The Discovery of
DYNAMIC-TENSION
Charles Atlas Notes:
"Well, sir, I was standing there in front of a lion's cage, and the
old gentleman was lying down asleep, and all of a sudden he gets up
and gives a stretch. Well, he stretched himself all over - you
know how they do, first one leg and then another - and the
muscles ran around like rabbits under a rug. I says to myself, 'Does
this old gentleman have any barbells, any exercisers? No, sir. Then
what's he been doing?' And it came to me. I said to myself, 'He's
been pitting one muscle against another!'
"In less than twelve months by this method of exercising, I doubled my
weight, and I became so strong that I beat up the guy who had given me
the beating."
