Strength and How to Obtain It by Eugen Sandow I was pleasantly surprised to find this book and the magazine below at Amazon. I once bid on the original edition of this book on Ebay, but couldn't quite fathom the final price of somewhere in the 300-dollar range! While I've never read the book, for the true lover of Iron History it's a must buy. View details of Strength and How to Obtain it at Amazon.

Sandow the Magnificent
This is an excellent book that I've grouped with the other two items above. I own this book and can highly recommend it, especially since it is one of the few scholarly written history books in the field of bodybuilding.

by Paul Anderson I don't know much about this book other than that it was written by the famous Weightlifter Paul Anderson. While it is listed as "new," it is out of print, but still available used through Amazon

Strength And
Conditioning Journal
A magazine that I have not read, but I thought it might be interesting to Bigsteel readers. Probably a bit more technical than the typical weight training book. |
