I WAS then a 97-pound weakling. He was heavier, stronger, plenty tough. But I just couldn't pass up his direct challenge. A crowd gathered around to watch the slaughter. And what a trimming I got! He put more smashing power behind that one hand of his than I had in my whole body. It was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me!

But, as it turned out, that beating changed my entire life. For I made up my mind then and there to DO SOMETHING about myself—to learn something about my body and find a way to build it up—to become a HE-MAN instead of a HALF-MAN. And here's what happened:—

And Then I Made a Discovery

I began to study the structure and play of all the muscles. Then I tested out ideas I had for building muscle power and endurance—through outside road work and also through indoor exercises. Then I compared my measurements, before and after. Checked the results carefully. Made other tests. Checked again. Time after time, for months, I did this.

And finally came the great day when I felt at last I had discovered the natural way to build powerful, rippling muscles—without any contraptions that may strain the heart or other vital organs! I at once put this system to work. I called it Dynamic Tension!

Well, the whole world knows what happened—and how "Dynamic Tension" changed me from a 97-pound weakling to the man who is now holder of the title of "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man"!

This amazing method built me up—gave me the evenly developed body, the big muscles, and wonderful chest, that you see here.

Today I am devoting all of my time to passing the secret of "Dynamic Tension" along to others like yourself. And what "Dynamic Tension" has done for me—and for 52,000 other fellows—I am ready to prove it can do for YOU.

I'll Prove in the first 7 days that YOU can have a Body like Mine!

Just give me your measure—and I'll give you proof in just 7 days that I can make you a NEW MAN! Then I'll start new inches of massive power pushing out your chest—build up your shoulders to champion huskiness—put regular mountains of useful muscle on your biceps—give you a strong back—make those stomach muscles of yours hard ridges!

I'll whittle off waistline fat if you want me to. Slim down your hips and make your shoulders look a mile wide. Put new pep into your thighs, get the calves of your legs bulging big, add weight if you need it. With a body like that you'll be so brimming-over with health inside that you'll feel on top of the world—free from constipation, poor digestion, bad breath, pimples, and similar weaknesses that are robbing you of the good things in life that can be yours. The ruddy glow of health will show on your face—you will be the outstanding fellow in your crowd.
