    Many of the past greats developed their physicality via hard labor.

    Fitz hammered away hour upon hour upon an anvil as a blacksmith.

    Jeffries was a boilermaker.

    Johnson worked hard labor on a farm.

    Truly hard work builds both body and mind. Toughness both physically and mentally. This was cited by many regarding the old timers including Fleischer.

    I did a lot. This was much more unique then expected.

    That exercise he mentions in the beginning about the neck press is so old school.

    Magnificent for your neck development I use it to this day and it brought a smile to my face to see it mentioned.

    Hence forth when people say "What the hell are you doing!" I will bark back with pure enthusiasm "Have you heard of Jack Dempsey?"
