Whether I can give you, dear reader, a percentage of my own strength and stamina, time will show, but I can at least place before you a method of training, simple though it be, which has brought me to the pinnacle of fame in the weight- lifting world.

The Saxons had no inkling of my intended visit but I was pleased to find that they placed no obstacles whatever in my way; they seemed only too glad to believe that at last something was being done to establish their claims.

This was because at the time it was quite customary for so-called strongmen to outrageously exaggerate their lifts, one 10 stone lb lifter calmly claiming a Bent Press of lbs. Once, indeed, at Battersea, the card read lbs. Asked what this meant, Arthur, to my surprise, said, "We have lost the lbs.

    • Thus the Saxons had what others at that time lacked - the method of daily hard work which has got the champions of today where they are. But in this system they stood alone, others did as little as possible and the general standard of lifting was low at the time.
