Scientific Weight Lifting

by Thomas Inch

The First Official "Britain's Strongest Man"!

To promote weightlifting in Great Britain, and market the tools of his strongman trade, in 1905, Thomas Inch published Scientific Weight Lifting.

This, the first of his many books, became an overnight best seller with sales well over 40,000 copies!

In this book, Inch reveals, for the first time, many of the secrets of how he developed his unbeatable strength which he used on stage while traveling the music hall circuit.

His association with many of the oldtime strong men and challengers put him in a position to learn a great deal about, not only building muscle, but using the arms, legs and back to their best mechanical advantage while lifting heavy weight.

In addition, while simple and direct, Inch answers many of the questions young lifters had at a time when “weight-lifting” was thought to cause everything from flat feet to a weakened heart.
