“John Y. Smith, showing his perfect form in the bent press.

He's one of the greatest bent pressers of history.

This picture was taken sometime between 1900-1901 and the dumbell weighs 185 pounds.

Smith could clean and bent press this weight three repetitions.

Notice how the right half of the latissimus dorsi muscle and the right half of the trapezius muscle are flexed into a compact mass and that the right arm is resting on that mass.”

–Bob Hoffman, How I Bent-Pressed 250 lbs., 1938

Physical culture pioneer and strongman Hippolyte T

Physical culture pioneer and strongman Hippolyte Triat established a huge gymnasium in Paris where aristocrats joined spirited youth to pursue fitness.

Curriculum:

FREE HAND EXERCISES — arm rotation, leg lunges, knee bends etc.

SIX-KILO GLOBE BARBELLS — putting the bar behind the neck and the back, twists, exercises on the balance beam, etc.

RUNNING — gymnastic walking, hopping, side-stepping, jumping

LIGHT DUMBELLS — Thrusts in all directions, always alternating,
body bends, etc.

LIGHT BARBELLS — walking with resistance, lifting the arms with a half twist, etc.

HEAVY DUMBELLS AND BARBELLS — snatching, swing-lifting, pressing, cleaning, etc.

---

Triat loved to repeat certain maxims, for example:

“Exercise is not exhaustion.”

“Working out is not working to death.”

“The body’s strength, carefully directed, is a source of moral as well as physical beauty.”

Image: "Grand Gymnase" de París (1865).

"It is a fast lift, and calls for quicker thinking, faster action, and more vigorous strength in one combined effort than any other lift. Greater skill is required, and the man who excels on this lift with a good poundage hung up as his record is apt to be a good, all-round lifter."

Around 1909, Alan Calvert’s Milo Bar-Bell Company came out with the unique Large-Size Milo Triplex Combination Bell”, which consisted of:

“…handles for a barbell, a dumbbell, and two ring weights; two small collars to hold the plates in place,; two end caps to ‘form an unbroken continuity’ with curvature of the bell; two wrenches; and two eight-and-half inch globes consisting of the hollow, shot-loading chamber and pair of plates for each of the following weights: ten-, seven-and-one-half-, five-, and two-and-half-pounds. .. Triplex model was hit.”

- Building Strength: Alan Calvert, the Milo Bar-Bell Company, and the Modernization of American Weight Training, p. 150.

As the advertisement said, The Milo Triplex dumbbell/barbell/kettlebell was “The Royal Road to Strength” - and still is.

“This lift has to be learned, as it doesn’t come naturally. Some will never learn it, while others will get the hang of it in a few days’ time. But it is well worth practicing, as through this lift you can make a better showing than with any other. You can easily learn to press a person weighing as much or more than yourself, and press other heavy objects as well as a barbell.”

[TESTIMONIAL] #GreatGamaProtocol: "I am presently

[TESTIMONIAL] #GreatGamaProtocol: "I am presently 3 days away from completing the 5th month of the “Morning Recharge” and can’t speak highly enough for how great I feel. I have been following the protocol as written and have not missed a single day since starting.

After rotating through numerous kettlebell programs through the years (Rite of Passage, Kettlebell Muscle, various methods of A+A training, S&S, etc.), as well as a combination of running and rucking, I was really starting to feel my 53 years of wear and tear.

Since following the Gama Protocol I have progressively gained most of the mobility of my younger years, and have found my various other active pursuits to have benefitted as well.

Some of the particular benefits I have found include:

- greater self-discipline through diligently completing the Morning Recharge in a fasted state every morning
- the elimination of any lingering morning stiffness
- a wonderful sense of calm to start the day
- a worthwhile compliment to most other training (even as a base program as the volume increases)
- significant improvement in body composition

My wife is now going in to her third month and is also feeling the benefits and singing the program’s praises"
