ITT we post natty limits, and discuss how to achieve it
>"Do not perform any exercise to excess, so as to tire yourself out. If you feel tired and exhausted, give yourself the necessary rest, and, as in everything else, use moderation and common sense. REMEMBER that excessive and rapid exercising is harmful."
>"Some trainers recommend to their pupils for the training of all muscle groups one and the same (light) weight and believe they are able to obtain the same effect by frequent repetitions. My experience has taught me that this is wrong"
>“It is only by exercising with heavy weights that any man can hope to develop really great strength.”
>“I maintain that it is absolutely a mistake to eat a great deal"
>“The disadvantages of meat foods are …that nowadays it is most difficult to obtain meat from absolutely healthy animals (I count those artificially fed in stables and pens among the unhealthy ones), and … that far too much flesh food is taken. In the case of pure vegetable food, excess is less dangerous … Pure vegetables … certainly form the ideal human food …”

Do you know better than him?
I'm guessing you have a bitch appetite and 'a great deal' for you are two slices of toast and a bowl of oatmeal.
These men could eat pounds of meat and potatoes without breaking a sweat

>Do not make the great mistake of eating too much. Half the ailments of the present day are due to over feeding. It is one thing to eat food and another to digest it, do not eat more than you can easily digest and if any difficulty in digesting small quantities of food, try BOVRIL. It aids digestion and renders the food taken more nutritious bringing out ALL the good qualities in the food, which would otherwise pass through the system unassimilated. A drink of HOT Bovril after exercise restores the lost energies much quicker and is a safeguard against over-fatigue. As a change Bovril and milk will be found valuable.

Bear in mind that Hackenschmidt ate like a motherfucker. When he's talking about eating to excess, he's talking about guys like Louis Cyr who were strong as all hell but destroyed their relative strength by getting that fat.

He wasn't the only one. I think I might start drinking it, they must have been onto something
>It may be helpful and of interest to many readers if I outline a dietary which is calculated to assist muscle-building and with the object of helping one stand hard training. Cheese, beans, lentils, Hovis bread, oatmeal porridge with milk and treacle added, Bovril instead of soup (nothing replaces broken-down tissue and gives energy so quickly as Bovril)
