Yoga for men only

[cas9]

I'm sure most people here know the book of Frank Rudolph Young "Yoga for men only". It's hard to find any information about that mysterious guy. Does anybody know if his system of Yoga has an actual tradition or is it made up completely? The styles of Yoga I know do not include self resistance the way Mr Young includes it in his book. Would love to hear more about this guy and his style of Yoga;)

I did get to see, "Yoga for Men" years ago. Can't remember too much from it. I remember him showing an exercise or two for widening shoulders.

I have the book.  The exercises look very much like the Dynaflex exercises or the Chi Mind Control Course exercises.

Would You be able to explain the shoulder widening exercise? Someone gave me Mike Dayton's Chi Mind Control Course. Never really dived into it. It's definitly different.

Looked in the book and found this exercise:

How to square and broaden your shoulders with minimum effort (page 40)

Since all instinctively admire the man with broad shoulders, you can't afford to let yours droop and look narrower than they are naturally.   Fortunately, they can  be broadened beyond their natural appearance, because the tendons of your shoulder muscles which forms cuffs around your shoulder joints, can be stretched a full inch out from each shoulder.  By tone up your trapezius muscles afterwards, you can easily hold up your broadened shoulders, like a clothes rack, in and their new width will be notice by all particularly. by the woman you want to impress.  Widening your shoulder j0int well-lubricated.  It also strengthens the ligaments and tendons of the joint, and is  most helpful in preventing and overcoming bursitis of the shoulder, which is a common aliment.  It also enables you to escape being saddled with the narrow , shrinking shoulders of past middle-age and old-age, and consequently keeps you looking appealing all of your life.

Will type more when I have more time.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. That is the exercise I was talking about.

brown43 thank you for the effort. Do most of the exercises focus on stretching or is it self resistance stuff and stretching combined?

[brown43]

I haven't really studied the different isometric/movements. It looks very much like Dynaflex or the Chi Mind control isometrics holds. But I will study more, as it has exercises by body parts in the book, about Extraordinary Health.

I will type the rest of the exercise this weekend.

The position to assume
1. Stand close to the free end of an opened door, facing it. (Closet door should do.)
2. Place tips of your fingers of each hand on its corresponding half of the top edge of the door.  If you are too short, stand on a chair, a solid box or a secure stool.
3. Elbows somewhat bent, and pointedly directly outwards

How to do this simple movement
1. Pull down hard with tips of your fingers.
2. Your elbows will pint outwards farther.
4. Raise and spread your shoulder blades wider aprat, thus broadening your shoulders.  Hold for two seconds.
5. Your waist will be thinned because your torso will be pulled upwards from aboe (by your arms), and pulled downwards form below (by the weigh tof your hips and legs).

This simple movement:
1. Broaden your shoulders
2. Lengthens (stretches) and slims down your side-to-side waistlifen profile.  A remarkably simple movement to bring back to you-and retain-"that sex appeal look1-4 ."  It also develops the underside of the forearm and as well as the trapezius.

Frequency
1-4 times a day, depending on how fast you want results

Thanks Brown43!

I purchased several of Frank Rudloph Young's (FRY) books.



1. Yoga for Men Only(4 copies)

2. Yoga Secrets for Extraordinary Health and Long Life

3. Yogatronic Diet

4. Cyclomancy

5. The Laws of Mental Domination

6. The Secrets of Personal Psychic Power

7. Somo-Psychic Power

8. Secret Mental Powers



FRY wrote,I "I gave up jogging in favor of a better exercise: speed sprinting for short distances. I predict science will agree with me about the greater value of the much better miracle exercise." "Do some exercise every day. Sprint at top speed several times from 20 to 100 yards, depending upon your running conditions. Between the sprints, walk from 2 to 4 times their lengths. ( Or a total of four mov-asasanas).



I find twelve flights at one time, once a day, be the peak exercise necessary for top condition. Start climbing two or three flights by two's very fast. Do so five a week. Use comfortable, low-heeled shoes.



Important: Power (and bulkier) thing muscles slow you down when jog on a level surface. But they speed you up when you climb stairs or run up a hill. You need more powerful and bigger thigh muscles then, which won't tire so easily from added muscular effort. It has proved , besides, that running up a hill (or stairs by two's) rewards you with a much stronger heart than running a level surface.



Also, will write up the body building advice.



FRY, at 40, with but 6 weeks of minimum part-time natural preparation, he was judged a FINALIST against a maximum prepared , weight-lifting trained, vitamin-gobbling coming Mr. Universe of 22.



FRY wrote,"If you are a man you want to enlarge your shoulders, chest, arms, back, thighs, calves and other muscles, fast. You may want to look and feel Herculean in your clothes and in a bathing suit, and stand out in the crowd. If you are young enough you may desire t compete in physique contests--and win.



Find in the Index ( Yoga Secrets of Extraordinary Health and Long Life) the part of the your body which you want to enlarge fast.. Do, particularly, the mov-asanas listed under arms, back, bulk, chest, neck-shoulder lines, shoulders, and Thighs.
