My grandfather met the guy who developed isometric exercise. He remembers a dwarfishly short fellow with sinewy legs and arms, red puffy cheeks, and Chicken Pox scores on his forehead. He told my grandfather in confidence, that had he known in advance the uproar his exercise program would incite among the general public, he would never had developed it. He killed himself by hanging, using a braided skipping rope and a pommel horse talcum with rosin.
