August 1995

Peary Rader (1909-1991)
Founder of Iron Man magazine and the 20 rep breathing squat. Rader began squatting with 35 pounds for 10 reps and worked up to well over 300 pounds for 20 reps."It's gonna be the hardest work you've ever done. You gotta be absolutely annihilated when you finish. If you even think of a second set, then you are loafing. All the muscle you'll ever build depends on how hard you work on this one set of squats". -P. Rader
