The Golden Age Nutrition?

[matt_t2004]

Like a lot of people I love the nostalgia of the Golden Age of bodybuilding. Especially Arnold, Frank Zane, and, Serge Nubret. The only muscle mags I still buy are the special editions with some of the Golden Era bodybuilders on the cover LOL. Well after readin numerous information on how they train and live, I still have not read very much at all bout how their nutrition was. This intrigues me, and if there is anyone that knows more about this or can post a link I would be very grateful.

i've heard a bunch of red meat, potatoes, milk(yes milk), things like that. there is a deleted scene on the pumping iron DVD that shows all of the guys at a restaurant and they all get a crap load of bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, oatmeal, anything basically. and it wasn't that far from contest i don't think.

Right, they ate squats

OP -- I have a feeling their food quality was superior.

The Golden Age of Bodybuilding refers to the era starting at 1940 and ending at 1959 the year before roids took over.

I think it wasn't so much what they were eating but the fact that they weren't obsessed with making sure they didn't eat three calories too many and gain a micropercentage of fat.

Hard work can trump a less than ideal diet.
