Trevor Blake on Books: The Mighty Atom by Ed Spielman
[LINK-ZUM]
 Biography of Joseph L. Greenstein, "The Mighty Atom." A real life Popeye. Clean living, feats of super-human strength, willing and able to get in a scrap with dozens of much younger men and whip their candy asses, and he even ate his spinach. He could drive nails into a 2.5 inch wooden board and bend horseshoes with his bare hands. Not one man of any age reading this blog is as fit as he was in his 80s. There is nothing worthy of the Mighty Atom online, you'll have to track down a copy of the book. I was a fool for selling my copy considering how rarely it shows up for sale and how much it costs when it does. This book helped me understand how crushingly difficult life used to be for the average man only a few generations ago, and what a great deal of hard work over extended periods of time could accomplish in the realm of physical self-improvement.
