The Key to Might and Muscle
by George F. Jowett
Author of “The Jowett Institute Course”
While working as editor for “Strength” magazine back in 1926, Jowett decided to write a book on all he learned from the oldtimers and put into practice himself.
He set out to put down on paper stories and methods that would help anyone build tremendous strength through weightlifting.
At the time, he didn’t realize how much he knew.
When the book was finished and set in type, it covered nearly 300 pages!!!
At the time, this was the longest book ever written on weightlifting and strongmen!
Today, it is considered by most, to be the classic book on weightlifting and the author’s crowning achievement.
Make no mistake, even in the 70’s, this was a very rare book and extremely difficult to come by.
This was due to two reasons:
First, it was enormously popular with everybody and anybody who lifted weights at the time.
Secondly, there was only one edition ever printed: available in either autographed leather bound or cloth bound.
That was it!
A dispute between Jowett and the editor of “Strength” magazine prevented any further editions from ever coming to be!
After searching for 12 years I finally located a copy of this book.
That was how rare this book was, even 35 years ago!
It is, beyond a doubt, one of my favorite books and will be yours too!
