The first being that he has too much work, being forced to continue after he is tired, with the consequence that he destroys tissue faster than he can rebuild it. Second - That only few employments require the use of all the muscles, and all-round development is the prime requisite of great bodily strength. Third - It is but rarely that work or labor requires the extreme contractions and the vigorous effort which produce muscles of great size and high quality...A short period of daily exercise, of the right sort, will give a man greater strength, a better shape and better health than he could possibly get by labor." Earle Liederman wrote a number of other great books including Muscle Building, Endurance and The Art of Wrestling.
