Dr. John Ziegler was a Marine injured in the Pacific and had metal plates in his head and leg. He developed interest in weights for rehab because of that. Probably behind his interest in developing steroids in the US too.

Please note there is a part 2 to the article at the bottom as link.

Those are the articles that I referenced in my post: Isometrics my experience.
Starr differentiates between pure isometrics and the isotonic-isometric system.

It is also signifiant to note that Bill Starr is quite plain in the last paragraph Page One that there were many athletes from other sports (and himself as well) that got very good results from pure isometrics and later isotonics-isometrics WITHOUT dianabol.
