Thank you for
coming to my Oldtime Strongman Training and Physical Culture
website. Before you go any further, I have one question for
you:
"How would you like to be able to do the
impossible?"
... Or at least
strength feats that most people think are
impossible - like tearing a phone book or deck of cards in half or
twisting a horseshoe into a pretzel, or lifting more weight with one arm
than most people can with two...
A hundred years ago, the Oldtime Strongmen could do those feats
easily...and they established strength records that have yet to
be duplicated, all a century or more before fancy equipment,
miracle supplements, and modern technology. I'm no mind reader but I'll bet I know exactly what is going
through your head at this very moment:
"How did they do it?...and more
importantly, if you knew what they knew and trained like they
trained, could you become just as
strong?"
After studying how the Oldtime Strongmen trained, their
unusual equipment, their unique methods and anything else I could
get my hands on, I can say YES, it is undoubtedly possible for
you to build the type of strength they had to perform amazing
feats.
I know you wouldn't have read this far if you didn't
think so too.
That is one reason why I established this website: to keep many
of these "old ways" alive and to pass them on to future
generations. And because strength training is one of the very
best things you can do for yourself, why not do it right and have a heck of a lot of fun too? (continued below)

Why You'll Have to Step Into The Time
Machine
if You Want to Build Super Strength
I'll cut right to the chase: I don't really know how it
happened but modern strength training has become
BO-ring.
These days, what is thought of as a "cutting-edge" gym
has plenty of mirrors, chrome, and ferns...all useless. What
happened to the passion...the attitude...the enthusiasm, and
the Soul of strength training?
It doesn't have to be this way...It shouldn't be this
way...It won't be this way....
The world of strength training has a long and glorious past - and
we're bringing it back. Step into our time machine and go
back to the place where strength was King.
The Unique Training Methods That
Transform
98-Pound Weaklings Into Supermen
What I'm talking about are the exact training methods that
transformed 98 lb. weaklings into Supermen. With our
vintage training courses, you can hear, right from
some of the strongest men who ever lived, exactly how they
trained. Get some of our
Oldtime and unusual equipment to build
unusual strength.

You see, I feel that strength training is not just something you
"do," but a way of life. If "Real
Strength" is your thing, this is the place
where you will learn more about it than anywhere else.
The secrets of the Strongmen of ages past will live on through
you.
I'm Looking for Information About..." - that's how a lot of the e-mails that we
receive start off. No surprises there, the world of strength training is vast and there are a lot of
interesting things to learn.
So, to help you find what you may be searching for - or to point you
toward something new that you may not have even realized existed - we put together a
resource page which provides the topics covered in detail in our books and DVDs.
If you wanted to know, for example, which books feature information on tendon and ligament training or where you
can find the details of the 20-rep squat workout, our training topics
page can give you this information quickly and easily. To see it for yourself, please click any of the links or the image above.

Oldtime Strongman Blog Posts and Points of Interest:
Whether this is your first time here or you come back every single day you'll definitely find
some things you'll like. Here are a few good places to get you started:
Lost Strength Secrets - Revealed!
Some people say there are no "secrets," they say that
phenomenal strength feats are just a matter of hard work and
dedication...
If that were correct, the ability to perform Super Human
Strength feats would be a common thing... but that is obviously
not the case.
Do you know even the first place to begin if you wanted to learn
how to correctly perform the bent press?
How about the right sized nail to drive a nail
through a 2-inch thick board with nothing but your bare
hand?
How about the finer points of heavy
power rack work, partials, sandbag
training, thick
handled barbells and dumbbells,
rope climbing, the one-arm snatch, the
two-hands anyhow, the bridge press, phone book tearing, barrel
lifting, or the Human Link...
If you want to accomplish these amazing feats and many more like
them, it will require specialized training knowledge - knowledge
that can't be found just anywhere...but it can be found
here.
Be sure to sign up for our daily e-mail Strength Tips in the box
below. It will be loaded with plenty of great Old Time training
information, classic articles, and more. We also have plenty
more surprises in store, so join up today so you don't miss
out!
Train hard,
John Wood
