Muscle Control
Dear Friend,
Muscle Control gives one a sense of self-confidence when performing feats of strength. All world records in any lifting are created by means of perfect muscular control. Learn complete relaxation and concentration to enable you to control every muscle of your body. Thicken the shoulders, broaden the back, increase your chest size. Learn perfect coordination of muscle and mind through concentration. Therefore, to the man wishing to be exceptionally strong, muscle control is absolutely essential.
Just What is Muscle Control?
Flexing the upper arm and making the biceps jump is called biceps control. As with the biceps, so all the other muscles can be made to jump or be controlled at will. Movements like these are called Muscle Control. The practice is a healthy one. It refreshes and strengthens the muscles. By steady, serious practice, Muscle Control can be mastered and, when it is, you will experience
new vigorous health, vitality and youthfulness through NATURE'S WAY. Stiffness of the muscles and clumsiness can easily be cured by correct muscle control. Stomach disorders and constipation can be relieved. Rupture can be avoided.
How Muscle Control Can Help You
There are many men who are already in possession of health but who are not satisfied with their strength and development. If you have been trying for years to develop your body like some muscular strong man or world champion athlete, yet have failed (in spite of good health), has it ever occurred to you that something might be wrong with the system you are using? Have you ever thought that, in the midst of your endless experiments with bodyweight exercises, barbells, dumbbells, cable exercisers, machines and other mechanical exercisers, there is some valuable piece of information that is missing? If so, let me assure you that you are not alone!
Anyone who is trying to develop functional strength needs to add Muscle Control to their physical training regime. Combine conventional exercise with Muscle Control and you will achieve a high degree of physical development, a symmetrical body, muscles that are long, agile, that ripple with every movement, muscle that will have the lightness of a tiger, speed of a panther, the strength of a Sampson!
Muscle Control Should Be an Important Part of Your Training
It is obvious, then, that muscle control should be an important part of everyone's training. All the big names in bodybuilding throughout history considered muscle control an important part of their training and posing routines. Otto Arco, Walt Baptiste, Ottley Coulter, Marvin Eder, John Farbotnick, Rudy Gambacorta, John Grimek, Ed Jubinville, Siegmund Klein, Bill Lilly, Anton Matysek, Maxick, Alan P. Mead, William Oliphant, Monte Saldo, Eugen Sandow, to name a few, have all practiced muscle control in their training and demonstrated muscle control in their posing exhibitions. It's easy, fascinating, and once learned never forgotten.
Best wishes,

Bill Hinbern
P.S. The benefits derived by stretching and limbering the muscles for sports are worth many times the cost of the course.
Muscle Control is easy and you CAN do it!

Muscle Control
or
Body Development by Will-Power
by Maxick
Originally published in 1910, this truly remarkable course has run through countless editions.
This course describes in detail how, by use of mental concentration, you can develop and gain individual control of every muscle in the body.
It’s easy, fascinating, and once learned never forgotten.
The author, by adding muscle control to weight training, developed both the finest physique and such strength that he was, pound for pound, the strongest man in the world!
Here is what Maxick, himself, had to say about the importance of muscle control:
“I do not, and never have, claimed that by muscle-control alone, unaided by mechanical exercises, each muscle may be brought to its highest state of development; but I do claim that mechanical exercise, either with or without apparatus, will never produce the limit of strength and development of which the individual is capable unless combined with muscle-control.”
His measurements were: chest 40 ¾" (normal), 45" (expanded), biceps 15 ½", forearm 13" and thigh 23", at a height of just 5'4 ½" and a weight of only 145 lbs.!
As you can see, even though he was small in statue, he set some of the most astonishing lifting records the world has ever seen. (He was third in the world to elevate over double bodyweight when he did 322 1/2 lbs. at a bodyweight of only 145 lbs!)
Here are some of the things you can expect to learn from Maxick:
Read about Maxick’s early bedridden years and how, through determination, he overcame his weakness.
Learn the amazing discovery that, in a year’s time, made Maxick stronger than all his friends in school.
Discover the author’s secret method of concentration that he used along with rational exercise.
The inside secrets of why mechanical exercise alone may hinder muscular development.
Understand how Maxick overcame sticking points in his training by using a revolutionary approach to exercise.
Why a thorough understanding of what is meant by muscle control is crucial in getting the most out of your physical training.
An explanation of the causes of muscle-binding and how to avoid them.
The passive condition of relaxation and how it is overlooked in most training programs.
The remarkable story of how Maxick won three different weightlifting championships at three different weight classes!
Maxick’s secret method of relaxation and contraction in getting your muscles under control.
How the physical benefits of muscle control will carry over into your mental powers of increased concentration.
There are 4 special exercises for isolating the back muscles.
Another 9 special exercises for isolating the shoulder muscles.
An additional 5 special exercise for isolating the chest muscles.
2 more special exercises for isolating the arm muscles.
An extra 3 special exercises for isolating the thigh and calf muscles.
And 2 special exercises for isolating the abdominal muscles.
By learning to depress the abdominal wall you will be able to “roll” the abdominals.
After learning how to isolate the abdominal muscles you will be able to perform a Double Perpendicular Isolation, a Central Single Perpendicular Isolation, and a One-Sided Perpendicular Isolation.
A fully illustrated front and back anatomy chart showing all the voluntary muscles of the body along with their names.
And much, much more!
This is a 6 x 9 softcover book with over 50 beautiful photos of Maxick demonstrating the exact positions which enable you to voluntarily contract and relax each muscle. Fabulous in content!
Not a general discussion of the subject but a complete detailed course. You’re sure to enjoy it. Lots of valuable information at a low price. Remember its name.
A Classic!

Muscle Control
by Walt Baptiste
We used to say that muscle was controlled by the principle of “mind over matter.” Now we know there is no such thing as matter. Each cell of the body of which muscle is composed has intelligence and consciousness. It has memory and it is bound to follow and obey the directions of any higher intelligence.
The value of muscle control is many-fold. Learning to direct the movement of the muscles results in training the body to obey and function as a whole. Learning to control the body is an important part of one's physical training. When muscles are under control of the mind, they not only develop more completely, but they are able to put forth far more effort in strength because the effort is based on the strength of the will. Further, muscle control relaxes the entire body and saves a vast amount of nervous energy caused by nervous tension.
This course explains in depth all the popular controls such as the:
Biceps contraction together and alternate.
Triceps control.
Deltoid control.
Latissimus control.
Pectoral control with the hands in front, above, and at the sides.
Trapezius control in “most muscular pose”, with arms held behind the small of the back, and with one arm behind the back.
Forearm control.
Neck control.
Abdominal control while lying on an incline board or floor, abdominal arch control, abdominal separation, abdominal vacuum, abdominal rope isolation.
Thigh control and thigh roll.
Calf display and control.
Biceps of thigh control.
Scapula alternate isolation with hands held down, and hands held up, and hands held out to the sides at shoulder level. Scapula dislocates.
Back contraction of the latissimus.
Sample combination controls.
And much, much more!
Fully illustrated with over 30 photographs plus 2 anatomy charts.

"I can honestly say that these books you have produced cannot be faulted and if Maxick came back to earth and saw your reproduction of his book he would heartily approve."
B.H.

"Bill, I've been practicing Muscle Control by Maxick for a few months now and I've read a lot about him. My opinion is he did not use weights on a regular basis but only to train for lifting contests. And he was not a
technical lifter but used raw strength to elevate the weights. He engaged in lifting contests only to prove his methods and lifted because of the specificity of training principle. I think he got most of his strength through Muscle Control and various gymnastic and acrobatic exercises. I arrived at my opinion from a number of quotes from texts. I bought and have used your four set series on Muscle Control. In spite of a fairly serious health problem I find my self showing some real and fundamental gains in internal strength lately, subtle but real. They have sort of crept up on me and I can only put it
down to Muscle Control. More time will tell. It's interesting that your new
edition has sold so well. Muscle Control is a real process of exploration. I
don't understand it, but my practice continues to evolve."
