Physical Full, Harmonious Life Results From Training By JERRY Chief Instructor, Provincial come to seek for the earliest re—- cords-of conscously planned, ‘“pro- gressive’ body building, we find mone until the folden era of the Greeks and Romans. Then woe great Homer tells us of a fsymnas- tic training that consisted of jump- ing and springing with weights, and this, we believe, is the first lit- eraty mention of the highly sys- tematic physical activity which we know teday-as weight-liftins. it is very probable that the Chin- ese and the Japanese used a sys- tem of barbell training two or three thousand years ago, for we know that they had a well-rounded system of exercises and massage €ven then, but it is only in the last thousand years that we are sure they also employed a crude barbell, made of huge stones with holes for handles. din i782, however, physical train- ing with apparatus took a great step forward through the teaching and writings of John Paug. In that year he published “A physiological, theoretical and practical treatise On the utility of muscular exercise for restoring the power of the limbs." Some of the exercises of- fered were with dumbells which first were heard of in the early 1600's. Following the great flow of Eur- opean emigrants to America in the middle of the last century, “turn- vereins” and gymnastic clubs were introduced on this continent through the work of Dio TLewis, and later Dr. Sargent. It was then that weights and other symnastic apparatus came into prominent use. Since the inclusion of weight— lifting in the Oympic Games, sci- entific studies have been made or. this form of physical training. + * £ £ 4 Dee relate the numerous feats of Strength performed by such famous men as the Saxon brothers, Hackensmith, Sandow, Louis Gyr, the Canadian, and many others would take much too longs.

Bravado, of course, wasnt the only reason for these deéds. Often they could be put to the well-known “survival of the fittest” argument, so full of meaning io the ancient world.

It is well to be able to lift ex treme weights over one’s head, but more important still is the sane and systematic Gevezopment of the body as a whole for strength and health. Adjustable barbells and dumbells are, in this writer’s opinion, the most perfect medium through which such systematie training is possible, not only because each in- dividual can start to train with weights suitable to his ability, but also because he has certain parts Or muscle groups which require more training than others to shape & symmetrically beautiful body.

There is, In other words, no excuse for going around “half alive,’ feeling grouchy and tired .and worn out, unpleasant, when there are so many means and opportunities of vitalizing your health ! A lot of superstitions still sur- round weightlifting or barbell training; but, like all superstitions, they are fading away in the face of oncoming knowledge. = * = = 4 hace sport is mostly condemned by those who know little or nothing: about it. They will tell you, for in- stance, that weightlifting makes a many heavy and slow of movement. Wothing is farther from the truth. Some of the fastest tumblers whom it has been my pleasure to see, have been barbell trained. Some of the best track and field men have built their strength, speed, and en- durance with adjustable weigntlift— ing equipment, while boxers, swim- mers and athletes in all lines of sport the world over train with weights to improve their perform- ances. Amother thing: weightlifters are never monly thought. On the contrary, because their muscles are extended to the limit and contracted as far as they will go, they become un- usually loose and flexible. Personally, the writer considers weightlifting one of the finest means of training for strength, speed and stamina—the three ‘“'s’s” which spell vital health. Weightlift— ing, admittedly, is not an end in itself, but it is a powerful aid in practical physical education. Its objectives are many: the accom- plishment of skills along various lines; the feeling that your body has neither been neglected nor squandered; the opening of the mind to the heights of bodily grace, health, beauty, which is within the reach of all of us. Above all, the aim of weightlift- ing is the greatest aim on earth— that of living a full and harmoni- ous life.
