Dr. Vladislav Von KrajewskiDr. Vladislav Von Krajewski was one of the leading physicians of the day and the founder of the St. Petersburg Athletic and Cycling Club. The good doctor's interest in physical training was as a method of securing and preserving health, strength, activity and vigor (both mental and physical).
He created a system of training around these goals, and it was the reason behind the success of many of the strongest men who ever lived.
Some of Dr. Von Krajewski's most famous pupils included George Hackenschmidt, George Lurich, and Ivan Poddubny. You can take a rare look into Dr. Krajewski's weight room right here.
