Hack and What It Takes To Be Great
George Hackenschmidt (1877-1968) was a world record holding weightlifter and World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion before wrestling was prearranged and lifters were using steroids. Hackenschmidt achieved a level of greatness due to several factors.
He achieved a high level of physical fitness. His physical condition allowed him to be the most successful wrestler of his era. Nekoliko hrvači možda bio bolji tehničari, ali Hackenschmidt bio najjači. Često je svladao svoje protivnike i bio je jako teško baciti. On zna samo da su izgubili na Frank Gotch kao profesionalni.

Bio je prilagodljiv. George nikad se zaključao u jednu način razmišljanja, gdje je nikada nije promijenio. Hackenschmidt izvorno borio grčko-rimski stil. Unatoč osvajanju svjetskog prvaka s ovim stilom, on je prebacio uhvatiti što ulov može hrvanje oko 1904. On je obranio naslov u tom stilu dok nije izgubio Frank Gotch u 1908.
Imao je upornost. Hackenschmidt je neporaženi svjetski prvak sedam godina od 1901 to 1908. Većina ljudi može ostati samo na vrhu svijeta za par godina. Da bi se neporažena sedam godina u gotovo 3000 meč je nevjerojatan rekord. Morao je donijeti “A” igre svake noći.
Osim njegovih hrvanje podvizima, George Hackenschmidt također smatra najjači čovjek na svijetu na prijelazu stoljeća. Držao zapisa u bench press, Hack čučanj, itd.. On je zapravo izumio Hack čučanj, koja je nazvana u njegovu čast.
George Hackenschmidt upoznao Franka Gotch travnja 3, 1908 in Chicago, IL. Gotch napokon završila Hackenschmidt je neporažen trag. On September 4, 1911, Gotch i Hackenschmidt imali revanš s istim rezultatom. Hackenschmidt, who was suffering from “housemaid’s knee”, decided to retire.
He stayed active in fitness training though. He wrote How to Live in Strength and Health (affiliate link) and continued training people. In his 80s, he was said to jump a chair 50 puta, bench press 150 pounds and run seven miles. “Pijuk” died in 1968 na 90 godina.
