SUFFER TO GAIN
Q&A Section With MuscleMag Columnist
Dennis B. Weis "The Yukon Hercules" 

Q. I am envious of some of the bodybuilding champions who  
seem to get huge results by training moderately, using  
seemingly light weights and enjoying easy workouts. I've  
tried training this way, taking workouts without straining  
much and working the total body in four sessions a week.  
I've gained 9 pounds in a couple of years doing this but I  
am not satisfied.

I've been to your website and seen your photo and story  
on the homepage. You don't seem like you were much  
either but you are still better than me. So what did you do  
make any sort of bodybuilding gains?

A. Hey worm food you shouldn't be disrespecting me by telling  
me that my bodybuilding gains weren't much if you expect an  
answer. I will answer your question only because Bob Kennedy  
is paying me to.

I am not so proud as to admit that I was not blessed with an  
abundance of bodybuilding genetics. Proof of that is displayed  
in my before photo at age 16 (go to my website and check it out).  
Luckily though, when I was 20 I trained at Donne Hale's gym in  
Hialeah, Florida. Donne made me realize gaining muscle came in  
a direct ratio to how much I suffered in the gym!

Some guys may do 8 to 10 sets per muscle group - but Donne  
had me wading through 20 or more, of 8 to 12 reps each.  
Light poundage was not for me, either; I wrestled with the  
heaviest I could put to use. Resting was only a word . . . each  
movement was as fast as I could make it, sets going together  
in combination, and I was only allowed to take a one minute rest  
at any one time. Instead of 6 to 8 exercises, my workouts  
covered 15 or more. Four to five training sessions each week  
was the rule.

Every workout, each exercise, every movement, in fact, was  
a challenge, a strain, a fight! The exercise police of today  
would say it was insane training. Maybe, but it was perfect,  
at the time, for me as Donne felt I was a 'freak' of endurance.  
The unusually hard work paid off as I gained over 20 pounds  
of muscle in less than a year. Best of all I never went stale and  
my desire to train harder and harder grew steadily, never declining.  
Obviously this type of training approach wouldn't be for every one,  
yourself included. But back then I simply had to suffer to gain.
