Read an Excerpt

In his day Eugen Sandow was known as "the Strongest Man on Earth." He could break metal chains by expanding his broad chest. He could hoist a grand piano over his head. He boasted that he once wrestled a five-hundred-pound lion. No doubt Eugen Sandow was hte strongest of all strongmen. But he wasn't always strong.
