Strength Secrets of The King of The Old Time Strongmen - Revealed!
It was 1975 and Slim the Hammer Man stood alone before the crowd of 21,000 screaming fans at Madison Square Garden.
Only a half hour before, in his dressing room backstage, Slim had warmed up and then attempted the leverage lift that he was to perform to break his own
World Record: a pair of twenty eight pound hammers, 56 pounds on 31 inch handles, with 1736-inch pounds of pressure on his wrists.
The Hammers lay horizontal on the dressing room floor. Slim set himself and tried to raise them... and failed.
He tried again, and again - six times altogether - but to no avail. On the last attempt he
could hardly move the weight an inch off the floor, and in doing so he strained both his wrists.
Slim grimaced from the pain, and his son, Larry Jr., looked on with concern.

"Dad, it's time. I have to take your hammers up to the ring now. How much weight shall I take off?"
"Leave the hammers like they are, I told them I would break the record..."
"But Dad, you're hurt."
"Never mind son, you just take those hammers up there."

Slim Farman faced the crowd of twenty thousand alone. He peered at the mirror-bright hammers, the oak and steel objects which he had loved and
cursed for so long, that had broken his wrists over twenty times.
He passed his hand over the steel of the hammers shielding them from his view with what appeared a theatrical flourish. It was his own unique method
for mind over matter.
Twenty years of training were condensed into only a millisecond.
What happened next... Well, let's just say that there's a reason Slim the Hammer Man's name is in the record books...

How It All Began
It all began on a warm and muggy night back in the summer of 1955. At Zern's Market in Gilbertsville, PA, Joseph "The Mighty Atom" Greenstein,
a traveling strongman and physical culturist, berated a youthful crowd for their laziness and unclean living habits. As the Atom spoke,
a serious voice came out of the crowd...
"You ain't talkin' about me" said a tall, wiry young man in the back who did not smile.
The Mighty Atom knew of this young man; he had been watching him grow taller ever since he began stopping at Zern's Market,
over a decade before.
He had never said a word to the Mighty Atom until that day.
The Atom invited this young man up to the stage and challenged him to bend a spike. Without technique or
experience (but with a whole lot of grit and determination) this young man accomplished the feat.
The Mighty Atom had encountered many different people during his travels but there was something
different about this one, something on which he could not put his finger. Unbeknownst to the Atom, this young
man worked as a stone cutter at Gill Quarries in Fairfiew Village, Pennsylvania.
For nine hours a day, his job involved swinging a sixteen pound hammer and breaking over one hundred tons of
stone. It was this back-breaking work which had given this man a body of steel, cable-strong arms, and a
resolve as strong and solid as iron...
Lawrence "Slim" Farman returned to Zern's Market every weekend from then on to learn the "secrets" of The Mighty Atom, and eventually became
his student. With the Mighty Atom as his teacher, Slim The Hammer Man would go on to perform in front of hundreds of thousands of people
and establish strength records that would never be broken, including his World Record Hammer Lift.
Now, in his brand new Strength DVD, you can take a seat at the foot of the King of The Old Time Strongmen
and learn from Slim just as he learned from The Mighty Atom so long ago...
