Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In giving details of a typical training programme of Hermann Goerner's, may I preface this with the comment that this is an extremely difficult thing to do, for the simple reason that he did not have or follow what might be really termed a “ set ” training programme—he always varied his workouts and mixed his work so much that one could truthfully say that he never worked through exactly the same programme twice. He did, of course, use a planned and progressive programme but he did not, as many do, map out a certain number of lifts with a certain poundage and then perform them a set number of times for a given period. Each training session of Hermann's contained a mixed programme of kettlebell, dumb-bell and barbell lifting. Sometimes a workout would also include supporting feats. For instance, when Hermann trained three times per week, he might in the first training session give preference to kettlebell exercises, but he would also include barbell and dumb-bell lifts too. The second session might see the emphasis placed on dumb-bell training with not so much on kettlebell and barbell work, and the third workout would have the emphasis placed on barbell work with just a little kettlebell and dumb-bell work included in the session. During his open-air training periods at the Germania Bath, his workouts would also include putting the shot, weight-throwing, jumping and swimming in addition to working out with the weights." - Edgar MuellerThis classic is a must have book for your physical culture library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find more similar titles including a Free Catalog at www.StrongmanBooks.com The story of George F. Jowett is most inspiring to all who are seeking great strength and a powerfully developed body. As a boy he was badly injured and physicians declared he would never live to see the age of fifteen. What the physicians overlooked was the consuming flame of desire which burned within the weak, undersized body. He overcame his physical problems and rose to be one of the world's strongest and best built athletes. The Key to Might and Muscle is his greatest work in the strength field. Tons of information on exercises from head to toe, with many stories of his fellow strongmen and their feats. If you buy one book for strength and fitness this would be a great choice. Here are the chapters inside: 1 - A Few Chapters From the Story of My Life 2 - The Truth About Exercise 3 - Defining the Mystery of Strength 4 - Curative Exercises 5 - Building a Mighty Chest 6 - Is There Such a Thing As Bone Strength? 7 - What is the Bogey in Forearm and Calf Development? 8 - Thickening the Wrist by Strengthening the Grip 9 - The Value of Finger Strength and How It Is Acquired 10 - Famous Men of Might and Muscle 11 - How a Columnar Neck Creates Nerve Force 12 - Strengthening the Weakest Link in the Spinal Chain 13 - Creating Intense Vitality By Abdominal Development 14 - Banishing Round Shoulders & Protruding Shoulder Blades 15 - Some Fascinating Facts and Figures 16 - How to Develop Superb Hips and Thighs 17 - Where is the Science of Lifting Weights? 18 - Building a Shapely Arm 19 - How Specialization Destroys the Jinx Of Stubborn Muscles 20 - What is Man's Limit in Weight-Lifting? 21 - Why Home Exercise is the Best 22 - Do You Know the Sources of Your Vitality? 23 - The Standard That Determines the Ideal Shape 24 - Some Actual Results of Practical Exercise From inside the book "Just sit down a few moments and question yourself honestly. Search your heart thoroughly, and I am sure you will agree with me that there is much to be improved in yourself. Even if you are athletic, you can never keep up the standard of fitness unless you stick to a few minutes of practice. It amply repays you for the time spent. I never regret the many hours devoted to this practice. It meant a new lease of life to me, and as I draw this chapter to a close let me say that such splendid specimens of humanity as Sandow, Maxick, and Pullum all traversed the same road to secure what they got. They were not miracles, although it may appear so. Just remember them, and let their lives inspire you, as I was inspired. Everybody has the same chance, and the man who is normally healthy, really, has no obstacles to face. Perseverance, patience and determination will be repaid in untold wealth, health, strength, self-reliance and fortitude." George Jowett has his name attached to a number of other books including the ever-popular Molding Mighty Men Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incredibly strong, highly versatile, and naturally muscular - the strongmen of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century still impress us a hundred years after their time. In this appealing book, circus strongman Robert "Eisenhans" Spindler demonstrates how the bread-and-butter training methods of the oldtime strongmen can be put to use in modern times to reach goals of supreme strength, muscularity, and health, in a straightforward, no-nonsense, and traditional way.From the content: -The movement our human bodies are designed for-How to rid your training of unnecessary clutter and focus on the essentials-How to progress on any feat of strength-How to find feats of strength that suit you-How to succeed in stonelifting, steel bending, grip strength, teeth strength, etc.-Why teeth strength training is actually good for you-How to determine your body type and train accordingly-The correlation between looking strong and being strong-How to remain healthy while following an intense strength routine-How the oldtime strongmen ate and what we can learn from it-Why people today are insecure about their nutrition and what to do about it-How to adapt your training program according to age-How to perform feats of strength in front of an audience-How to design an oldtime strongman show-The role of mental strength in strongman feats-Why it takes more than physical strength to be a strong manAbout the author: Robert "Eisenhans" Spindler has more than twenty years of experience in strength sports and more than ten years of experience as a stage strongman. For several years, he made a living solely out of performing feats of strength in front of audiences.

Book Synopsis The Text Book of Weightlifting by : Arthur Saxon
Download or read book The Text Book of Weightlifting written by Arthur Saxon and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To my mind, every man should devote at least some small attention to Weight-lifting. I don't think that I have come to this conclusion simply because I myself have gained some distinction as a weight- lifter, but rather for the reasons set forth below. First of all, why does a man learn to box ? Well, because it is asserted that every man should learn how to defend himself in case of necessity. A good and sufficient reason, you will say. The same may also be put forward as an excuse for learning wrestling and ju-jutsu no doubt, but I am inclined to fancy that the noble art would possibly be more useful than either. As to fencing, club-swinging, etc., I know no reason for their practice except it be that of pleasure or a desire for physical exercise, which said reasons may be equally advanced for Weight-lifting, which it will, I think, be further readily admitted is the most sure and certain means of developing strength —a quality which would be most undeniably useful in any means of self-defence. Now, beside all this, every man in every walk of life is certain, sooner or later, to be confronted with a heavy object, bulky or otherwise, which he strongly desires to lift". - Arthur SaxonThis is an original version, restored and re-formatted edition of Saxon's 1910 classic.

Book Synopsis Understanding Ethiopia by : Frances M. Williams
Download or read book Understanding Ethiopia written by Frances M. Williams and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Ethiopia is a detailed description of Ethiopia’s geological story and enables non-specialist readers to share the author’s thrill at gaining a deeper insight into the processes which produced, and continue to shape, this amazing country. Ethiopia’s spectacular landscapes, ranging from mountains over 4500m high to salt plains 150m below sea level, are a reflection of the geological processes that formed the country. Indeed, its history and the historical sites, for which it is renowned, are largely determined by geology. Readers learn why and how Ethiopia’s geology is both unique and dynamic, as here the earth’s crust is in the process of breaking apart.
Book Synopsis The Way To Live by : George Hackenschmidt
Download or read book The Way To Live written by George Hackenschmidt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Some trainers recommend to their pupils for the training of all muscle groups one and the same (light) weight and believe they are able to obtain the same effect by frequent repetitions. My experience has taught me that this is wrong, for the muscles of men or animals who are distinguished for certain feats of endurance are by no means over-developed. A long-distance runner or long-distance cyclist always has comparatively thin legs, as have a racehorse, stag, or greyhound. Nature does not act without aim and purpose. Hence there is a great difference between feats of endurance and feats of strength. One must consider that, although it is quite possible to enlarge muscles by certain light, prolonged exercises, at the same time the development of the sinews may be neglected, and it is the sinews which transport the action of the muscles to the bone xframe. The sinews can only be exercised and strengthened by correspondingly heavy muscle work. Besides, to take a paradoxical example, it is quite impossible to improve strong muscle groups, as, for instance, the hip muscles, with light-weight exercises. A further illustration of the fallacy of attempting to develop the muscles by frequent repetitions with the same light exercises may be found in a comparison with any and every other form of athletics, in which a man would never think of merely repeating his training programme. In order to improve himself either in pace or distance, he must set himself a steady progression of arduous effort". - George Hackenschmidt This is an original version, restored and re-formatted edition of Hackenschmidt's 1908 classic.

Book Synopsis Secrets of Strength and Development by : Bob Hoffman
Download or read book Secrets of Strength and Development written by Bob Hoffman and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Few men grow to manhood without at some time during their early life passing through a period when their greatest desire is to be a strong man. They may know some man who is especially strong and wish to be like him. They may have visited the circus or the theatre and seen a powerful man who is their ideal. For at least a period they are filled with a desire to emulate the deeds of their temporary hero. There is no subject quite as fascinating to most young men as the subject of strength and development. The principal source of their conversation may be the deeds of their favorite athletic hero: a baseball player such as Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio; a football player like Biggie Goldberg, the great Pittsburgh halfback, or Ernie Nevers, the Pacific Coast fullback star of a few years ago; it may be George O'Brien of the movies, or one of the series of movie Tar- zans—Buster Crabbe, Johnny Weismuller, or Glen Morris. But the strength of the man is what they really admire, for it was strength and development more than any other physical or mental characteristic which made these men stars of the playing field or the movies. If you wish to prove my assertion that strength is more admired or talked about than any other subject among young fellows, start a discussion among your friends about strong men. Just tell your friends that a relative of yours, or some other friend or acquaintance, is certainly the strongest fellow in town, and then listen to the outbursts of rhetoric ..." -Bob HoffmanThis is a 6" by 9" original version, restored and re-formatted edition of Bob Hoffman's 1940 classic.
