Baddest Motherfuckers Ever- Armand “Fuck Cooking Food, I’ll Eat It Raw” Tanny

“As time went by, he thought why be so conservative — get in there and really help the guy trying to make the lift. Get hold of him bodily when necessary, apply the pressure. The closer the contact, the more realistic the assistance. The idea started getting clearer when Bill used the heavy touch on the power rack bench squat. How was a man going to get that first squat started from a sitting position on the bench with the bar resting on the shoulder level on the cross pins, loaded to two or three hundred pounds more than his best regular squat? A helper on each end usually results in an uneven spot. A steadier and more practical way proved to be method of getting directly behind the lifter, bear hugging him under the arms, and simply boosting him to a standing position.”
“The method may prove awkward at first, but after a bit of practice, the spotter gets to know the lifter’s particular sticking points and the amount of help he really needs. The whole idea of the touch system is to transfer power past sticking points. Complete movements can be made with heavier than regular limit lifts. The lifter gets the opportunity to use very heavy weights.”
“Bill West, himself, was averaging 575 from the deck in every deadlift workout. But for some reason- and it went on for a whole year- he could not make 600 high deadlift. The secret eluded him. He knew if he could high deadlift heavy, his regular deadlift would go up. In a very brief period, using the touch system, it happened exactly that way.
His high deadlift program went like this:
505 x 5; 555 x 1; 575 x 1; 605 x 1; 615 x 1
Touch system: 630 x 1; 655 x 1; 670 x 1; 405 x 5
His regular deadlift shot up to 630″ (Tanny).
145 x 10
185 x 10
245 x 5
270 x 3
295 x 4 reps x 5 sets
The second series of sets is done with the bar elevated 4 or 5 additional inches but not over 8 inches above the chest:
325 x 1
345 x 1
370 x 6 singles
290 x 10 reps
Tanny felt like the creatine in his diet, obtained from the massive amounts of raw meat he was eating, was the reason he was able to bring such a complete package of size, cuts, and muscularity to the stage, all while maintaining a level of strength that made him the envy of other lifters around the country at 200 lbs. Clearly, the fact that he had been training hard with what basically amounted to an early powerbuilding routine for nearly 20 years by the time he won the pro Mr. USA played a major role as well, in addition to the fact that he added an immense amount of GPP to his program in the form of gymnastics on the beach and wrestling.
Whatever it was, Armand Tanny definitely saw the inside of enough women in a relatively prudish time, made a pretty tidy sum of money, lived in the nicest climates in the US, and basically lived as a gym going beach bum who garnered a reputation for being one of the most muscular and strongest dudes in the country- all without really competing- to have baddest motherfucker status fully engaged.

I've heard about the raw meat thing before, but if you wanted a source that didn't leave you emptying your gut so often your midsection looked like that last Tanny picture then it would be difficult nowadays and expensive compared to cheap meat you can cook.
I'm not sure that's entirely true- there's a book I'm going to use called "The Good Old Days- They Were Terrible" that actually paints a picture of the late 19th, early 20th Century that's pretty bleak, and it seem that doping of cattle started even as early as the early 20th. If the West Coast was anywhere near as polluted as the waters off the east coast in the early 20th C, Tanny was taking his fucking life into his hands with those clams.
If you want to eat raw meat, the best compromise is to get intact cuts of beef or lamb (not ground or tenderized) and lightly cook the outside. Surface bacteria is (for the most part) the only thing you need to worry about with beef and lamb. If you dip an intact piece of meat in boiling water for 10-15 seconds, this should get rid of the surface bacteria without cooking the inside at all. I've done this with lamb and it's quite nice.
Yeah you can also cure the meat and not cook it at all, my point was that it was normal at that time to buy meat exclusively from a butcher who gets it from an abattoir maybe few hours away. At that time the meat would almost certainly have been "free range", rather than kept in small cells where diseases are spread quickly and the dead are processed to feed the living, and meat like that is a luxury (or depending on your culture an expensive necessity) now.
Good article. When are you doing another podcast? I'm stuck listening to "The Jason Feruggia Show" 🙁
No idea. Paul fell off the face of the Earth.

Great article. This is probably the best series you've had going.
"He can fucking stay there too."

Mr. Lewis, perhaps "Rant" can fill in for Paul?
Eh, the powerlifting community has enough gossipy shit-talkers without me adding to the problem. I don't care to elaborate.
Thank you, BTW.

Yup, quick 10 seconds on a hot grill with a slab on intact beef and you're good to go. Try it, it's fantastic!
