Gain One Inch on Your Arms in Thirty Days

Just recently, a man who was very well acquainted with Vince Gironda
contacted me. He told me some stories about the old “Iron Guru” that I hadn’t
heard before. It got me thinking about Vince.
Back when I first started bodybuilding, I bought all of Vince’s courses. I
read every article he wrote for MuscleMag International, too. That
cantankerous old guy was way ahead of his time! He really knew all the secrets
to building a great physique fast.
Here’s one of Vince’s secrets that very few people have ever heard
about...I’m almost reluctant to share this secret with you. It’s so simple and
easy that I’m afraid you might blow it off as a bunch of crap. But trust me…it
really works!
Vince was a believer that in order to grow, you need to keep your body in a
“positive nitrogen balance.” This means protein (the only nutrient that contains
nitrogen) should be constantly available in your bloodstream.
When you eat a meal with protein, your body breaks the protein down into
amino acids. These amino acids are only available in the bloodstream for a few
hours. If you don’t get some more protein in there within two to three hours,
you’ll be in “negative nitrogen balance.” This means your body is using and
excreting more nitrogen than it is taking in. In order to prevent that from
happening, you need to keep a constant source of high quality protein coming
into your body.
Vince was a proponent of using “concentrated food sources.” These are foods
that contain the protein and nutrients you need but don’t contain a lot of
excess carbohydrates and calories that take up a lot of space in your stomach,
allowing for frequent feedings. He wasn’t a believer in stuffing a bunch of food
down your throat to bulk up and gain a lot of weight. He used to say, “How much
do you think an extra inch on your arms is going to add to the scale?”
So Vince had his students take protein powder mixed with cream, raw fertile
eggs, amino acids and...(drum roll. please)...desiccated liver tablets!
Vince had many students gain an inch on their arms within thirty days simply
by taking three to five liver tablets every hour. This ensures a positive
nitrogen balance without excess carbohydrates and calories. Stories from some of
the old timers of phenomenal gains being made on 100 or more liver tablets a day
are very common. Why does it work so well?
According to Vince, desiccated liver contains nucleic acids for proper amino
acid utilization, a growth factor, and an anti-estrogen factor, which keeps
testosterone levels high. It’s also a great anti-toxin.
In a classic experiment, Dr. B. H. Ershoff demonstrated that liver extract
was able to boost strength, endurance, performance, and resistance to stress and
disease. In a nutshell, here’s how this occurred.
Dr. Ershoff took three groups of rats and fed them controlled diets for a
twelve-week period. Group one ate a basic diet fortified with vitamins and
minerals. Group two ate as much as they wanted of the same diet plus B vitamins
and brewer’s yeast. Group three ate the basic diet but had 10 percent desiccated
liver added to their rations.
Then the doctor placed the rats one by one into a drum of water from which
they couldn’t climb out. It was either sink or swim...literally! The group one
rats swam an average of 13.2 minutes before they all drowned. Group two swam an
average of 13.4 minutes. Group three, however, was still swimming at the end of
two hours, at which time the experiment was concluded.
The rats that had the desiccated liver added to their diets swam almost ten
times as long as the other two groups! As far as I know, no other supplement has
even come close to liver in improving endurance. Desiccated liver flat out
works!
So take old Vince Gironda’s advice and try adding desiccated liver to your
supplement program. The addition of only eight to ten desiccated liver tablets
per meal for five meals per day can make a tremendous difference in your
condition. This simple but effective supplement program will add approximately
65 grams of the highest quality protein to your daily intake.
