Working on that sweater weather body for #FitnessFriday? Yeah, me neither.
But if you do change your mind, Hagley Library’s Digital Archive is here for you. This pamphlet, How to Mold a Mighty Chest, was published by George F. Jowett (1891-1969) and the Jowett Institute of Physical Culture in 1938.
In the pamphlet, Jowett, an English-born Canadian weightlifter and bodybuilder who once billed himself as the "world's strongest man", offered readers an illustrated introduction to the ‘Jowett Course’ of physical training.
