arm muscles get chance to lift. the
bell will have rolled or pulled its way
from out your clenched fingers. Your
nnger and hand muscles, then, are not
strong enough even to raise it from
the floor.
This will show you how many mus
Giles you need to do heavyweight lift
each other.
Then you should be ready to begin
to learn real dumbbell lifting.
Stand over five or ten pound bell,
according to your strength Spring
your body up and down from your
toes to get the muscles of the calf and
inner thigh working properly. Set
your jaws and stiffen up the muscles
OF your abdomen and back.
Now stoop, without relaxing a sin
gle tendon or ligament. Get your
hand firmly around the bell. Tugg a bit
on IT to make sure that your hand
has firm control of the weight. Then.
with a combined pull of back, thighs.
loins, calves, abdomen and upper and
lower arm, lift the bell, steadily and
without a jerk, to the waist line. AS
you straighten up with 1t apply the
muscle force to the aid of the biceps
muscle, which must now lift the bell
up toward the shoulder.
AS 1t mounts toward the shoulder
the body should bend away from IL
and work under the weight so that it
shall be in the best position for an Iip-
ward lift or push-that is, as nearly
under the weight as it is possible to
get. Here is where the trick comes
in.
If you are pushing with your right
hand, for instance, you lean over side
ways toward the left. You can help
yourself by resting your left hand on
your thigh or knee as you bend your
left leg.
Now the moment your right arm
has elevated the weight to the shout
der you can get your body under IL
almost as If you were gliding under
something. And the instant YOU do so
get under 1t, almost all the strain is
eaken up and the only difficulty is in
keeping the dumbbell straight up in
the air. AS long as you can do that
your arm has little more to do except
to hold the weight perpendicular. At
TINS Juncture keep your eye on the
Dell and don't let it wiggle or wobble
or sway from the exact perpendicular.
The heavier it is the more important
is this point
IT a man is lifting a one hundred
and nifty or two hundred pound weight,
the least swaying TO one side or the
other viii send 1t crashing down, and
1t is at that moment that he is in
grave danger from two things. One
Is that the immense weight may top
PIE on his own head or neck and
shoulders and fracture his skull, break
mis- neck or even his spine. The other
is that, as the weight falls, his body
may act just like the hosting engine
with runaway load, and smash up
In other words, he mag rupture him

Science, strength and "knack" or
trick" all play part in lifting heavy
weights, and especially dumbbells.
With the exception of trapeze acts,
few athletic feats are more spectacular
than the feat of lifting extraordinary
weights over the head. Consequently
most boys who tackle athletics are i'm
patient to try this branch as soon as
possible.
Athletic instructors object to it, and
many of them refuse consistently to
let their pupils work with heavy
dumbbells or other weights, They are
right.
1t is a fine thing to have the
strength that will enable one TO WELD
great weights with easei but it is a
use the body by forcing it to work
itself stiff, stale and clumsy by doing
too much heavyweight work.
Look at any laborer who does ex-
tremely heavy lifting habitually, such
as carrying sacks of coal or grain,
hoisting big cases on trucks, and so
on Observe how clumsy and lOgy
his body is: how slow and painful
every motion is.
He is strong. OF that there is no
doubt But IL is not the true strength
which can do the greatest amount OF
work in the shortest amount of time
with the most ease.
His strength is like the strength of
thick rope. The perfect human
body must have an entirely different
kind Of strength-the strength of life
and motion.
There is another danger in lifting
heavy weights. 1t is in the fact that,
at n certain point in the lift, the
weight is In such a position that the
least slip will throw its burden of
from the muscles and on the I'M
muscled part of the body. such as the
soft abdomen. II is this that causes
ruptures and strains OF the back and
sides that often cripple q person for
life.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-08-02

class, for they need lots of space. So
it has only a few bones like that. You
raise your head by means of such a
lever.
The bones that have muscles at one
end and the fulcrum or joint at the
other, while the weight to be moved
comes between the two, are levers of
the second class, and the best example
is the foot when you rise from your
toes.
The most compact lever is the lever
of the third-class, in which the weight
is at one end of the lever or bone, the
fulcrum or joint at the other end,
and the power or muscle between the
two.
These levers of the third-class are
the most plentiful in the human en-
CINE.
Try such lever by raising a weight
with a stick of wood. You will find
that it requires more strength to raise
weight with a lever of the third
class than 1t would with a lever of
the first or second class. But you will
find also that a very short motion of
your arms will lift that weight pretty
high.
That Is where the muscles gains with
lever of the third-class. 1t can do
quicker work.
Nv AAhoNlGo OGllu d lIIlO are
called the fiexors. Those which
straighten it out the extensors. The
biceps is a fiexor muscle. The triceps
lying on the under part of the arm. is
an eXtensor muscle.
Until you realize clearly how all
these muscles and bones act and that
they cannot support weights by them
selves, but must be in the proper posi-
ton and have the support of ali the
parts, you must not essay to lift
heavy weights.
But when you have studied the mat
ter and feel that you wish to do some
dumbbell work in order to prove vour
strength, you can get at it with a min
imum of risk if You will use common
sense.
Learn first that dumbbel1 showing
requires a combination of the things
mentioned in the first line of this arti-
Gle.
Learn, secondly. TO appreciate what
heavy weight really means when IL
gets away from you. You need NOT
let a heavy weight get away from vo,,
to md out. Take a light dumbbell
that you can handle with ease and cer-
tainty, and after you lift ii at arms
length over your head, let your ex
tended arm slant out from your ho1v
and see how irresistibly even the light
weight will pull your levers down
ward.

The Savannah morning news., 1903-08-02

Therefore, as you work your body
to get underneath the uplifted weight
you must keep an eye on the latter
constantly. When you are well un-
der it and all is clear you can raise
your body slowly from the knees up
until you stand entirely erect with the
weight held straight overhead.
In lifting weights no spectators
should be permitted to stand within
fifteen or twenty feet of the athlete IN
any direction. If it is being done on
a gymnasium floor, heavy mattresses
should lie in front of him. Often'
when the operation of lifting has been
completed, 1t becomes necessary for
the athlete to let the weight fall away
from him as soon as it is lifted, be-
cause his muscles have been strained
to their utmost.
1t is hardly possible for the average
athlete to lower any extraordinarily
heavy weight slowly. He must throw
1t from him or let it fall. Conse-
quently there must be plenty OF ree
open space around him.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-08-02

The weight need not be excessive in
order to cause any of these injuries.
Quite light weight can hurt the lift
er TERRIBLY If he let's it get away from
his muscles and throws it's "heft' sud-
denly on the soft organs or the soft
tissues surrounding them. That mo-
ment some or all of those soft tissues
and weaker muscles, not intended by
nature to do heavy work, will burst
under the strain.
On the other hand, an enormous
weight can be lifted by the athlete
who has mastered the science of con-
centrating all his muscular forces and
guarding his body by his braced mus
Giles In such way that the weight is
supported by muscle at every stage of
the work.
Look at a stationary hosting engine
that lifts immense weights by slow,
firm pulling. The burden rises stead
lily and nothing gives way. But let
that same engine raise a much lesser
load half way UP a high place and
then suddenly let go. The weight will
go down with a run and tear to pieces
the engine and gear, that, with proper
lifting, could raise ten times that
weight without trouble.
Again, let such an engine wobble
from it's base while hoisting a weight,
or let a rivet work loose so that one
or more axles or wheels will move
slightly out of place. Bang! The whole
business will go to smash.
Your bones are, in a way, the
wheels, pivots axles and beams of
such an engine: only, instead of being
riveted and bolted together, they in
terlock cunningly and brace against
each other. If you don't know some
thing about their action, you are likely
at any time to get your limbs into po-
sitions where the result will be just
the same as If a part of the engine
were out of place.
To begin, a bone Is about twice as
strong as a piece of fine oak timber of
the same size. Where the bones meet.
in the joints, they are held together by
a strong rope called ligament. This
is tougher than the bone and of about
the same strength.
These ligaments are the lashings
that bind the machinery in place. The
muscles, which are attached to the
bones also, are like the rope or cable
that runs from the drum of the en-
CINE over and through pulleys and
tackle blocks and down to the weight.
One end of the muscle is attached
to the outside of the bone. The other
end is fastened to a connecting cord
called a tendon--a white. wonderfully
tough and pliable cord.
Now these muscles and the bones
all form levers-different in appear
ance. but not different in principle and
action from the levers and ropes used
in machinery.
A bone with the muscle pulling
at one end. the Joint (Which is the full
crum) in the middle and the weight at
the other end. Is a lever OF the first
class. The human body hasn't room
enough for many levers Of the first
