Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Brown, Michael H. The Strength of Samson. Costa Mesa, California: The Noontide Press, 1988. First Noontide Press printing, August 1988. Softcover. 120 pages. Octavo (8vo), approximately 8.5 × 5.75 inches. ISBN 0-939482-11-8. A scarce vintage physical-culture manual combinin…g bodybuilding, strength development, exercise technique, nutrition, dietary theory, biblical interpretation, and the author's unconventional approach to personal health and physical performance. Michael H. Brown presents a training and lifestyle system intended to help the average reader develop substantially greater physical strength. Drawing upon his experience as a bodybuilder, practical nutritionist, inventor, biblical researcher, and health advocate, Brown discusses resistance training, exercise equipment, diet, attitude, recovery, and what he regarded as the health implications of selected biblical passages. The book includes particularly ambitious claims concerning rapid strength development and very heavy lifting, along with a prominent safety warning cautioning that ordinary Olympic-style barbells may not be designed for the extreme loads contemplated by some of the methods described. The text reflects the independent and occasionally iconoclastic physical-culture literature of the late twentieth century. This copy is the First Noontide Press printing, August 1988, as stated on the copyright page. Earlier copyright dates are also listed, so this copy should not be described as the first edition of the work. A publisher-applied label supplies an updated Noontide Press mailing address. An uncommon title with crossover interest for collectors of vintage bodybuilding books, strength-training manuals, alternative nutrition literature, biblical health systems, independent-press publications, and American physical-culture history. Condition Description Near Fine. Clean, tight, and well-preserved softcover with bright pictorial wraps, a square spine, and a firm binding.
