Fantastic series of documentaries, thanks to Rouge and the team for making these.

[@robertper4102]

You guys are killing it with the documentaries. Love this stuff. Thanks for producing them.

[@kmofighter1]

I can't wait for the rest of this series.

[@goldo1107]

Very inspiring. I wonder why his wife hated him so much that she wouldn't even allow for his resting place to be marked in any way. So very sad. I'm glad it was finally done. Nobody is perfect and I don't what what his mistakes were, but we do know all the good and great things he did and that alone is well enough reason for him to be remembered by everyone who would know.

[@slowburner1]

This is great. The production value ie over the moon.

[@fightclub_tutal]

we need a new sandow. With no steroids just pure nature strength

[@saulcruz9024]

These documentaries are amazing . Thank you

[@ralphc1405]

Incredible history behind of him and these times...Arthur Saxon next one PLEASE!!!

[@HalifaxHercules]

Rogue Legends Series should do some episodes on Special Olympics Powerlifting Legends like PG Griffin (USA), Jackie Barrett (Canada), Louis Maxwell (USA), Andy Leonard (USA), Zan Chen (China), Frances Skiftesvik (Great Britain/Scotland), and Amal Zeynalova (Azerbaijan). Jackie Barrett would be a great feature as he's the first Special Olympian from outside USA to Deadlift over 600 lbs. and Squat over 600 lbs., first to Deadlift over 300 KGs. He has set not only Special Olympics Canada, Special Olympics World, and Special Olympics World Games records, but also Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador non Special Olympics records in all three IPF defined age groups (Junior, Open, and Masters).

El creador de la verdadera muestra en escena de un hombre natural, de un hombre que su único objetivo fue ser aquel cuerpo musculado al detalle que de niño vio en las estatuas y se maravilló! Gracias por ser un gran promotor de la salud fisica! 🕊️🙏

[@simonwilliams6140]

Thank you for posting this, I had no idea this guy really existed! His book is mentioned several times in Joyce’s Ulysses (Bloom keeps meaning to get back to doing the exercises) and it’s so interesting to find out about the actual author.

[@twistedtrailerparktales2126]

These are fantastic. I've always been a fan of bronze age physical culture and its awesome to see such a big name fitness company paying tribute to these forgotten legends. Thank you.

[@oldnatty61]

Thank you Terry and Todd! I so fear this has been lost.

[@FitnessTrendzFL]

What a great job. I love history about our industry.

[@josebarberena362]

Great doc inspiring what a terrible shame to have died like that but thankful we all know who this extraordinary man was. Like to think he could see from wherever he is the effect his existence left in our past present and future

This is a legend!

[@paysonfox88]

Eugen Sandow was called out by Louis Cyr when he called himself the strongest man on earth. Sandow stopped referring to himself as the WSM after Cyr to offense to it and challenged him in public. However, Sandow was the first of the old guys I've ever seen who had a body builder type of physique

[@oepolish]

I love this documentary. My theories concerning his death, could've been due to a stroke or brain aneurysm. I say that due to him being older yet still trying to go as hard as he did in his youth.

[@IGeorge94]

It's sad that you guys don't bring up the Light Dumbbell System, as what a lot of Strongman did at the time, taught by Professor Attila. It's really an interesting exercise routine to help build muscle, with it being better by adding heavy weight lifting afterwards as a supplement to the Light Dumbbell system.

[@trosclair434genus4]

I just heard the part where he criticized the light dumbbell system. Very very disappointing to hear it on a documentary of this sort. I wish as well that they had really done the research into what exactly the light dumbell system was, and how effective it could be as providing a solid foundation for anyone getting in the strongman. I myself and my wife we’re doing the light dumbbell system now, and we’re very surprised almost daily How beneficial it has been to the quality of life and improvements in our daily motions

[@LionMillcomics]

Thanks for letting me know why he had a horse in his act. I didn't realize until you told me.

[@callumbeardshaw]

One of the best videos I've ever watched

[@evanlonergan5202]

Incredible! Thank you for making this.

[@timgoullet4993]

wonderful insights into the training and the man himself.

[@oepolish]

No doubt that he would've tried to lift the stone that currently marks his resting place.

Thank you Rogue, such a well put together piece, really captures who Sandow was.

[@govdave007]

I would appreciate a video like this on Steve Reeves.

[@SIMPLEXSTRONG]

Excellent project! Old-school is the best school, than you!

[@peterf7821]

Great video. I've got to say that some of the folk in it didn't seem to understand how to perform exercises with light bells though. To quote Sandow's system of physical training- the mind should be put in to the work... there must be a concentration of will power... the dumbells must not be held passively but as a potentiality to be strenuously and activity exerted... alternatively contracted and relaxed. End quote. Each exercise is performed to momentary muscular failure. His spring grip dumbells teach you how to tense the muscles being worked. I don't believe that they were a scam. I've used David Bolton's modern book on light dumbell exercises and it's great. I didn't get the results I'd hoped for, but couldn't exercise as much as I'd hoped. The routine is a more balanced than Sandow's IMHO.

[@staurosnordeste]

great!

[@gigivienne]

Hey, I noticed an error in the subtitles. The Belgian women is speaking about "Anvers" => Antwerp and not about "Versailles" :-)

[@markjoefer]

💖💖💖 💗💗 🤠 🤠 I am hoping to show my transformation soon!

[@actionfigurescollectionssu7854]

Now that’s the real strong 💪🏻 man bodybuilder right there Sandow is the real deal and he’s natural those other strong 💪🏻 men are natural too and they are the real deal too, not like today’s Sports everybody is on steroids 💉💊 It’s sad nobody wants to natural anymore.

[@OLDSCHOOLGYMMOLDSCHOOLGYMM]

amazing abdominal muscles, remember there were no steroids

[@offmarketinvestments9770]

Edward Aston was only 77kg....but very strong. I liked the German guy as well....GERNER....very impressive strength Hackersmitt (may have spelt wrong) All pretty similiar..maybe some excelled in certain weights/lifts.....very impressive.

[@herewardthewake2636]

Hackenschmidt.

[@60tbird1]

This documentary omits a significant event in history when he visited a Sandwina event where he challenged her to a single-arm lift where she out lifted him with a 300 pound dumb bell which he could only raise to his shoulders.

[@seraphx26]

That is very likely mythological in nature, Sandwina was a strong woman no doubt about it but I don't believe for a second she could outlift Sandow.

[@MikeRochac]

The screen ratio is weird... Looks as if there are always part of the images that were cut off.

[@egodominustuus9167]

How could you do a documentary about Sandow without mentioning the Sandow Trophy?! The greatest impact Sandow's legacy has had over the last 60 years was that he was an inspiration for Joe Weider - without whom the modern fitness industry wouldn't anything near what it is today. You even mention Arnold in the doc without mentioning that the foundation of everything that Arnold was able to accomplish rests upon the first six times he was able to win that trophy. What are you going to do for a followup, a documentary about Louis Cyr without mentioning the Cyr Stone?!

[@Christianlvm22]

totally agree

[@lonew2657]

The physical inspiration for superman.

[@anotherdayanotherdeadlift]

I love modern strongman, but there' something absolutely stunning in those early century muscular mustache men. Strong as horses but with the body harmony of greek statues. Something that should be the pinnacle of body ambition for the modern average man

[@blackbird5634]

To be fair, I grew up in rural America and there were lots of kids whose physiques were entirely genetic. They were faster runners, stronger lifters and all around better modeled human beings than the rest. Many of them ate anything they wanted but gained no fat, they smoked cigarettes and ran track and played football. Also, they were up at 4 AM milking cows, playing football or running track after school and some wrestled to state championships. On weekends the town kids who worked for their dads doing construction or pouring concrete could beat the dickens out of anyone who stayed in the gym lifting weights. There was NO CONTEST comparing the kids who were simply born well muscled and fit, and the rest of us, myself included, who tried all the latest shakes, and diets, and lifted weights. *it is worth noting that the really strong, fast, fit boys were always less than 6ft tall.

[@Jthevenet631]

The english subtitles for the french part are a little bit weird, Anvers does not translate in Versailles, it's two different cities and not even in the same country.

[@drustories9857]

Arthur Saxon next please!

[@cristiannaranjo7080]

awesome ¡¡¡¡

[@TheRapuchopin]

Is there any other site where I can watch this documentary?While at KZbin video stops after 11 minute mark and all I see is black screen (tried watching on few devices with same effect)

[@AjitSingh-km4jt]

It is a wonderful opportunity that you have provided for the enthusiast of bodybuilding into the history of olden times. I have two additions, one of 1911 and the second 1920, of Sandow's System, but the exercise charts have been lost to time. Is it possible to get one chart of his exercises, even though it be a photo copy. Thank you for you effort.

[@peterf7821]

It's available on line for nothing, you can get the whole books on kindle. Other places sell reprints on line. I recommend David Bolton's book the lost secret of how to build a great body with light weights. Great book.

[@AjitSingh-km4jt]

Thank you for enlightening me a out the exercise chart. I shall get one.

[@2cool4scool93]

Anyone know the beginning of the song???!?! =?!=

[@AB-ee5tb]

What happened to the Albert azarian documentary?

[@dalewilson5613]

They named the Mr Olympia winners trophy (the sandow) after him so yeah he did have a bodybuilders physique he was lean and propionate. So he did have a bodybuilders type body

[@oldnatty61]

dale wilson- "He didn't have a bodybuilders type body". He was the prototype.

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

It's a shame that with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Todd, these writers although writing about strongmen, never grasped the benefits of lifelong hard resistance training. Also they left out the story of when John L. Sullivan former heavyweight boxing champion, out of shape and overweight, challenged and equaled Sandow in particular lifts, all done while intoxicated and without any experience in lifting! He began by standing up in the audience declaring " I'm John L. Sullivan and I I can whip any man in the world! " and then pointing at Sandow, added " Including you! ".

[@HAM-sb2ns]

I've heard of John l Sullivan challenging Louis Cyr to a fight in a bar, Cyr picked up John and threw him into a table and that ended that. I have never heard of John l challenging Sandow.

[@ajinomoto831]

Please make one on K.V Iyer. I cant find anywhere video on him.

[@williaml3451]

A lot of mystery, but why not mention the Jewish star he wore. What's up with that? Was he a German Jew?

[@MsF4ucorsair]

born Jewish, converted

[@non9886]

it looks more like some kind of given decoration...

[@HalifaxHercules]

Eugen Sandow was born a Lutheran.
