Wow, how do you find all this stuff???
It is actually just Ukraine. A the risk of sounding like a geography nazi, it is an important distinction.19th Century Russia and the Ukraine
Your much more informed opinion matches my speculative one perfectly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.@Kozushi history of the Iron Game is one of my passions.
As for the quote, it talks about singles, not just once a day.
As for "undeveloped", we don't know - just the description is brief. Inch (and Russian Lion) Hackenschmidt were very strong gentlemen.
I am pretty sure there are close to none weight-lifting books in early in the early 1800s. Late 1800s, early 1900s? Yes.
My bet for the origin of the get- up would be travelling circuses and vaudeville, plus the grandfathers like prof. Attila and Dr. von Krajewski and their respective schools.
Interesting and also weird how it "sounded right" for me to write "THE Ukraine" - I wonder where that came from.It is actually just Ukraine. A the risk of sounding like a geography nazi, it is an important distinction.
"The" is used to refer to regions rather than countries. Once Ukraine was part of Soviet Union and it was a region within it, but as it is a sovereign state there is no reason to append "the" before its name.Interesting and also weird how it "sounded right" for me to write "THE Ukraine" - I wonder where that came from.
My mother was an immigrant from a Ukrainian family. I was happy to find out that Ukraine has a nice kettelbell and strongman pedigree and I share half my ancestry with those guys!"The" is used to refer to regions rather than countries.

On the topic, it is true that the cross-legged sitting position is referred to as "turkish-style" in Eastern Europe.
That is very interesting - unfortunately I don't know much about that part of Ukraine history besides the obvious legendary wrestler Ivan Piddubnyi who utilized kettlebells alot.My mother was an immigrant from a Ukrainian family.

Probably lots more guys. It's part of the strength culture over there.That is very interesting - unfortunately I don't know much about that part of Ukraine history besides the obvious legendary wrestler Ivan Piddubnyi who utilized kettlebells alot.
But I would say that "I live in the United States" rather than "I live in United States." Of course, United States is not really a name, per se, rather a description that has become a name. Maybe I should just say that I live in Usa (pronounce oo-suh)."The" is used to refer to regions rather than countries.
Speaking of that, I am an American too, being a Canadian, and I think Mexicans and Brazilians are also Americans. This really means something to me as there is something particular about living on the American landmass whether it be North or South America. We all share certain things in common regarding history, culture and stuff like that.But I would say that "I live in the United States" rather than "I live in United States."

Very true. I don't think we"Usans" have a simple, short, clear name for ourselves, so we use Americans. It's not technically correct, but at least it's part of the longer, official name of our country. And it's easier to say than United Statesers.Speaking of that, I am an American too, being a Canadian, and I think Mexicans and Brazilians are also Americans.
That's strange that it sounds more natural to you. Perhaps it is a special case for "united" countries. United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. It feels like these countries have there own titles.But I would say that "I live in the United States" rather than "I live in United States."
