@Mr. Bison I'd say these exercises do work technically but there's more efficient effective exercises with less risk of injury today . The curls and bridge press closely resemble common exercise today.
@Mr. Bison That's a pretty broad statement, "It won't injure me, I drink milk" Well you don't see GOMAD drinkers become immune to snapping themselves. Besides if you wanted to train your rotational strength the way the barbell twist does, then just do a clean, or a twisting medicine ball throw, or use bands. Barbell twists could definitely work, but the risk that comes with it is just way too high to be useful

Googlebums Have read that book & been doing the exercises in them & feel they have been helping with building my physique and doing a more strength based exercise after as well helps it more as well. As why I disagree with the Alternating curl as it helps more when focusing on the deltoid first then the rest of the arm.

Why do I feel these are just gimmick exercises, even in 1940s? I mean, you got it from a magazine, which may have intentionally picked the most bizarre exercises to pull in readers...
Yeah, feels like that. Or it was the April's issue. Since there were some legitimate strongmen back then, who obviously kinda did know what they were doing.
Possible these exercises were just invented by people that didn't have a good idea of body mechanics and physiology then became popular. Look at how boxing used to be compared to now; it's refined today but was akward and porly done in the past.
Yeah, maybe this was the equivalent of the now "bullshit invention machines to get ripped in 2 months 30 mintues a day" kinda stuff. I'd imagine it being worse back then since it still exists and just as hilarious.
The first two exercises is actually from Sandow/Dr. Atilla in the 1890's. The alternating bicep depicted in this video is done correctly except there is no mention that as the arm is contracted a tight grip is applied to the dumbbell and as the arm goes down the grip is loosened. Makes it more difficult. The second exercise is done much more slowly with light weight or no weight and has made my quads much stronger. I am almost 60 and the second exercise has made a difference. The human body naturally crouches this way, say for example bending down to get something on the bottom shelf in a grocery store or rummage through the bottom of the fridge. Fun video.
Brooks Kubik (of Dinosaur Training fame) recommends Deep Knee Bends. I do them, and I don't get knee pain. They get very hard quickly, and are excellent for leg strength.
Yeah I agree,mumbling about undertrained tendons and what not is baby talk. I started incorporating these types of squats years ago and my knees are as health and strong as ever. I can now jump high enough to grab the top of a 10 foot wall.
Been a subscriber to Buff Dudes for about 6-7 years, you guys are probably the top body building channel on youtube with your authenticity and comedic value from the chemistry from the both of you. Hope you guys have a great future and keep it up!
A lot of these exercises realizes Peter Griffin's logic when he had to move the fridge. "Okay. Chris. Put all of the weight into your lower back! Take your legs out of it."
One thing's for sure though, the 1940's guys were in a fucking great shape compared to today's bodybuilders that can't walk up the stairs without pushing a heart attack
This is awesome! I love all the old school bodybuilding and fitness/muscle culture stuff. Would love to see vids about other decades/eras too. Cheers dudes!
kneees over toes/ up on to toes, excessive knee travel is....actually proving to be very effective in training and making a come back. It's showing it provides more benefit and 'strengthening' + preventative gains for the tendon, as well as improved stability. So mock it all you want, granted if you've got training knowledge from the last 10 or so years (up untill recently) thats understandable But you'll actually find knee issues were far less common when the above training methods were used. Fortunately the more recent literature and training methodologies are starting to reflect this.
Was wondering if anybody else would bring this up. For anyone who is curious introduce the movements slowly and unweighted at first but eventually you can work up to decent weights and you’ll likely feel better and be more protected from injury in sports. Tendons take longer to adapt than muscles so don’t rush it too much.
^^ been looking in to it for patella tendon rehab. It works wonders. I also follow a guy on instagram called kneesovertoesguy. Great source of info. Like you say its a case of easing in to it. But its getting to be 'miss-information' to spread that its harmful.
Also that movement feels very good to my knees for some reason. It kinda relaxes them idk how to describe it, but it's more natural to me compared to normal squat (even though I have the needed mobility to perform them without problem)
1940's workout - typical cool down being a long march from Normandy to Berlin. Loved the dietary advice about ice cream and custard. Always fun and inspiring, thanks Buff Division!
Yes! Do the 1950's! Great video, fellas. I actually incorporate some old Strong Man training into my regimen; but the exercises I selected actually work and some are still practiced by contemporary strongmen.
I bet in a 100 years it will be all about "exercise in a pill". They will probably discover safe muscle inducing pills so the laziest would be as fit as the rest.
Everything will be done with specialised machines that exercise you both ways of the exercise and scan for muscle activation giving commands with some electrosys and designer steroids

The first guys were acrobats and circus strong men. Full range of motion and functional connected stuff. But also a different understanding of injury. Who remembers the jumping squat and all the legends who are now in wheel chairs because of it. I specialise in these old trainings, but the martial arts ones.
Continue this series! It's not only interesting from a history perspective, but I got a few laughs out of the reactions to all the spine compaction! lol
Lol start to get the feeling lifters back then just kinda picked up heavy stuff, started moving random limbs, and thought “surely this is doing something”
The barbell swing thing at 5:57 that you're talking about could have been used to strengthen the muscles used while bucking hay. I can see the dudes passing the bales from the ground to the guys on the truck who stack it using this exercise. I would never recommend that exercise, but I can see it being used for that purpose.
What I learned from this video: create a time machine, go back to the 40's, open up a shitload of Athletico physical therapy centers near gyms, and make Jeff Bezos look like he's broke
Jake No they don’t. Do you associate the presidency inherently with Donald Trump? No, you know there have been others, and now you know it’s not a Nazi invention
A lot of those exercises are to train a fuck ton of stabilizer muscles, core, and explosive elastic power. The alternating curl is to work straight arm strength, the shadow boxer is to work a fuck ton of small muscles in the arms along with building speed, the barbell swing is to work all core along with upper back muscles, exercise #8 is actually done by a lot of martial artists to work flexible strength (low weight needs to be used), etc. They are not to be done by new lifters, not to be done with heavy weight, and not for lifters that have no flexibility.
Why doesn't Hudson try a country diet while Brandon tries a city diet. By country diet, I mean foods that are grown in the farm and by city diet, I mean the foods that are not grown in farms (In California and Oregon)
So acording to this guys when you do a shoulder press or a backsquat, the "spine compression" doesnt exist; "spine compression only exist in this oldie "mortal" movements.
Deep knee bends you're not doing quite right Feet should be much closer and your heels touching If you look in that old school strength training secrets Look up Dave Yarnell book old school strength training secret bible As for the diet back then in the 40's Men were working 15+ hours physical labour That's why they had high protein and high fat content
So... The quote you read about fruits actually makes sense in the time. First shit was more natural then and not made from completely chemicals, it also was less common to have access to these things like Ice cream and fruit pies So you couldn't eat the in quantities to gain fat. So the extra calories probably did equal gains for the men of the time. No doubt.
you guys ere doing a great job. I love old school systems, such as the Weider principles and the Ironman f4x method. Humor is a good spice for this soup.
God bless these old-timey bodybuilders. They sacrificed their spines so we could figure out which exercises we shouldn't be doing.
At least they didn't resort to drugs

8:22 Everyone else is dead🤣🤣
💀💀
The first guys were acrobats and circus strong men. Full range of motion and functional connected stuff. But also a different understanding of injury. Who remembers the jumping squat and all the legends who are now in wheel chairs because of it. I specialise in these old trainings, but the martial arts ones.
Stay positive, keep pushing and above else enjoy your day
Regards, keith runs
I subbed bro good luck on the channel. thanks btw :))
Keith you should try running.
@@adityarai5367 Keith Runs
@@adityarai5367 never crossed my mind ;)
Yes, please give me more workouts from previous decades!
"a long list of double chins" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how they talked back in the 40s
It's like the mom joke "Yo mama so fat she's got more chins than a chinese phonebook"
I would definitely watch a through the era series. Especially if y'all did some cardio from the 80s.
Steve Reeves would have come back to the gym after serving in the US army only to change all of those injury prone exercises! Lol.
Loved this video. The "fuck-me-ups" had me rolling. Keep the videos coming, They're awesome!
Next do 2050 body building exercises!
I love these fun videos. Fun to see what bodybuilders did in the 1940's. Thank you for the laughs.
Quality content as always buff dudes!
Continue this series! It's not only interesting from a history perspective, but I got a few laughs out of the reactions to all the spine compaction! lol
When we're doing the greek sparta workout?
It’s just running, picking up large stones and placing them back down again. Basically strongman
1. Javelin
2. Discus
3. Running
4. Wrestling
5. Gay sex
@@WozWozEre emphasis on the gay sex
Being thrown into the wild at 7 y.o. and survive is an important part of the routine
Please_Change_Username 😂😂😂
Very interesting....keep going through the decades, its interesting to see the changing ideologies.
Lol start to get the feeling lifters back then just kinda picked up heavy stuff, started moving random limbs, and thought “surely this is doing something”
The barbell swing thing at 5:57 that you're talking about could have been used to strengthen the muscles used while bucking hay. I can see the dudes passing the bales from the ground to the guys on the truck who stack it using this exercise. I would never recommend that exercise, but I can see it being used for that purpose.
The second exercise can easily be replaced by the Hindu squat just to target the calves more.
The Irish dancing with a heavy barbell was the best !!!!
6:05 Some hardcore moves these guys used to have in the 40s.
This was great guys! Interesting and absolutely hysterical!!!!
And I'm totally going to start working on developing my lower back!!! ;)
"Their fascist muscles" 😂😂 that caught me off guard that was very witty
Vintage people could do this without damage, they were fitter
honestly idea about 1950 and full evolution seems like a good one, you got o my vote on that
What I learned from this video: create a time machine, go back to the 40's, open up a shitload of Athletico physical therapy centers near gyms, and make Jeff Bezos look like he's broke
I'd like to see from every era 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. See what exercises and advice they had in those time periods.
Lol just say it, this is the origin of CrossFit.
I love the tv show vibe haha such good content
The goose step was a Prussian invention, not a Nazi Germany invention fellas
Yeah but you know the connotations. People associate it with Nazis.
Jake No they don’t. Do you associate the presidency inherently with Donald Trump? No, you know there have been others, and now you know it’s not a Nazi invention
A lot of those exercises are to train a fuck ton of stabilizer muscles, core, and explosive elastic power. The alternating curl is to work straight arm strength, the shadow boxer is to work a fuck ton of small muscles in the arms along with building speed, the barbell swing is to work all core along with upper back muscles, exercise #8 is actually done by a lot of martial artists to work flexible strength (low weight needs to be used), etc. They are not to be done by new lifters, not to be done with heavy weight, and not for lifters that have no flexibility.
Guys look like Thor and Hercules 💪🔥
I wish we could read the 1940’s review on the 1860’s workouts.
Why doesn't Hudson try a country diet while Brandon tries a city diet. By country diet, I mean foods that are grown in the farm and by city diet, I mean the foods that are not grown in farms (In California and Oregon)
Classic! Buff dudes!!🙌🏽💯
So acording to this guys when you do a shoulder press or a backsquat, the "spine compression" doesnt exist; "spine compression only exist in this oldie "mortal" movements.
definitely do a video about tendon injuries and common mistakes that lead there for us beginners!
Deep knee bends you're not doing quite right
Feet should be much closer and your heels touching
If you look in that old school strength training secrets
Look up Dave Yarnell book old school strength training secret bible
As for the diet back then in the 40's
Men were working 15+ hours physical labour
That's why they had high protein and high fat content
So... The quote you read about fruits actually makes sense in the time. First shit was more natural then and not made from completely chemicals, it also was less common to have access to these things like Ice cream and fruit pies So you couldn't eat the in quantities to gain fat. So the extra calories probably did equal gains for the men of the time. No doubt.
Gaston challenge! 5 dozen eggs a day! And french body builder style workouts
I wanna see what exercises from today will be obsolete years from now
Crossfit

Humor is a good spice for this soup.

Haha, I did na zi that joke coming
AH did nothing wrong.
MillennialHonkey 89 still fascist
Unoriginal, anne frankly i didn’t find your joke funny
@@Eric-pp3rr NS and Fascism are two separate political ideologies that between themselves have contradictory points.
You should most definitely do the full evolution of bodybuilding.
