"All About Strand-Pulling by Syd Devis"
- The Classic Training Course -
I've seen a lot of strength training courses over the years...Understand, many early strength courses
were self-published in very low numbers and not many of them survived. Fortunately someone thought
enough of some of them to save a few copies so that future generations could enjoy them.
There was one course, however, that I heard about for years that no one had even seen, let
alone owned. It was kind of like the lost city of Atlantis or Bigfoot - there were sightings every once in
a while, little bits and pieces of information that popped up every now and then, but a copy of this course
never quite materialized.
The training course that I am talking about is "All About Strand-Pulling" by Syd Devis, and after spending
years trying to track it down, I FINALLY FOUND A COPY!
...It was well worth the wait.
I have always been a big fan of chest expanders, strand-pulling, strongman
cables - whatever you want to call them - they are very effective. In fact, the list of famous strongmen who liked to
train with them is quite extensive: Eugen Sandow, Alfred Danks, Professor Attila, Edward Aston,
the Mighty Atom, Thomas Inch, Fred Rollon, Saxon Brown, Earle Liederman, John Grimek,
Sig Klein, and Reg Park just to name a few.
Needless to say you would be in good company when including chest expanders in
your training.

Anyhow, as for Syd Devis, back in the 1920s he was a champion in the sport of "Strand-Pulling"
- 20 official pulls, which they used to keep records for...and his "All About Strand-Pulling"
was his own training course outlining how one could use expanders to become super strong.
A Great Course - Reborn for the NEW Millenium!
I was glad to finally get my hands on a copy of "All About Strand-Pulling" and as I mentioned, it was definitely
worth the effort to get it. Over the years and especially since we started selling chest expanders, many people
contacted us looking for a copy of the famous Syd Devis course.
This got the wheels turning...
I decided to reprint the course for others to learn from just as I had. Thing is, the original course
was informative but a bit "plain"...for the new edition I decided to mix things up a bit and make a great course even
better.
We kept all of Syd Devis's words intact but did a complete overhaul of every other aspect of the course. We
re-scanned and enlarged every image...laid out each table differently...re-worked the table of contents...
re-designed the page numbers and overall look and feel...
We even upgraded the paper itself, meeting with our printer regularly to go over
paper and cover stock options. In each case we went with the highest quality options available and
when we got them back from the printer, the result turned out even better than expected.
Now you too can own your own copy of this great course!
