How I Won Mr America eBook

The cover calls it what it is: how Frank won the Mr. America, Mr. Universe and Mr. World titles. It is his record of the training discoveries he found useful in his own preparation, written from what he describes as treating his body as a living laboratory, running controlled experiments, collecting data and keeping a record of what worked.

He is direct about who it is for. The material is advanced and he asks you to have been training for at least six months to a year before applying it. He is equally direct that these are natural bodybuilding laws that will not work identically for everyone, because metabolism, bone structure and leverages differ, so the instruction is to try each method and modify where it does not suit you.

It opens on misconceptions, on being objective about your own physique and planning your training around what it actually needs rather than what your ego wants. One line sums up the tone of the whole book: the contests he lost were his biggest help.
