MARVIN EDER SECRETS TO MIGHT AND STRENGTH

Genetically gifted freak who had enormous recuperative powers. He readily admitted being an ‘easy gainer’.

Limitless drive.

He admittedly “trained like a maniac

His workouts covered a wide range of activities, from weight lifting to powerlifting, bodybuilding, and agility, balancing and wrestling.

Utilized a variety of rep ranges to assist his mass and strength goals.

He enjoyed natural foods and had a good appetite.

MARVIN EDER believed and still believes, one should train for health and fitness as well as size and power.

Since his retirement at age 22, Marvin has run his own successful plumbing business and has continued to lift the heavy iron to keep in great shape and remain strong.

Today he lives a quiet life. Now, at age 77, he only does 500 crunches every morning, and up until recently has been doing dips with 70 pounds attached and curls with a 35 pound dumbbell. Then again he is Marvin Eder.
