Description: Optimize Yourself Physically - My Own Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXN0XO_WBISn-LC7n8DgZoQEj74xfSXdg Website: primedlifestyle.com Instagram: Primed Books: The New High Intensity Training by Ellington Darden on Amazon: amzn.to/2roCJyd The 4 Hour Body by Tim Ferriss on Amazon: amzn.to/2syuI9F The experiment was designed by Arthur Jones and supervised by Dr. Elliott Plese, who was the director of the exercise lab in the Department of physical Education at the Colorado State University. The experiment was intended to be a brutal example of minimalist training. And with 3 workouts per week, Casey Viator supposedly gained 63 pounds of muscle in 28 days where he increased his body weight by 45 pounds and lost 18 pounds of fat. Casey Viator was a freak of nature, and his genetics were absolutely insane. He was the youngest ever Mr. America winner in 1971 at only 19 years of age, weighing 218 pounds at 5 foot 8 inches tall. He demolished the competition against people who were a lot older than him and had years of training on him. In an interview with Bodybuilding.com, he said that “at a young age he seemed to grow doing regular sports. That his arms and legs grew from just running and hitting baseballs, and that his body responded quickly.” The Colorado experiment took place in 1973, 2 years after he won mr. America, when Casey was 21 years old. Arthur Jones recognized that Casey needed to get back to training, and with the knowledge of his muscle building potential, he wanted to do a case study with him. Jones sent all his latest Nautilus machines to Colorado state university and had them assembled in the exercise physiology laboratory. The experiment lasted for 28 days and was closely monitored by Dr. Elliott Plese, the director of the exercise lab in the Department of physical Education and the results were published in Ironman magazine. The same year as the experiment was conducted, Arthur Jones invited a young Arnold Schwarzenegger at 23 years old. He had just won his first Olympia, and came to train with him and Casey Viator. This is what Arnold said about the training Casey Viator did in the October 1973 Muscle builder Magazine: “Viator is a gym monster. I’ve never witnessed such ferocious, almost suicidal training in my life. He kills the weights. He mangles the equipment. And most of all he tortures himself to hysteria." He increased his bodyweight from 166.87 pounds to 212.15 for an overall gain of 45.28 pounds. He lost 17.93 pounds of body fat. So he actually gained a total of 63.21 pounds of muscle. However Ellington Darden writes that he went from 13.8 % body fat to 2.47 % according to the equipment that had during that time. Judge for yourself if you think that looks like 2.47 % body fat.
