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.
