"Now, beside all this, every man in every walk of life is certain, sooner or later, to be confronted with a heavy object, bulky or otherwise, which he strongly desires to lift. This may occur both in his business and in his private life, and I am willing to bet that each and every man on such an occasion entertains a certain amount of regret for the wasted hours which he might have advantageously devoted to practise with weights."
-Arthur Saxon "Textbook of Weightlifting" 1910
