Great Sandow piece. You know, he lost a weightlifting contest to a woman. Katie Brumbach, a strongwoman with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus for many years, and Sandow had a lifting contest. She won when she cleared 300# over her head and Sandow could only raise it to chest height. She adopted the stage name "Sandwina" in memory of the occasion. Her son, Ted, was a heavyweight contender in the 1920s.
