Lively story of the nearly mythical Louis Cyr: the very picture of a 19th century strongman, master of the back lift and thick-handled heavy dumbbells.
This is the story of how the sport unfolded on the continent, featuring lifting stars and the national federations within the European Weightlifting Federation.
This book profiles the unique intersection of these expressions of man's talent found in the art contests run in conjunction with the Olympic Games from 1912 to 1948.
