting laid the foundation but TJ made it work by consistency and always taking each set to the limit without sacrificing form. Now an MMA Star for MMA Big Show, both his athletic ability and humble personality will certainly take him beyond his wildest dreams But a few of his friends won't be surprised one bit. Certainly not me.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. TJ eventually benched 605 at a regulation contest in Circleville Ohio.

So why is it?

Modern medicine claims to have made such exciting strides in their advancements since the advent of multi billion dollar Pharmaceutical companies. Strides in what??? Advancements in what? Their ability to scam America and get mega wealthy?

If they meant advancements in ways to prevent disease or cure, Then one need only check the growing number of Diabetics, Cancer victims, CHF sufferers, etc. to realize what an outright lie this is.

If anyone thinks Modern Synthetic, pill pushing medicine is anything more than a way to bleed Americans of their cash while endangering their lives with

 their products.........Well you aren't really thinking, now are you?

Order another Pizza and watch football. Your Doctor will always have a few prescriptions to overcome any ill effects from your undisciplined lifestyle.

These Medical Criminals are laughing and enjoying their successes in pulling off the biggest scam known to man.

Read a few paragraphs from "the people's chemist" website by Mr. Shane Ellison. If that doesn't convince you of the truth in what's been said here, then join the poor souls destined to fall prey to this scam and suffer the results.

You'll not be lonely....headed for disaster but not lonely.

   Beginner Bodybuilding and Pseudo Science

Pseudo science is false science, unsubstantiated by facts. The claim is to be
the real thing, but in reality, it's manipulative falsehood. Pseudo science manipulates the
feeble minded through numerous fallacies and advertising schemes.
People likely to fall prey to these lies are Newbies,.... individuals looking for an easy
way out and those without a strong foundation in logic and true science.
There are a multitude of dangers for individuals who fall prey to pseudo science. If
they believe the false lies claimed by these deceivers, they will inevitably fall into a
state of discouragement. For instance, hundreds of advertisements make bold claims
such as, "I took [insert a supplement] and gained 50 pounds of muscle while losing fat,
in 3 months". Or, "After using [insert a weight lifting machine] for 3 months, in
combination with a proper diet, I was able to shed 30 pounds of fat, and achieve my
goal of competing on stage". "Thank you [insert product's name]". "If I can do it, so can
you". Surely the reader is familiar with this unscientific, false advertising. Now, the young
weight trainer who falls prey to this may find him or herself, on the verge of quitting, soon
after they discover gains will never come this easy. This sport is hard work, and
if you are looking to become a pro or even a successful amateur in a short time, you‘re fooling yourself. There
is no easy way and anyone who thinks otherwise, is in for a big disappointment.
Satisfaction comes from long periods of hard work so enjoy the labor.
