Have you been picked on by bullies? Angelo Siciliano was picked on by bullies after he arrived in the United States from Italy. He spoke almost no English, and needed to know how to stop them. After visiting a museum where he saw a statue of Hercules, he started lifting weights that he made himself. Then he added stretching to his routine. Eventually, he became very strong, which earned him the name of Atlas, because people thought he looked like the Greek god, Atlas. From a 98-pound weakling, he turned into a giant that could tear phone books in half, and bend iron bars into u shapes. Charles Atlas successfully transformed himself into 'The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man,' and started a business with a friend that encouraged everyone to be healthy, and strong.
