| Publisher Description: From the Foreword by Frank Spellman, Olympic Middleweight Champion: "This book contains one of the most enlightening physical educating systems that will be your pleasure to read, practice, and enjoy. Carl has gone more thoroughly into the preliminary reasons for using weights and their results than has the author of any other book on weightlifting I have read. Many months and years of experimentation and coordinated college and American Athletic Union competitions have given Carl an insight as to what can be expected with the application of weights. |
