Clarence Bass was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico
and graduated from Albuquerque High School, University of New
Mexico, and UNM Law School. He practiced law in Albuquerque until
1994, when he stopped practicing to devote full time to other
interests, including studying and writing about the fitness lifestyle.
He was among 100 UNM graduates chosen by the Alumni Association
to represent the "Best Efforts" of the university on
the occasion of its 100th anniversary.
Clarence has had a lifelong interest in fitness and health. He
started lifting weights at about 13 and garnered his first athletic
award in 1954, when as a junior he won the State High School
Pentathlon Championship. He also wrestled in high school, placing
second in the State Championship as a senior. He then concentrated
on Olympic weightlifting where he won many more trophies over
about a 20 year period, including city, state, regional and national
awards. His best Olympic lifts were: Standing Press 275, Snatch
245, Clean & Jerk 325.
Approaching 40, Clarence turned his attention to bodybuilding,
where he won his height class in the Past-40 Mr. America contest
in 1978 and in the Past-40 Mr. U.S.A. the following year. In
the U.S.A. competition he also won the "Most Muscular Man"
award as well as "Best Legs" and "Best Abdominals."
More recently he has become interested in activities requiring
both strength and endurance such as indoor rowing, where in 1992
he ranked 21st in the world for light-weight men age 50 to 59.
His overall health and fitness has been evaluated by the famous
Cooper Clinic in Dallas (1988, 1989, 1992, 1998 and 2000). On
each occasion his performance on the treadmill placed him in
the top category for men in his age group, and in the "Superior"
category for men of any age. His overall health was judged "superb."
His maximum heart rate (190) is that of a 30-year-old.
His greatest fame, however, probably comes from his ability to
maintain his body fat at a very low level. Body composition tests
at Lovelace Medical Center and UNM Human Performance Laboratory
have on numerous occasions measured his body fat at 3% or lower,
when the average man his age has a body fat level about 25% and
world-class male marathon runners usually carry 5 or 6 percent
fat.
Clarence has written eight books. His first book Ripped: The
Sensible Way To Achieve Ultimate Muscularity, published in 1980,
tells of his victories in national master's bodybuilding competition
and his initial reductions to 2.4% body fat. Lean For Life and
Challenge Yourself, his latest narrative books published in 1992
and 1999, explain his lifestyle approach to fitness and health.
His books can be purchased by visiting www.cbass.com.
Clarence wrote a monthly question-and-answer column in Muscle
& Fitness, the world's most widely read bodybuilding magazine,
for 16 years (until 1996.) Most of these columns are collected
and categorized in his 3-book Lean Advantage series.
Clarence is married and has an adult son.

Arthur Jones is the founder and past chairman of
Nautilus Sports Medicine Industries and MedX Inc. Throughout
his life, Arthur was interested in strength training and worked
out whenever he had the chance. Keeping meticulous records and
closely observing the results on himself he gained considerable
knowledge on the subject. During a slow spell in his film business
he set his mind to building a new machine that would provide
the requirements for better, faster results. This became known
as Nautilus Strength Training equipment and it revolutionized
the fitness industry.
Meeting many coaches and their teams, he became aware of the
injuries professional ball players and other athletes sustained.
He started thinking about rehabilitation exercise and sold Nautilus
to concentrate on this new venture. To restore full function,
the strength training equipment had to meet the needs of injured
and weakened muscles.
After many years of research, building and discarding around
3000 prototypes, he nearly gave up hope to develop a leg-extension
machine that would meet the specifications he knew were needed.
In the meantime, he learned about the widespread problem of chronic
back pain. He then diverted his thinking in that direction. With
the knowledge gained from earlier mistakes, the Lumbar-extension
Machine was designed, build and refined to the point where it
met all the requirements necessary to successfully strengthen
the muscles of the lower back, both for rehabilitative and preventative
treatment. In 1986 MedX Corporation was established. The Cervical-extension
machine, Cervical-rotation Machine, Torso-rotation Machine, and
eventually the Knee Machine were added to the line of medical
equipment.
In 1991, an exercise-only line of machines was added for health
and fitness facilities. Based on the design of the medical equipment,
these machines are a vast improvement over his original Nautilus
equipment. They include a compound weight stack (10lb and 2lb
plates) that provides proper resistance for any level of strength,
and a very low friction (1%) for the smoothest workout possible.
Robert Kudlak, M.D. is
a general practitioner who specializes in rehabilitation medicine,
particularly for the low back and neck. He was previously the
medical director for BackWorx and SpinalWorx, rehabilation clinics
that focused on the use of MedX research and equipment. He has
had several articles and papers published in various fitness
and peer reviewed journals. Dr. Kudlak acts as medical advisor
for the International Association of Resistance Trainers education
institute.
Tom Kelso recently assumed duties as the Head
Coach for Strength and Conditioning at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Prior to this, he was the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach
at Southeast Missouri State University since 1991. He started
out in the strength and conditioning field in 1984 as an assistant
at the University of Florida, eventually working up to the Head
Coach's position in 1988. Additionally, he was a weight training
instructor for the U. F. Department of Physical Education from
1985 to 1988. A former Track & Field athlete at the University
of Iowa, Kelso received his Master's Degree in Physical Education
from Western Illinois University where he served as a Graduate
Assistant Track & Field Coach. The 1999 NSCA Ohio Valley
Conference Strength and Conditioning Professional of the year,
Kelso has worked with athletes on all levels, including Olympians
and those in the NFL, NBA, and MLB. He has published several
training articles in Scholastic Coach, H.I.T. Newsletter, Exercise
Protocol, N.S.C.A Journal, and a chapter in the text Maximize
Your Training.
Stuart McRobert has dedicated his working life to exposing
the myths, bull and lies of the exercise world, in order to teach
people how to exercise responsibly, safely and effectively. Because
he is genetically average, has never used performance enhancing
drugs, has a very demanding job, and is a family man too, he
can totally relate to the lot of the average person.
Born in 1958, in England, his "credentials" include
over 25 years of training (and making just about every mistake
possible), over 300 published articles, having authored four
books on training, including Brawn, Beyond Brawn and The Insider's
Tell-All Handbook on Weight-Training Technique, and having published
and edited an independent training magazine for over ten years.
Stuart is not part of the weight-training establishment. Though
he has written many articles for the mainstream bodybuilding
press, he has hammered away at his central themes, albeit limited
by editorial constraints. Few people in the training world who
have any visibility speak on behalf of the true interests of
typical grassroots trainees. Most people with visibility speak
on behalf of the training establishment, and therefore have to
peddle the usual "company line." Stuart presents a
very different perspective-a rebel's perspective. But Stuart
is not an armchair athlete. He has deadlifted 400 pounds (over
double bodyweight) for 20 consecutive rest-pause reps.
Stuart can be reached at cspubltd@spidernet.com.cy and his web
site is at www.hardgainer.com; he can also be contacted by mail
care of CS Publishing Ltd., P.O. Box 20390, CY-2151 Nicosia,
Cyprus. A free copy of Hardgainer magazine is available upon
