I don't think that I have come to this conclusion simply because I myself have gained some distinction as a weight- lifter, but rather for the reasons set forth below. First of all, why does a man learn to box ? Well, because it is asserted that every man should learn how to defend himself in case of necessity. A good and sufficient reason, you will say. The same may also be put forward as an excuse for learning wrestling and ju-jutsu no doubt, but I am inclined to fancy that the noble art would possibly be more useful than either. As to fencing, club-swinging, etc., I know no reason for their practice except it be that of pleasure or a desire for physical exercise, which said reasons may be equally advanced for Weight-lifting, which it will, I think, be further readily admitted is the most sure and certain means of developing strength —a quality which would be most undeniably useful in any means of self-defence. Now, beside all this, every man in every walk of life is certain, sooner or later, to be confronted with a heavy object, bulky or otherwise, which he strongly desires to lift". - Arthur SaxonThis is an original version, restored and re-formatted edition of Saxon's 1910 classic.

Book excerpt: WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Do you want to lose fat, gain muscle and build the body of your dreams without having to step foot in a gym or on a treadmill? This book has the answer you've been searching for. No matter your age, sex, or conditioning status, this book will help you look and feel your best. And guess what? 10 MINUTES IS ALL YOU NEED & YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE! If you're like most people that have tried fruitless weight lifting or tedious cardio, your body probably feels the negative effects - like aching, painful joints and the inability to lose stubborn fat. Or perhaps you have: Spent years in the gym but struggle to gain muscle, lose belly fat and see real results. When you take your shirt off, it doesn't even look like you workout. • Tried all the fad diets that just leave you hungry, frustrated and not losing any weight. • Seen all the muscular athletes in the gym and wonder what you're doing wrong. • Wandered around the gym feeling defeated and confused about what exercises will help you achieve your dream body. • Suffered through injuries and pain from lifting weights with bad form and engaging in dangerous exercises. Well, we're glad you found this book. In Weight Lifting is a Waste of Time, authors Dr. John Jaquish and Henry Alkire present their scientifically proven approach that debunks myths surrounding traditional weightlifting and fad dieting. Enter the "Tony Stark of the Fitness Industry" John Jaquish, PhD, is well known for inventing what is now considered the most effective bone density building medical technology on the market. This discovery led to his second invention, X3: the world's most powerful muscle building device based on variable resistance. X3 is proven to develop muscle much faster than conventional weight lifting, all with the lowest risk of joint injury. Some of the world's most elite athletes train with X3 Bar, including dozens of Olympians, NFL players, and NBA players. By the end of this book, you'll know and understand clear and simple steps to gain muscle, burn fat, and refuel your body. FINALLY! You can feel confident at the beach and in the mirror —and you can do so at home. With the methods and tools laid out in this book, you can achieve the bigger, leaner and stronger body you've always wanted. Here's a quick sneak peek of what you'll learn: • Everything you've learned about weight training from bodybuilders and influencers is wrong. We'll explain how weightlifting does irreversible damage by overloading joints and underloading muscle. • You don’t need to spend endless hours in the gym to get your dream body. X3 provides the most effective at-home workout, no matter your age or sex. • You can grow muscle 3 times faster with the X3 workout system without taking harmful supplements or going to the gym.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am a weight lifter. I like weight lifting and weight lifters. Training with and the lifting of weights, which to me was at first a pleasurable form of exercise, an outlet for the competitive instinct all real men possess, a means of keeping fit in the shortest possible time, has become my life's work. Once it was said, "All that I am and all that I hope to be, I owe to my mother." I revere my mother more with each passing year, as my appreciation grows for the physical normalcy with which she endowed me. I have reached a point in my life where my age is nearly 41, but I feel younger than I did at twenty. I have such pep and energy, such boundless endurance, that life is really a pleasure. No wonder I feel that I owe what I am today to weight lifting. I echo the appreciation of many thousands of men and women who have built their bodies from physical in- feriority to perfection, or near perfection, through weight training, who say, "The physical superiority I enjoy to the fullest measure today I owe to weight training." -Bob Hoffman This is an original version, restored and re-formatted edition of Hoffman's 1939 classic.
