Most pertinent point of all. He tells us alcohol is NERVE POISON & to avoid it.
Note that anabolic steroids were not developed until 1935. All these Indian men built strength & muscle naturally. With a combination of Hatayoga & weight training.

Demonstration from the book of what we today call as behind the neck military press.
People with bad shoulder mobility are usually instructed to avoid this exercise for the fear of impinging the rotater cuff. But if done properly, this is the best exercise for shoulders.

There is a perception among men today that you cannot build a strong & aesthetic physique unless you have a membership of some gold's gym or cultfit etc. Nothing could be farther from the truth. One can do wonders with a pair of dumbbell sitting at home. Don't need anything fancy
Or any fancy supplements for that matter. If you are suffering from some vitamin/mineral deficiency, that's another story. But if you know how & what to eat, have a long term goal & are disciplined enough, any man can transform himself.
Yoga when complimented with weight training, there is no better combination than that if you'd ask me. Yoga teaches control of the mind & breathing, which then you can apply to weight training to achieve mind-muscle connection.
