The Physician and Sports Medicine: Strength Training for Women: Debunking Myths That Block Opportunity: 5 maj 1998

Traditional gender roles and differences in absolute strength have resulted in misconceived approaches to strength training for women. Male physiology, more than hormones, explains men's superior absolute strength.

When other measures of strength are used, such as strength relative to cross-sectional area of muscle, the strength of men and women is nearly equal. Women who practice the same well-designed strength training programs as men benefit from bone and soft-tissue modeling, increased lean body mass, decreased fat, and enhanced self-confidence.

Shawn Ray: Beauty & the Beast - Ken "Flex" Wheeler: 

Upon reflection, I witnessed many great physique artists come and go throughout my 14 year professional career. Some made more of an impact than others and therefore will be remembered longer by the masses.

Information on Grun is scarce. Harry Houdini, who was known as a great skeptic of strongmen, was very impressed by Grun. Here is Harry Houdini's description of John Grun from The Miracle Mongers, An Expose'. This work is now in the public domain so I've reproduced the section on Grun entirely below, see World Wide School for the complete version of the book that discusses many other great strongmen.

Houdini mentions Grun's weight as three hundred pounds, however, this is unlikely considering his height of 5'11" and that Willoughby described him as "235 to 242 pounds-practically all solid bone and muscle."

Dr. Squat's Iron Web Newsletter: Oktober

• The Lost Variable in the Quest for Power:
  Many athletes and coaches emphasize the strength aspect of training, thereby losing the speed component. Keep in mind that the faster an object moves, the more power will be produced.
• Periodization of Training:
  Periodization of training has often been described by it's western proponents as a division of training into more manageable blocks. While this is true, it is not representative of what periodization really is.
• High Intensity Training:
  It is the mind, the controlling entity of the organism, which determines the degree of effort expended. It is not the level of ugliness to which one can contort one's face.
