"World Champion Wrestler and Record Setting Strongman Tells All..."
Dear Friend,
George Hackenschmidt has the unique distinction of being one of the first well known physique stars, as well as a Champion Wrestler
and strongman.
His first bout against Frank Gotch in 1908 is widely regarded as the greatest professional wrestling match of all time.
Later that same year, Hackenschmidt published The Way to Live which was part
autobiography, and part training course. 21 editions later, this book was considered the largest selling book on
physical culture ever written!
In it, "Hack" covers a wide range of topics, including:
How he lived, his method of exercise, nutrition, bathing, sleep, etc.,
with a complete course in barbell and dumbbell training. He tells the story of his life,
his early days under the guidance of Dr. von Krajewski, physician to the Czar of Russia,
and Dr. Theodore Siebert, the famous German weight lifting pioneer. He relates tales of
his wrestling bouts with; Zbysco, Lurich, Jenkins, Farmer Burns, Gotch, etc.
