Bench Press

Summary: Bench Press for the brain
Review: Sven Lindqvist's book is definitely not for the bench press fanatic of the macho fraternity. A book of ethereal snippets, dreams, observations and interesting historical facts with an underlying theme of weight training & physical culture.
Written by a middle class Scandinavian intellectual, the title could be very deceiving for someone looking for a training book.
Its a pretty slim volume but I found it a worthwhile addition to my iron game library. Its easy to read so I suppose that means the translation from the original Swedish is good!
