Moment of Bodybuilding Zen 8: Jim Haislop, Mr. America

Jim Haislop won the Mr. America in 1968. His incredible symmetry, proportion, and size had many bodybuilding experts proclaiming him one of the best bodybuilders ever, even better than Steve Reeves and Reg Park.

When he competed at 5’11”, he weighed in at around 210 pounds with a 32” waist and true 19” arms…

And Haislop was mass with class, which is obvious from the shot of him with his Mr. America trophy—looking suave like a real-life Johnny Bravo but with lower-body muscle. LOL

One of the most popular way to train back in the ‘60s was heavy/light or, as we call it, Power/Density. Mixing heavier, lower-rep training with lighter, higher rep and/or shorter rests is a sure-fire way to get mass in ALL muscle fiber types…

And if you’re a bodybuilder, you want to maximize the size of every last fiber in all of your muscle groups—maximum hypertrophy. Why waste your time training the type 1 “endurance” fibers?

Remember what researcher Jerry Brainum said recently:

It’s now known that type-1 [slow-twitch] fibers are also capable of showing a significant level of muscular hypertrophy.

Getting growth in BOTH the slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers maximizes muscle volumization. In other words, you get a more overall “swole effect” for freaky muscle size.

A great way to do that is with our Power/Density programs for each muscle. For more on that, see out ebook The Ultimate Power-Density Mass Workout 2.0.

That ebook includes Mr. America Doug Brignole’s Super TORQ program.

Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.

To celebrate selling nearly 2 million bottles of their premium probiotic formula Pro-X10®, the founders of BioTrust Nutrition want to reward anyone who visits the link below today with a FREE 30-count bottle of this revolutionary gut-health yielding, muscle-building probiotic supplement… with ZERO strings attached! 

It’s truly FREE (no autoship, no future charges – nothing; you pay only a small shipping fee). The premium and patented ingredients in Pro-X10 have been shown through research to:

  • Significantly decrease the “bad” pathogenic, health-derailing, muscle-stifling bacteria in your gut

  • Begin working ULTRA fast, with positive results seen in lab tests in as little as 5 short hours (while other traditional probiotics take weeks or months to improve your gut flora ratio, if ever)

Talk about research-backed results, not to mention off-the-chart muscle gains with renewed nutrient assimilation! Stop wasting workouts due to a “bad” gut. You’ve got nothing to lose, and plenty of new muscle to gain. Go to…
