But the second one was going back to the old time books. I collect a lot of those actually. I have quite a library of the old time strength books, some from the 1800s, the old book of strength and they're fabulous. Indian clubs. Are you familiar with Indian clubs? So it's a wooden club that looks like a bowling pin, basically. But some of the old style Indian clubs were this long.

Well, there's a great manual strength athlete that not too many people have heard of, John Brookfield. He lives in North Carolina, Pinehurst, North Carolina. In Pinehurst, there's a sculpture of very heavy steel that John bent with his bare hands to make this sculpture with. Yeah, he'll take heavy rebar and bend it and, you know, put on strength shows with his hands.

He's a fabulous fella too, by the way. I, he's got a set of Indian clubs. I can hardly pick one up, but he just picks up this Indian club. And it was from some famous guy from the 1800s. And somehow he got the Indian clubs and they're about this long, but he could just get them and play sword play with very heavy Indian clubs. There's actually a good friend of mine.

He's an Australian fellow, Andrew Locke. I don't know if you've ever heard of Andrew Locke. And Andrew has collected kettlebells and Indian clubs from the old timers. He's got quite a lovely collection in Melbourne, where he's from in Australia. But they're wonderful exercises.
