Eugen Sandow is one of the most prolific figures in the history of strength sports. Born in 1867, he arguably made more of an impact on strength and physical culture than any other during the late 19th and early 20th Century. Appearing on stage, in newspapers, writing books, creating products, publishing strength routines and overlapping into the medical world, Sandow is a unique and respected pioneer of strength.
David Chapman is the foremost historian on the life Eugen Sandow, having written the leading book on Sandow: 'Sandow the Magnificent: Eugen Sandow and the Beginnings of Bodybuilding', in 1994. This 13 year project revealed aspects of Sandow's life previously not researched and in this exciting podcast episode, Chapman reveals further findings on the magnificent man.
You can find Chapmans book at all good book retailers and he is excited to announce his 2 new projects: Muscles in the Movies, which is currently available and The Kings of Strength (a translation of Edmond Desbonnet's great literary feat on early strongmen) which will be published later this year.
