LESSON ONE
D E A R F R I E N D:
Congratulations on enrolling! I have received your application for enrollment in my
DYNAMIC-TENSION® SYSTEM of health, strength and physique building. I most cordially
welcome you as one of my students. I accept you because I assume that you are a normal individualwith no ailment, which would prevent or limit your participation in a physical exercise program.
Before beginning consult with a physician because you must honestly answer NO to all of the
following questions:
1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you
should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor or under a doctor’s care?
2. Do you feel pain in yourchest when you do physical activity?
3. In the past few months, have you had chest pain when you were
doing physical work?
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever
lose consciousness?
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could be made
worse by a change in your daily physical activity?
6. Is your doctor prescribing any medication of any nature for a bloodpressure circulatory or heart condition?
7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not engage in a
physical exercise program or activity?
If you are in doubt, I suggest you ask your physician before continuing with my
program. The First Lesson contains the priceless discoveries I have made using the
principle of DYNAMIC-TENSION to build up your chest muscles incredibly
fast! Go over thisLesson carefully and begin the instructions at once. Your
Course has been proven by students throughout the world to be one of the
“The World’s Most
Perfectly Developed Man”
greatest methods available to build muscles rapidly and SAFELY. This is

the very same method that changed me from a 97-pound weakling and has done the same for millions of other people all over the world.
I would like you to practice Lesson One throughout your entire Course. Likewise follow the valuable food information in Lesson Two all through the Course. Every two weeks I would like you
to add two new lessons to Lesson One. Then drop those twoLessons and take the next two new
ones. For example; Practice Lesson One for two weeks then add Lesson 2 and 3. Practice these
for two weeks then drop Lesson 3 and add Lessons 4 and 5.
After two weeks drop 4 and 5, and add 6 and 7. Continue this until you finish all the Lessons. But
remember to continue the exercises in Lesson 1 and the food information in Lesson 2 all through
the Course. Also,remember as a rule, do all exercises 10 - 12 times (reps) or until you become
tired, unless otherwise specified. Study the written instructions as much as the photos illustrating
the exercises so that you are sure to be doing them correctly. THE DESIRED RESULTS WILL
SURELY COME! NOW, GET GOING ON LESSON ONE!
Yours for Health and Strength,
