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.

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

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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?!

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! ".
