Despite the recent surge in popularity of bodyweight training, I find a curious lack of one form of training that I was sure would be making a comeback in a big way. What I am talking about is the lost art of hand-balancing which used to be a big part of the training routines of many of the greatest strength names of the 20th century: Otto Arco, Bert Goodrich, John C. The art of hand-balancing, of course, goes back centuries before that. Sure barbells and dumbbells were a part of their training, but they were also masters of boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and several other components of oldtime physical culture. Many were as adept at performing bodyweight feats as they were at lifting any barbell. Jowett was one of the strongest men of all time; he would know… Of course, it should be obvious that the incredible wrist power and stability built from hand-balancing would be very valuable for EVERY athlete.
