Great blog post! Very inspiring. Man..after starting your Infinite Intensity Training Progam (on Day 9) - I have appreciated so much of the information I got just by reading your book from cover to cover, intensely reading and learning at the same time (got my journal going at the workout log thread). To actually do your workouts and apply one of Saxons famous moves (the Saxon Side bend)- and many other moves I've never been accustomed to doing and feeling the effects it has on the body - I have a newfound appreciation of what of what it really means to be fit. Ross,

Thanks for the reminder. Also, do you notice the size of the waist on most of them? They're not fat, but have what appear to be rather large waists...as I guess is needed for good transfer of strength. On another note, do you know much about the typical diet they followed. I don't see much written out it, but I would guess it was pretty standard to all of them and a function of what was available to them at the time.

Great find Ross and thanks for the heads up. It goes to show you that there isn’t anything new under the sun, we are just “re-learning” if you will. Great find Ross and thanks for the heads up.
