Too often a beginning bodybuilder has to do his training secretly either because his parents don't want sonny-boy to ``lift all those old barbell things'' because ``you'll stunt your growth'' or because childish taunts from his schoolmates, like ``Hey, lookit Mr. America, whaddya gonna do with all those muscles (of which he has none at the time)?''

After all, a guy's gotta have a little ego!

Therefore it's a genuine pleasure to tell you about an entirely happy bodybuilder who has never had to train in secret; has never heard one unkind word from his parents; and never has been taunted by his schoolmates!

This happy, always smiling lad with the sunny disposition is our new Junior Mr. Canada -- Henri de Courcy.

Far from discouraging Henri, his parents urge him on to greater and greater accomplishments. Instead of admonishing him to let the weights alone they personally took him to that master Montreal bodybuilding authority, Professor Roland Claude.

And they couldn't have entrusted Henri to better hands because ``le professeur'' knows his muscles from the sterno-cleido mastoideus of the neck right down to the tibialis anticus of the leg -- and better still, he knows just what exercises work best for them and what Weider principles to combine them with for fast, fast muscle growth.

That's because the good professor teaches only Weider methods at his famous Montreal Health Studio which is located at 1821 Mt. Royal East in Montreal. Undoubtedly you have read the case histories of some of his prize winning pupils (every pupil has a physique title of some kind or other). There's Gaetan d'Amours who is our newest Mr. Canada; Jean-Paul Senesac, whose story appeared here two issues ago; Jack Boissoneault, who was with us last month; Charles Harve, who recently won the ``Most Muscular Man'' subdivision award in the Mr. Canada event; and a host of others. Yesiree, the professor knows his muscles!
