Gallery III
The pictures in the Iron Barbell Gallery of
Ancient Iron depict various exercises that will eventually be detailed in the
article section. Please note that these pictures have been painstakingly
restored from the originals found in public domain books, or they are
originals. Because of these please ask for permission to use them on a
website or other medium. The emphasis here is not so much on the famous
lifters, but the lifts themselves.
| Club Swinging circa 1911 |
 The picture to the right is from a very rare 1911 text entitled "Indian Clubs" by Cobbett and Jenkin. This photograph probably was one of the authors, but none in the book are labeled. With light clubs a trainer can gain flexibility in their wrists and shoulders, bigger clubs they can obtain great power and gain a little more muscle mass than the person here. |
This picture was taken from another rare book, "Indian Clubs and Dumb Bells," by Dougherty, a Spalding Athletic Library book, 1914. The picture illustrates a key maneuver in parallel club swinging. It's hard to describe, but follow the lines and arrows carefully and the exercise can be reproduced. Try this with a 25-pound club and you are really doing something!
