Description
Bill Pullum's remarkable journey to weightlifting greatness began in 1904 when he became interested in physical culture after meeting the Slade brothers. At the time, Pullum was struggling with pulmonary tuberculosis, but through his new interest, he made a remarkable recovery. Pullum's goal was to prove that science could be applied to lifting heavy weights, and he succeeded in revolutionizing the sport in England. He remained at the top for years, setting multiple records and winning numerous championships, including 15 British amateur titles and 53 gold medals. His achievements stood the test of time, with some of his records still standing today. As a coach and trainer, Pullum is widely renowned in England, and his legacy continues to inspire those who take up weightlifting. This book offers a fascinating look at Pullum's life and career, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of weightlifting.
