Description
A fascinating look at the world of strength training, from its roots in ancient times, to the movers and shakers of the physical culture world up to the 1950s. Teeming with photographs and illustrations, it’s all here: strongmen and women of vaudeville; Sandow, bodybuilding’s first superstar; Charles Atlas who introduced more beginners to bodybuilding than anyone before him; ‘Milo’ Steinborn; the great John Grimek; Jack and Elaine LaLanne whose physical fitness television show was shown in all corners of the world; and dozens of others many of whom became household names. Some of their lives read like works of fiction and will hold the reader spellbound.
