Description - Strong As Sandow by Don Tate
Little Friedrich M ller was a puny weakling who longed to be athletic and strong like the ancient Roman gladiators. He exercised and exercised. But he was still puny.
As a young man, he found himself under the tutelage of a professional body builder. Friedrich worked and worked. He changed his name to Eugen Sandow and he got bigger and stronger. Everyone wanted to become "as strong as Sandow."
Inspired by his own experiences body-building, Don Tate tells the story of how Eugen Sandow changed the way people think about strength and exercise and made it a part of everyday life.
Backmatter includes more information about Sandow, suggestions for exercise, an author's note, and a bibliography.
