better read than sandows? In this book you basically only see the pictures and the exercise description. In Sandows book you can actually read something.
Been doing David Bolton's W.A.T.C.H protocol (From the book "Lost Secrer To A Great Body") with 1kg Dumbbell for over 7 months of doing all 28 exercises (24 main exercises & including the optional exercises) & I have to say it has been a really effective routine for my muscular development. Feeling and looking defined, with only doing 1kg dumbbell, I'm going to soon use a 2kg dumbbell & can't wait to see my results from it. I find his books give a clearer explanation on how to do the exercises near to Professor Attila's routine & I'd recommend heavily to get Lost Secrer To A Great Body.
It's fascinating to learn about the origins of weight lifting and bodybuilding through the various eras. You can clearly see the evolution of bodybuilding through the athletes of each era.
Interesting to see what looks like a safety bicycle tucked in to the left in Atillas studio. Somewhere I have also read that Sandow was fond of riding a bicycle over walking for some sort of cardio/endurance training but unfortunately I did not take a note of where I found it.
You're putting out a lot of great content lately, and I'm glad I subscribed. I find the videos interesting from a historical perspective, and I'm also quite intrigued by the light dumbbell system as you explained and presented it in the other video on Sandow. I might have to pick this book up from you and give the system a shot in addition to my normal training. If nothing else then it should probably at least be great for increased blood flow and recovery from heavy lifting. Are you going to make a video on the 27 exercises as presented by Attila? The 17 exercises Sandow presented looked to be very focused on the upper body, with not much for the lower body.
I've been doing that type of training for a couple years now and have gotten great results from it. I'm more muscular now than I was when I was just lifting weights. Its basically dynamic tension while holding light weights. I like to visualize I'm lifting much heavier weights while keeping constant tension on the muscles being worked. It definitely works. You get a hell if a pump too.
@@johnaugustin5447I tried it but I think you have to perform it in a fast rapid manner also placing constant tension at the muscle. Kind of like the SUPERSPEED Technique taught by Leroy Colbert ?
I get excited when I see one of your new videos I have vague knowledge of the past , you just blown me away with your knowledge Wish you would get more viewers as there's so much history lost out there now date of weight training Keep up the good work
How about doing a video of his mentor Felice Napoli? You should also do one on Sigmund Klein, he was Professor Attila's pupil, son in law but also a heavy influence on Arnold Schwartzeneger.
Felice Napoli . .to think even Atilla himself had a bit of a mentor also. Incredible. True trivia right here. I also never knew he was German born. To trace back one mentor after another would be a true challenge and interesting discovery. It would be awesome to find the original location of Atillas gym in New York somewhere....
Felice Napoli DoD have a mentor too, forgot his name....but I was thinking of doing a video tracing back the use of the dumbbell. I know the earliest book on the subject goes back 500 years!!
I would love to build a replica of one of those old gyms! Gotta have the half moon bench included! How has thw bench you bought been working? Thanks for the great content!
It's ok, but for very light weights. I might invest in a sturdier one in the near future. Funny you mentioned that about an.old gym. I am looking at creating one, and perhaps do new videos in it demonstrating all of the old exercises used in the strongman era, been purchasing equipment from the late 1800s
Thanks for theses bodybuilding history lessons do you by any chance have some more for Bob Gajda, Ivan Djirlic, Jeff King, Jorma Raty or similar forgotten names in history of sport?
That was freakin' awesome. I often wondered about Attila. Wow, his gym was handed to Klein? I gotta go to the address, just to say I was in the area. I'm kinda hesitant to see what's there now, though. Thanks brother!
Can you do a video on Bolton's Book? That's what got me interested in this. The old ways are the best. Maybe have a video with demonstrations of the exercises?
what about that milo of cratos guy (dunno if i spelled that right or even got the right name) he was supposed to have lifted a bull calf everyday & carry it around - eventually he could lift a bull on his shoulders the story says , did it to improve his wrestling
Thank you for this great informative video. What would be the best book(s) to get to start training this light dumbbell system. As detailed instructions as possible would be appreciated! :)
Just found his exercise booklet and it has a very interesting exercise selection! I'll be trialling it for 3 months I think. Curious to see where it goes!!
@@raphnarok very unexpected results. A dast mass gain plateaued fast. But the most interesting thing is that the muscle connection becomes unreal and everything else that you do as training gets way better. You feel muscles wayore, you can manipulate the exact same exercise to bias one or another muscle. Example: bench press is felt jn shoulder, triceps or pecs. When you do this protocol you can literally decide where to focus the lift at will. You learn also to contract the muscles with subpar weight making basically every weight suitable for being challenging. In my opinion is a 2 or 3 months course any person should do.
how about frequency how often is this done? just as the other full body workouts 3 times a week ? or can I even do this workout in my "in between" days as a pumping and helping to regenerate?
Hey man love the content as always and especially interested in everything Victorian era. I remember you commenting on where you find old and vintage things online like Sandow Dumbbells, what was the website again? Thanks and great video!
@@Gloomshadow100 not how it works. Light for muscle mass and symmetry. Heavy for definition and getting stronger. Post physique before you talk smack bud.
I would have to say the man who was the last guy to train George Hackenschmidt, Dr Von Krajewski is the true Father of Bodybuilding,because as Hack said it was the system which he first organized that such people as Sandow,Saxon,etc developed their powers
He is probably the other person I would also have given the title to...but I'm more inclined to think that he was the father of weightlifting as opposed to bodybuilding, Attila taught the light dumbbell bodybuilding system, the other guy taught weightlifting if I am correct, and a Kettlebell master
Carlos, you should reach out to Mia Finnegan (The first Ms. Fitness Olympia). She is the great great grand daughter of Professor Attila and Is also related to Sig Klein. Shawn Ray just interviewed her where they discuss it at the 3 min 50 sec mark th-cam.com/video/YXqfGCNfVhk/w-d-xo.html. Love your content btw.
His book is actually a better read than Sandow's.
I have the original, it's AWESOME. And the scan is available on my website
Yes

@fotojak In which Sandow's book are you referring to?
Golden Era Bookworm You mean this one? exerciseeggheads.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/profattilasfivep00atti.pdf
Senza nulla togliere ad Attila, credo che il primo in assoluto fu Felice Napoli. Grazie per i tuoi video sempre interessanti.
Boxing champ Corbet you mentioned, but I also saw where Jack Johnson, also a Heavyweight champ, used the 5lb dumbell system!

This video is the best 👏 You are the same of Arnold... is numero uno 👍
Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 🙌 ❤ 🙏 💕 😊!
Brilliant video lecture lad; I enjoyed it immensely. Kudos! 🧐🤔👊👍
Very nice video thank you so much for share.

Excellent video.(By the way the club in the portrait is to make him look like Hercules as it was an attribute of the muscular Greek hero).
Great video! Attila learned from Hyppolite Triat, a precursor and a genius.
The club Prof. Attila is holding in the painting is supposed to be like Hercules' club. Many images and sculptures of Hercules have him with his club.

Keep up the good work
Really very good content,keep making.
I will
I am searching this kind of videos for long. Thanks for educating brother
I really enjoyed watching this!!!
thanks
Wow, Absolutely amazing!
How about doing a video of his mentor Felice Napoli?
You should also do one on Sigmund Klein, he was Professor Attila's pupil, son in law but also a heavy influence on Arnold Schwartzeneger.
He came from Karlsruhe, near my Hometown Mannheim. Great! :-)
Sandow war ja auch halb Deutscher. Ihr habt echt Kraft💪😄🇩🇪
Felice Napoli . .to think even Atilla himself had a bit of a mentor also. Incredible.
True trivia right here.
I also never knew he was German born.

It was inherited by Sigmund Klein, but not sure what happened after. I can find out, I know someone who knew Sig Klein

@@GoldenEraBookworm yeah a coverage of that would be ace !
@@GoldenEraBookworm usage of DB's as far back as 500 years . .incredible. That would be true ancient history
@@endurance8910 I believe it. They were a rather advanced civilization after all ;)
Excellent video! I know less about professor Attila than about other strong men. Mostly just brief mentions of him by Klein and others.
Hope you got something from this
@@GoldenEraBookworm Sure did! Thank you very much for always educating wherever possible. 👍
I have the leopard outfit and club I think it’s a good start !

I hope to do a demo in the future
I could do a quick review on Boltons book
@@GoldenEraBookworm Bolton's Book does the historical research and described systems going back thousands of years.

@@alainjackson5412 I know I read it
Thank you for this great informative video. What would be the best book(s) to get to start training this light dumbbell system. As detailed instructions as possible would be appreciated! :)
So I have to ask, which light dumbbell routine Attila’s or Sandow’s?
Farnese Hercules is my favorite piece of classical art.
Just found his exercise booklet and it has a very interesting exercise selection! I'll be trialling it for 3 months I think. Curious to see where it goes!!
How did it go?

Heavyweight boxing champion was James J Corbett, not James C Corbett.
What are your thoughts on suma root?
Do you have magazine of articles of K.V Iyer
Would have to check
I'll probably used that outfit in wrestling
Hey man love the content as always and especially interested in everything Victorian era. I remember you commenting on where you find old and vintage things online like Sandow Dumbbells, what was the website again? Thanks and great video!
The 5Lb dumbbell workout, yet his gym is full of really heavy globe barbells and dumbbells?
5lb dumbbells were for regular weak.people.. Bodybuilders used HEAVY WEIGTHS ahhaahah
its one thing to build muscles and another thing to display your strength...but heavier weights are very important also
would it be that light dumbells were for body comp and that the heavy ones were for mastering strength?
@@Gloomshadow100 not how it works. Light for muscle mass and symmetry. Heavy for definition and getting stronger. Post physique before you talk smack bud.

" professor Attila " was repeated 30 times in 15 min, average 2 times per minute. :)
