@vyr4ll: body builder VS ancient gym tools 🤯🔫 Halteres (Ancient Greece): Considered the precursor to modern dumbbells. Made of stone, bronze, or iron, these crescent- or block-shaped weights ranged from 2 to 9 kg (4 to 20 lbs). Athletes used them for strength training—doing curls, lunges, and deadlifts—and held them during the long jump to propel their bodies further using momentum. Weighted Lifting Stones (Global): Ancient Greek, Celtic, Nordic, and Asian cultures used massive, smooth stones with carved handles to demonstrate power. Famous historical examples include the Stone of Bybon in Greece (a 143 kg / 315 lb rock carved with an inscription stating Bybon lifted it over his head with one hand). Gada & Indian Clubs (Ancient India & Persia): Heavy wooden or stone clubs attached to handles (like the Gada, a heavy mace) were swung around the shoulders and head. Used by ancient pehlwan wrestlers and warriors, these tools built rotational core strength, forearm grip, and shoulder mobility. #larrywheels #motivation #gym #fyp #bodybuilders
