“For a man to be truly strong, in addition to correct physical training he must also possess something intangible and priceless that cannot be taught by even the greatest of teachers… the will to be strong.” -George Hackenschmidt
Looking forward to the next article. I’ve known of him from your materials in the past but never looked him up. I must definitely do as he appears to be what we called now a holistic person
Thanks! Unlike some from his era, there I quite a bit of information on Hackenschmidt. He was an amazing athlete and strongman who made health a priority for sure.
The Way to Live: In Health and Physical Fitness - it's a good book that talks about his life as well as his thoughts on Physical culture. It outlines his series of bodyweight exercise as well as exercise with weights and his exercises for athletes.
