How to be Strong, Healthy and Happy: (Original Version, Restored)

It’s an ok book..

Being a Olympic coach i would write him.a letter @ 13-14 ask him questions about weight lifting/ Bodybuilding & get his books gor shipping! Protein the Building Blocks of lifr@ Thanks Dr Bob you did the best with the knowledge you had! Love you@

I owned this book when I first started weight training in the 1960's. It contains information on training, diet and lessons on training a healthy mind within a healthy body. My old copy was passed on to others and I purchased this as a return to my roots.

I’m gonna have to reorder this books again, gave it to a buddy but I want it back. Funny, awesome, poignant, DAMN

Author keeps repeating the same thing over and over (could have been written in less the 100 pages), doesn't provide anything specific about training or nutrition or anything really, just a bunch of generalities repeated endlessly. Captions beneath photos and charts are so blurry they are unreadable. Has 3 routines near the very end but no exercise descriptions so no one will know how to perform them, and with their odd sounding names you won't recognize what they are. He states he wrote this in 10 days. It shows.

Everyone should read this

nothing special

This is one of the greatest books ever written about health & strength by a man who knows what he is writing about. I still have my original (very worn) copy, which I purchased from York Barbell co. over 50 years ago. I am going to order a new copy from Amazon. This book covers everything you need to know to build a strong healthy body & also mind, as he covers the mental/emotional aspects of health as well. Do yourself a favor and toss out all your new "muscle mags" and buy, read and put into practice the recommendations in this book. You will be better for it.

If you can be happy after surviving ww1 and in todays world, we can prove he was right on so many levels. He got things wrong too but whatever 1938.
