Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have read several written works of Eugen Sandow( 1867-1925 ) and I must admit that his physical culture is rather usable still today. The first part of this book is dedicated to descripe the story of Sandow and only at second part the book is conserning the physical culture as such.
This work contains anatomy, with details of anterior and posterior aspects of body and it's muscles. I consern this very important for phyical culturist or body builder alike. The book then proceeds to give some 46 different excersises with bodyweight, dumbbells and heavy weights that are completely usable today and I've taken various exercises to my own programs. I would like to recommend this very warmly.

1894. This study reveals the marvel of anatomists, sculptors and artists in the nude; embracing the great athlete's simple method of physical education for the home, the gymnasium, and the Army Training School; preceded by a biography dealing with the chief incidents in Mr. Sandow's professional career, his phenomenal prowess and gladiatorial skill in completive matches, contests and exhibitions, with Mr. Sandow's scheme of dumbbell and barbell exercises, and his views on the physiology of gymnastics, the function of the muscles, etc. Copiously illustrated.
