How to Bent Press
by Siegmund Klein
Renowned Old Time Strongman, Physique and
New York City Gym Owner!
This is the first book ever written and dedicated exclusively to the “King of Lifts”...
The Bent Press.
If you have ever seen anyone Bent Press a heavy, cumbersome, barbell or dumbbell, you have to admit, it looks mighty impressive!
Believe it or not, you can actually lift more weight while using the Bent Press with one arm, than you can while using the military press with two arms!
But before we go into detail about what you will learn from this classic book, here is a little back ground on the author, Siegmund Klein.
During the time that the author owned and operated his famous Klein’s Gym located in the heart of New York City, he probably met more old time strongmen than anyone else of his day.

How to Bent Press
by Siegmund Klein
|
Because of the location of his gym, it became a mecca for famous strongmen from all over the world.
Anytime they were in town, they would always make it a point to stop by his famous gym to say hello, discuss training, and take a workout.
Therefore, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that Siegmund Klein became world renowned for having access to more information on how the oldtime strongmen trained than anyone else.
Much of the valuable training information that Klein accumulated over the years, found its way into several magazines including Bob Hoffman’s Strength and Health.
Even though the author briefly edited and published his own magazine, he set out in 1938 to write and publish a special book on his favorite lift, The Bent Press.
After years of training with and learning from famous oldtime strongmen, the author explains in detail how to do this classic lift.
