The Development of Physical Power

Arthur Saxon (April 28, 1878 - August 6, 1921), born Arthur Hennig and nicknamed "The Iron-Master," was a German strongman and circus performer from the late 19th century into the early 20th century. Saxon is most well known for the bent press, with which he set a world record of 168 kg (370 lbs) (although there are claims that he has done 175 kg (385 lbs).) as well as the "two hands anyhow" lift of 203 kg (448 lbs). Arthur Saxon was widely thought to be the strongest man in the world in 1900, and reprinted here is his famous 1905 booklet on how to develop physical power. This book is a true - one-of-a-kind classic. Read it and go back in time and see how a true champion became the greatest (natural) superman of his age - why not emulate Arthur and develop super-human power - using the methods he used as described herein?
