Georg Hackenschmidt Article
This article from Inside Sport is on an early 20th-century strongman and professional wrestler that invented the bearhug. "His emphasis on leg power and speed meant was able to execute over 100 standing jumps over a table, could single hand deadlift 299kg and won over 3000 consecutive wrestling bouts"
He was also a pioneer in the field of weightlifting. He invented the exercise known as the hack squat, whose name is a reference to his own. Hackenschmidt also helped to popularize many other types of lifts common within the modern training regimen, such as the bench press. During his career, he held numerous weightlifting records.
