"They Called Him...
The Iron Man
Dear Friend,
One of the truly great pioneers of modern weight lifting was born in 1909.
Peary Rader, strong man, writer, publisher, and founder of the famous Iron Man Magazine gave an open forum to those that wanted to share their methods for success.
It All Started From Humble Beginnings
From humble beginnings in rural America, young Peary Rader had a burning desire to go from a skinny lad to a strong man. He tried every type of physical training course that his meager allowance would provide. Nothing seemed to add weight, or strength for that matter, to his scrawny frame. He decided to experiment on his own with a variety of methods. After several years of trial and error, young Rader managed to develop his own method for gaining weight and developing strength.
His Results Were So Obvious To Family and Friends That It Earned Him the Nickname, “Iron Man”.
In August of 1936, in the midst of The Great Depression, he began publishing his own magazine to spread the word. The first issue was called, “Super Physique”, but later changed to, you guessed it, “The Iron Man”.
It was a primitive affair, digest size, with only a few pages and a 'huge' first time print run of about 25 copies. He printed it with an old mimeograph machine found in the trash.
Rader's new magazine was published bi-monthly and available by subscription only. It grew dramatically as well as the methods of printing.
Peary Rader's reputation was personified through Iron Man over the years. It was a clean magazine that could be left on the kitchen table.
Rader was an elder in his church. No need to worry about any offensive language or photos in Iron Man. He wouldn't have it!
He didn't preach religion but occasionally would go off on a rant about some of the “modern supplements” used by the big names of the day.
Peary welcomed other points of view in his magazine offering an open forum to anyone who had something worthwhile to contribute.
He gave a start to many successful writers such as
Anthony Ditillo , Bruce Page,
Michael J. Salvati , Bradley J. Steiner, etc.
I remember when I would get my copy of Iron Man in the mail. I would drop whatever I was doing and open the brown envelope. Immediately, I would go to my favorite author and begin reading.
Great stuff in those days. Valuable information from a variety of sources.
Best wishes,
Bill Hinbern
P.S. Peary Rader wrote several courses, 3 of which are still available. Full of useful information that has stood the test of time, year after year.

About These Famous Courses:
"I’ve been interesting in weightlifting and health and fitness for 35 years. I wanted to tell you how much I liked your reprint of Peary Rader’s
'Master Bodybuilding and Weight Gaining System'.
After I had back surgery in 1994 (not due to an injury), I was advised to stay away from heavy exercise, so I stuck to dumbbells. I even developed a super-slow dumbbell routine that kept me in excellent shape, but did not produce much muscle mass. Enter Peary’s course. After only 2 weeks on his abbreviated system (squats, clean and press, and row), I’ve already put on a few pounds of solid muscle."

"I thought I would write and tell you about the great results that I'm getting from the Peary Rader courses. I've been using some of the information and routines over the last two months and the benefits are awesome! I've gained 15 lbs. of solid muscle and lost an inch on my waist! I can't wait until after six months! Thanks again, and keep up the good work."

"I know I'll enjoy the Peary Rader book because I always thought he was writing some of the best stuff around back when. My training partner here in Colorado is a 41 year old cop from Alliance, Nebraska. Peary Rader's place was right around the corner from his house when he was growing up."

"Thanks for your e-mail. I remember the original Iron Man Magazine from the
1970's when I was a kid interested in learning about lifting weights.
There was only one location in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I grew up, that
carried Iron Man. It was a bi-monthly publication and the
magazine/bookstore owner would keep Iron Man behind the counter and place
the current issue up against the window.
I would buy my copy every two months. I remember that the magazine smelled
like bubble gum--like the smell of new baseball cards that came with a
stick of bubble gum.
I used to work out in Timmy Leong's Gym in downtown Honolulu and he would
also read through his copy in his office. The walls of Timmy's Gym had a
few cover shots of Timmy in his prime. Timmy also purchased equipment for
his gym from Peary Rader's company.
Looking back now, the training and nutrition information contained in Iron
Man was the most honest and straight forward. No BS to sell supplements.
And the photos were great too. Don't get me wrong, I liked Muscle
Builder/Power too with it's flashy pictures of Arnold, Franco, Zane and
Larry Scott and Dave Draper. But Iron Man was the real deal, no flash,
only substance.
Thanks Again,"
Andrew L.
"Bill, you got me hooked with the Peary Rader course. I learned more from that little booklet than most of the current so-called strength and fitness gurus."
