  • The York Hand Balancing Course


    • It took a couple years but I finally tracked down an extremely rare copy of the York Hand Balancing Course. It was well worth the wait, you wouldn't believe what's in there.

    I believe that it was written by Bob Jones. We may actually reprint the York Hand Balancing Course at some point in the near future.

  • The York Hand Balancing Course

    • The York Hand Balancing CourseThe York Hand Balancing CourseThe name York Barbell is synonymous with freeweights -- barbells, dumbbells and the like, but they were all about "Strength" in all its many forms.

    Hand Balancing was, of course, a very popular method of training even with the typical "barbell" man. Articles with hand balancing techniques regularly appeared in Strength and Health Magazine. And, as many past champions demonstrated, hand balancing was a good method for improving one's barbell overhead press.

    An advertisement for the York Hand Balancing course is shown at the left.
