What's That Rash? · Deep dive on progressive exercise · 12 May 2026 podcast

He was a syndicated newspaper columnist.

We're talking about Dr. William Brady.

And he said, yeah, extreme effort was no good in exercise for the heart.

And just like in general, it just wasn't, it wasn't seen to be healthy.

look, you know, I'm not going to argue with that.

However, it seems that the evidence is not in my favour because this man, Thomas Stallone, came along and his backstory was that he had had rheumatic fever when he was a kid and he was sent to bed, like you said, and he lost a lot of muscle in that time and got very, very underweight and thin and weak.

But while he was lying in bed, he was reading Strength and Health magazine, which at that time in the 20s and 30s was, you know,

Yeah, those flexing men with their big biceps.

So DeLorme was like, yes, this is my future.

I want to be a flexing bicep man.

And so when he got out of bed after being sufficiently rehabilitated from rheumatic fever, and he was told because of that that his heart was weak and that he wouldn't be able to do a lot of exercise at any point in his life.

And he pretty much set out to prove his doctors wrong and became a doctor himself and got super into weightlifting.

He was bench pressing, he was deadlifting, he was breaking all sorts of records.

He was from Alabama and one of the local newspapers dubbed him Bama Hercules because of how he looked.

He was certainly ripped.

So basically this is what he's sort of entering into

the medical profession with as his history, his own experience of rehabbing himself.

And then he's seeing this backlog of people with injuries, orthopaedic surgeries, realising that the sort of rehab exercises they were doing didn't kind of gel with what his experience had been.

And so he started trying to give people heavier exercises to do instead and started getting good results.

And it's fascinating to sort of see what he came up with and realise if you've ever done a session with a personal trainer or a weights class or asked ChatGPT to design your weights program.
