Arthur The Great !

  If you take a look at the design of my blog you should be able to see that I am truly a fan of the Oldtime Strongmen. Guys like, George Hackenscmidt, Loius Cyr, Eugene Sandow, W.A. Pullum, George Jowett and Arthur Jones performed strength feats the phony-muscled bodybuilders of today would only dream about.These guys were strongest of the strong, but there is one guy that was truly legendary. 

   Arthur Saxon was the world's strongest man at the turn of the 19th century. Saxon was about my size, 5'10 204 pounds. He would travel around the world, often with a circus performing lifts guys bigger than him wouldn't even try ,never mind the amount of weight he would use.  One of his most famous lifts was performed  in front of the so-called World's Strongest Man at the time, Eugene Sandow. Listen to this now! He lifted a 110 pound Kettlebell to his shoulder, holding it there with his pinky finger. He then had a 160 pound man climb on to his back and sit on top of the Kettlebell. He then Bent Pressed the total weight of 270 pounds. Are you kidding me! Take a lok at my 88 pond Bent Press down low and now imagine Arthur Saxon doing that with a Kettlebell in hand with a grown man on top of the Kettlebell.

   What's really cool about Saxon, to me, is the simplicity of his approach to strength and health. If you're reading this blog, you should take some time and read Saxon's book The Develpment of Physical Power. You can download it or simply buy  a copy from the Oldtime Strongmen  site. Read it and you'll see why I think most fitness books out today should be trashed!! No fancy equipment. No calorie depleted diets. Most of all no excuses, just hard work and discipline! The book is fully information that could truly change our Physical Culture. Check out this gem from Saxon:

                

                         I shall teach you to judge a man by his capabilities as an athlete, whether a weightlifter, wrestler or not, and not by the measurement of his biceps or chest. ... My idea will be, and always has been, to leave the muscles to look after themselves, but I place a premium upon the possession of untiring energy, great staminal (sic) and vital power, and a sound constitution."

   Lastly, I want to talk about Saxon's greatest lift and my favorite lift of all. The 2 Hands Anyhow. This name was given to this lift because the goal was to get two different weights locked out overhead 'anyhow you can". If you've ever seen this lift than you know why its considered the grandaddy of all lifts. The lift is usally done by jerking a barbell overhead and then bent pressing the barbell. You then would grab a Kettlebell curling it to your waist and pressing it to the shoulder and than overhead. We practice this move at Dynamic Solutions with two Kettlebells instead of the barbell, still its an incredible lift! 

  Here are Saxon's top lifts:

 193 pound 1 arm snatch

 252 pound 1 arm military press (heels together)

 370 pound Bent Press

 448 pound 2 Hands Anyhow

 All are still records to this day!!

   So if you looking to get stronger, leaner, and healthier visit Dynamic Solutions and see how we get it done. The "Oldtime" way!
