About Jim Taylor
Jim Taylor of the Green Bay Packer's was one of the first professional football players to use weight training in the off-season to improve his physical abilities. Known for his bruising style of play, Jim gained over 1000 yards a season for five consecutive seasons and was ultimately elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Without a doubt, the strength gained through his hard work in the weight room contributed significantly to his success.
