But Charles Atlas wasn't always one of America's most famous strong men.
Once upon a time, he was a -97-pound weakling- who was picked on by neighborhood bullies.
Using her trademark humor, Meghan Mc Carthy brings to life the story of Charles Atlas, the man who would become -the World's Most Perfectly Developed Man- and, with his fitness campaign, inspired the entire nation to get in shape, eat right, and take charge of our lives.
