The Canadian strong man and the World Olympic Weightlifting Champion in 1953 the late Doug Hepburn, felt the one-rep gain system was one of the real building blocks to becoming a champion of super strength in a natural way, without the use of anabolic steroids of any kind. Between 1950 and 1956, at a height of 5’9” and a body weight that fluctuated between 260 and 305 pounds (arms, 20 ¼”; chest, 55”; thighs, 30”, etc.) Doug did some incredible lifts that 99 percent of the top bodybuilder, Olympic lifters, powerlifters and strongman competitors today would be hard pressed to do.
