WATCH: The “Real” Low Carb Bodybuilding Diet From The Golden Era

by Ric Drasin Published on Sep 24, 2018

Ric Drasin talks about the REAL low carb dieting that was happening back in the day of bodybuilding.

Ric Drasin is a beloved bodybuilding icon because of his oral history of the Golden Era. He is a man who is able to vividly describe the personalities, moments, diets, and training methods used back in the day. As science and technology continues to grow at a rapid pace – so too have the training and diet methods of bodybuilders. Things change so much that it’s hard to keep a grasp on the history of the sport. That’s what makes Ric Drasin’s knowledge so important. He takes the time to remind us of the methods of the past.

So here we are again with another installment of Ric’s Corner – in this episode Ric goes into detail about the low carb diets that Golden Age bodybuilders used back in the day and how they differ from the tactics used in modern bodybuilding. Perhaps there are a few golden tips worth keeping in this wealth of history. Check out the video above!
