In Part 2 of Pre Steroid-Era Training Protocols, we keep the pre-steroid era lens on but bring it forward—pulling lessons from the past into how you can fine-tune your “now.” Rep schemes, recovery, fatigue management, and why progression models likely still need a bit of human touch. Wrapping up with the introduction of Arthur Jones’ Nautilus machines, and romanticizing the minimalist, burly, barbell garage Dad.
