There's more to building super strength than just slingin' iron...

The great German Strongman Fred Rollon, known as "The Human Anatomy Chart" developed his incredible condition primarily through training with chest expanders and rubber cables.

Rollon was undefeated at strand-pulling feats. It was reported that the strands which Rollon used in his workouts were so strong that they could resist the pull of horses.
