The Sandow System

Along with many other elements of physical culture, Eugen Sandow was one of the first bodybuilders to publish a regular magazine exploring various exercise techniques.

These magazines usually featured Sandow demonstrating his remarkable physique and shilling for exercise equipment.

Though some of the exercises may appear quite strange to modern audiences, a few like the push up, overhead lift; and especially the snatch, clean and jerk are still done today.
