Anyone who lifts weights, be it for personal improvement, to become a better athlete, or have the biggest biceps in the land, owes a debt of gratitude to Dan Lurie. He is one of the pioneers of the fitness movement. If you have never heard of Dan, the best way to learn about him is to read his inspiring story - "Heart of Steel." Dan has done it all, in a storied career that has spanned almost 70 years! In addition to winning the title of "America's Most Muscular Man" three years in row, setting world weightlifting and endurance records, and being a TV star, he also armed-wrestled President Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office! How many men have done all these things? Only one - Dan Lurie!

This book will take you from the "ancient" days of bodybuilding right up to the present with many incredible stories in between. In addition, Dan gives his own invaluable advice on training and nutrition which will help you improve your own health and physique. Dan is 86 years young, and walks the walk!

Once you start reading. you won't be able to put this book down. Even if you never lifted a weight in your life, this is one book you should have in your library!

I got a pre-released copy of this book. It was truly inspirational, i learned so much about the legend Dan Lurie and his amazing feats of strength. It was so incredible to read his life story, couldn't put the book down. Definite MUST READ! I definitely recommend this book to athletes and anyone who wants to be inspired.

"Health is your greatest Wealth!" --Dan Lurie

Dan Lurie has been curiously, but obviously omitted from bodybuilding history? Why?
Finally, an answer and from the man, himself!

Dan Lurie is truly the "Unsung Muscleman"! This book not only re-accounts history, but tells his side of the story.

Not a mere "muscle head", but an outstanding bodybuilder, athlete, fitness pioneer, businessman, entertainer, record holder and family man.

What a step back in time! Dan even reveals his "secrets" of how he built "America's Most Muscular" physique, without drugs.

This book is a must have for any bodybuilder, athlete or fitness enthusiast or anyone interested in an historic account of how one man rose to the top, with everything working against him.

You will become inspired!

i bought this book because i have been a dan lurie fan for 50yr. however i did not realize just to what extent his influence has been on the strength and fitness industry. his story makes facinating reading. an early pioneer of weight training and physical culture who has influenced thousands including many champions with his guidance and sound training advise. just turned 88 and still actively keeping fit.
