Klein's Bell

By Siegmund Klein

Siegmund Klein's was a great all around lifter, hand balancer, muscle control artist, and was well-regarded as having one of the best body's of the era. At a bodyweight of 148 lbs. he military pressed 221.5 lbs. He also performed 17 tiger bends in a row! If you're not familiar with the move a tiger bend involves moving from a forearm stand to a handstand and requires tremendous shoulder and tricep strength. This is the entire year and a half run from June 1931 to December 1932 of Sig's magazine Klein's Bell. It covers profiles on all kinds of strongmen, exercises, workout plans, a guest article section from Raymond Van Cleef on acrobatics, principles of training and so much more. Here's a few quotes from Sigmund: "Time and money spent in training the body pays a larger dividend than any investment." "The stronger the body the more it obeys, the weaker the body the more it commands." "The glory of a man is his strength." "Strength is first, last, and at all times the ability to do things."
