Seven Years in Tibet
Strongman Secrets Revealed
As a youth I was weak, clumsy and slender like Eugen Sandow, I aspired to be stronger, in my teen years I weight lifted every day. By the time I was a senior in high school, I had quite a build, swimming a mile a day, weight lifting after school in the gym. I felt great, my coordination became much improved. I was inspired by adventure books I read, two to three books simultaneously.
I became fascinated with eastern writings, anything Chinese or Japanese. This lead to a research in Chinese energy systems, meditation, chi energy and healing exercises.
For seven years I studied Tibet and Chinese energy exercises.
I realized my legs and arms really got a work out, and became incredibly strong. I was not doing the exercise for strength, but to gain immense electrical energy, the magnetic fields would at times press so hard it felt like my bones would break. I found a meditation that would actually increase bone density, the same effect weightlifting does!
I wrote two books on the subject - “Internal Energy Training System” and “Authentic Sun Gazing”.
Surprisingly this led to the study of the strongmen of the 1880’s to 1920’s. The strongmen were able to do things that was physically impossible. In a era with out TV people would pay to see amazing feats of strength that shocked the public.
When I saw what the strongmen did, it all clicked in place! I understood what they were doing, by the types of exercises, their meditation and they talked about gathering energy and storing it!
Samples of strongman stunts:
Crushing grip strength
Tear a Telephone Book in Halves
Tear a Deck of Cards in Halves
Lifting tremendous weights
One arm dumbbell lifts, 350 pounds +
Heavy barbell over head press
Drive a Spike Through a Board or Sheet of Metal
Lift a Man Overhead with One Hand
Smash a Rock with the Blow of a Fist
Lift More with One Finger than Others with Two Hands
Bend a Heavy Steel Spike with the Hands
Bending steel, called scroll work
Bending horse shoes
Breaking chains around their chest or biceps
Lifting or carrying a horse
Undefeated in wrestling matches
Bite through chains
I was intrigued, I wished I could learn to do this? Do you? Stay tuned.
