    About this ebook

    “Achieving Total Muscularity” is a complete volume that tells you in detail how to train for the unique brand of symmetry, proportion, aesthetics and definition that made Steve’s physique one of the sensations of the 1970s and after. The book contains a wealth of Steve’s hard earned knowledge, and while it was written with the information he gained from the 70s and the 80s, the book, just as Steve’s physique, was and is still ahead of its time. Steve lays out in exquisite detail how to train, including how to set up your workouts, how to do the exercises, what to eat for maximum success and health, and he holds nothing back. There are unique exercises, workouts, as well as rare insights into the building of a championship physique. This book has an enormous amount of valuable information, some of which you won’t find anywhere else. There are great inspirational photos throughout the book. The book reflects Steve’s lifelong passion for bodybuilding, and although it was written from his own experience, Steve has been a devoted and successful teacher of bodybuilding to others. Clearly, he communicates and teaches his unique methods through his vivid, intelligent writing as he shares how to apply his unique ideas. Anyone can learn and improve from this book. If you are looking for a book that tells you in detail how to create the kind of sensational physique that is not merely about undifferentiated mass, but is instead a balanced living sculpture, if you’re looking for the keys to creating a show-stopping physique, a work of art, then this book is for you.

    Achieving Total Muscularity - Steve Davis

    FOREWORD: ANTICIPATION

    By Steve Davis

    On December 16th, 2012, I turned 65! It has been almost 20 years since the first edition of this book and I have been bodybuilding for 50 years. From this perspective I offer the following:

    Bodybuilding is like etching facets to a diamond.

    1. Train for shape and size will certainly follow!

    2. Make each set your best set.

    3. Diet and Nutrition are 99% of bodybuilding.

    4. Contract the belly of the muscle you’re working on each rep.

    5. Your workouts should be crisp, energetic & intense!

    6. Train your weak points first.

    7. Isolate the muscle you are working by using strict form as you exercise.

    8. Cheat exercise form…you cheat specific muscle workload and growth.

    9. If you can make reps with 135 pounds seem like 315 you are working out properly.

    10. Don’t confuse muscle quantity for quality.

    11. Harmony, Faith and Attitude are the catalysts for a positive approach to training as well as life itself.

    Sincerely,

    Steve Davis

    INTRODUCTION: STEVE DAVIS ...

    FIRST OF THE NEW BREED!

    By Harvey Keith

    I first met Steve Davis while managing Vince's Gym in North Hollywood, California. I was immediately struck by two outstanding features about this young relatively unknown physique champ; his whipcord muscularity and the dynamism and intensity of his training. I began to ask around the gym about Steve; I was amazed to learn that the rock hard specimen before me once weighed 285 Ibs. The next time I saw Steve was at the A.A. B.A. 1975 Mr. California Contest. It's history now that he won both 1st place and Most Muscular. We began to speak about training and such in the gym. I soon was as impressed with Steve's intellect as well as his physique. He held a master's degree and taught English and History. I was amazed to learn that he had just made a comeback from a 5 year layoff, during which he was a ski enthusiast and rose to the captaincy of the American International Ski Team. His first love was always the iron game. When returning to it, he rose like a comet. His next victory was a startling sweep of the Mr. World. Later Steve invented couples competition, wrote the 1st book on Bodybuilding for Women and ultimately made it to the Mr. Olympia contest stage.

    It's my personal belief that Steve is the first of a whole NEW BREED of bodybuilding stars, a champion that is not concerned with freaky, body parts and huge size. His physique has a soothing pleasing effect even to the untrained eye of the person who knows nothing about bodybuilding; each body part is in perfect symmetry and rock hard muscularity. I was so impressed with Steve's honesty and straight forward approach to life that we became the closest of friends. Both of us had gleaned information and knowledge from all the top names in our sport. Together we combined over 50 years of knowledge to found the NEW BREED School of Bodybuilding. Now here is the first thesis in a totally new concept of bodybuilding. There are no hidden secrets. This course explains every detail of his fantastic new approach to training. Follow Steve's advice faithfully and you'll reap maximum benefits from your training.

    Remember, the ultimate credibility for an author is to write from his own experience. Steve once weighed over 285 pounds! Through an original and innovative program of progressive resistance exercise and scientific diet and nutrition, Steve was able to lose over 100 pounds, win the Mr. California title and become a true international Bodybuilding star. His miraculous transformation has rendered him one of the world's most sought after physical culture and nutritional science authorities. Follow Steve's footsteps for your own bodybuilding success. Positive change begins with a single step! Knowledge is power! Use it!

    I THINK THEREFORE I AM

    Suppose we ran an experiment. We take two bodybuilders of similar age, height and weight, and have them do the same amount of exercise each day for three months. The only difference is that one of the bodybuilders was highly motivated. In each training session, our motivated trainee
