Angeregt durch einen Beitrag von Taurus in meinem Log bin ich auf das folgende Interview mit Marvin Eder gestoßen. Der Typ war erfolgreicher Bodybuilder und Gewichtheber in den 50er und 60er jahren des vorherigen Jahrhunderts. Bekannt ist er z.b. durch folgende Bestleistungen geworden:

- Side laterals - reps with 120-pound dumbbells.
- One-arm-chins - eight consecutively with each arm.
- Press behind neck - 305 pounds.
- Side press, left hand - 220 pounds (with a man sitting on his hand).
- Parallel bar dip with 434 pounds (two men hanging from his feet!).
- Bench press - 515 pounds.
- Still arm pullovers - 250 pounds.
- Wide grip chins - 80 with his bodyweight and 8 reps with 200 pounds attached.
- Consecutive handstand push-ups on a horizontal ladder - 25.

Interviewauszug:
Yes, I would say so. But your really don't have to. I don't believe that. The horror of today is the use of all these chemical substances that's going on. It is so perverse. You know, when I lifted weights I believed the stronger and more muscular I got, the healthier I became.
Health was never divorced from my training. I would never, under any circumstance, consider the use of any kind of artificial drug to stimulate my muscle growth. What's going on now is a nightmare, an obscenity. And in a way I hope the whole thing just disappears, that it should be wiped off the face of the earth but it is just getting worse and worse all the time.
A lot of these shows now honor men who built up their muscles with the use of chemicals. And just to be facetious I said to a friend of mine, "Why don't they have a show called Mr. Chemical." It is an absolute horror now. And I will not lend my presence ever to any show, even if they were to honor me, or anything like that. That is all in the past.
I just want to stay away from it. Actually, when I begin to think of it, it is almost as if I am becoming ill at the thought of even being near something like that. Eventually these people will suffer. You cannot do that without destroying your body.
Eventually they come down with other forms of disease. You can't pour artificial testosterone into yourself and growth hormone and God knows what else without upsetting the natural homeostasis of your body. You will suffer from it.
I really don't care what their goals are. You want to get muscular and stronger, workout hard and look after yourself like I did. You can't beat your genetics. Can everyone be an Einstein? No they can't.
