Wrestling Way Back When, Part 2 - Georg Hackenschimdt


Part two of today's series features Georg Hackenschmidt, an Estonian strong man and wrestler 
who contended for the world wresting championship in the first decade and a half of the 
20th Century.  Many modern commentators have remarked on his well
 developed glutes, and I've chosen photos that show them off.

  1. Le Hack, légende de là lutte, de l’haltérophilie et de la culture physique. Sa maison, au 24 Chestnut Road à Norwood, à Londres, devrait être un musée.
    C’est là qu’il vivait avec sa femme français cultivée, Rachel.

  2. A very impressive gentleman built like a steam locomotive he was.
