Law Book Dedication
Dan Keating, Professor of Law at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, dedicated the Fifth Edition of his casebook SALES: A Systems Approach to Clarence. It was an out-of-the-blue surprise, which are the best kind. We had no idea what was in the heavy FedEx package. All law books are heavy, but this one was truly special. The dedication read,
To my good friend Clarence Bass
A fellow author, a fellow lawyer
and a one-of-a-kind fitness guru
We couldn't be more pleased with the dedication. Clarence is honored and touched.
Charles Poliquin Learns from Clarence
We were surprised and delighted to receive a call from Kim Goss, Editor in Chief of the Poliquin Performance website (charlespoliquin.com ), requesting photos for a feature article Charles had written about Clarence. Coach Poliquin has written a series of articles relating things he has learned from various people in the strength and fitness field. Poliquin, a well-regarded strength and fitness coach and author, is favorably quoted in our book Challenge Yourself as recognizing that both volume and high-intensity training build muscle, but for different reasons. "Both camps are right," he wrote in The Poliquin Principles (Dayton Writers Group, 1997).
Poliquin's piece is titled Five Lessons I learned from Clarence Bass (A look at a lifetime of physical superiority). It is well written and quite insightful. He dug deep into our website and came out with some real gems. He says some very nice things about Clarence.
Check it out and decide for yourself. Here's the link. Take a gander at his website while you're there.
Our sincere thanks to Kim and Coach Poliquin.
RIPPED DVD Clips Now on You Tube
Wayne and Tina Gallasch, our friends and DVD co-producers, have posted clips from the 3 RIPPED DVDs on You Tube. People have been asking for it for a long time, and we’ve finally done it. If you’ve wondered about our DVDs, the clips provide a good preview.
First RIPPED DVD covers all aspects of the Ripped lifestyle: meal preparation, training diary, athletic-type lifting, Tabata intervals, and lower ab and oblique training, and more http://www.youtube.com/gmvbodybuilding#p/u/3/DMb2VDeGapI
The second RIPPED DVD takes up where the first leaves off, adding a whole-body weight workout, interval workouts on the treadmill and the rower, behind the scenes at a photo shoot, along with a series of conversations with Clarence introducing action segments and explaining core concepts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V80yfkaqKoA
Completely different, our third DVD is about motivation, the sine qua non of all successful training efforts. Using real life stories, we show you how to stay motivated year after year. Wayne's story is about competition, the ultimate motivator. Wayne transformed himself from a fitness buff, lifting weights in his basement, to the world's best indoor rower at 500 meters for his age and weight. Clarence explains why personal achievement is the best motivator and how trying to keep up with Wayne almost sidelined him. Tina tells how discovering, to her great surprise, that she enjoyed indoor rowing and lifting converted her from a couch potato to an avid trainer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwC9LyzeEac
The RIPPED DVDs are available from from Ripped Enterprises in the USA and GMV PRODUCTIONS in Australia www.gmv.com.au ; see our Products page for many more details (including viewer comments) and ordering information GO
