I really enjoy reading about the oldtime strongmen and so I did a series of posts in which I reviewed the material that has been published to the internet by other dedicated fans.
The two main sites on the internet where most material has been archived are Sandow Plus and Maxalding. If you’d like a taster of the oldtime strongmen without diving headlong into those site, however, then check out some of the following articles:
- Eugen Sandow
- Apollon, Otto Arco, Edward Aston, Don Athaldo and Charles Atlas
- William Bankier Apollo, Sanford Bennett, Joe Bonomo, Zishe “Seigmund” Breitbart and H Broom
- Martin “Farmer” Burns, Ottley C Coulter, Louis Cyr, Alfred Danks and Don Dorans
- James Evans, Herman Goerner, The Good Brothers, George Hackenschmidt and Bob Hoffman
- Thomas Inch, Prof. K V Iyer, George F Jowett, Siegmund Klein and Earle Liederman
- Bernarr MacFadden, Antone Matysek, Staff Sergeant Alfred Moss, Lieutenant J P Muller and Adolph Nordquest
- Bobby Pandour, Harry B Paschall, W A Pullum, Tony Sansone, Arthur Saxon and T W Standwell
- Lionel Strongfort, Alois P Swoboda, Frederick Tilney, Al Treloar, George Walsh and Alexander Zass
- Max Sick (Maxick) and Monte Saldo
- David Gentle: physical culture legend
