Old Time Strength Feats

September 24, 2011 By Gregor Winter

As Ross pointed out:

“You will also see that while training has evolved to an extent, much of what appears to be new is not.  Often times, new ideas are nothing more than recycled ideas from the past.  Furthermore, truly new ideas and methods are not necessarily improvements from the past.  There is plenty to learn from those who came before us.  This is particularly true when you consider the strength feats that were performed long before the rise of performance enhancing drugs and supplements.”
