Quote:
New Jersey born Henry Wittenberg was one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived. Unbelievably, he never even wrestled until he got to college but by his junior year, he was doing very well in many prestigious tournaments.

After college, he entered eight AAU tournaments – and won all of them. In an era where many people inflate their numbers, Wittenberg legitimately won over 300 straight matches. He won a Gold medal at the 1948 London Olympics and came back to win Silver in 1952 at Helsinki. He doesn’t have any World Championships to his credit because his employer, The New York Police Department, would not allow him the time off.

One of the notable things about Wittenberg is that he was one of the few athletes at the time who actively lifted weights. His coaches at the time forbade him to do so, but Wittenberg understood how important it was and would not hear of it. They gave in and allowed him to keep lifting weights so as long as he didn’t let it be known.

Later on, he wrote this book on Isometrics which has gone through five printings

Great book for bodyweight, isometric enthusiasts. Wittenberg was a legendary wrestler and these exercises are well thought out and feel great. Using nothing more than a door, a rope, a broomstick and yourself, these routines will work you out whatever your fitness level. A quick warmup, isometrics followed by some cardio, three levels and then some sports specific moves. Leaves a lot of room to create your own variations, reps, etc. Written in 1964, and has a cool vintage vibe and look. Just don’t hold your breath when you contract muscles….

This book is a lost treasure. I hesitate to recommend it because there are so few copies left in circulation. This book is the handiest exercise handbook on the planet. It’s techniques can be used with or without partners, with our without equipment and with our without any special place to train and literally without cost. I often give it to my karate students for a little known but greatly effective strengthening technique. It is a technique that can can be employed by young or old and can not be more empirically verifiable. Also, nearly any part of the body can be strengthened through employing it’s use. And Wittenberg was the undeniable master of this subject. He not only used it but proved in as an Olympian and undefeated wrestling champion. It may be a book from yesteryear but its content is timeless for anyone who discovers its efficacy.
