Which portion of history do you study? My pal, Manouchehr Khorasani, just wrote a book covering Persian arms and armor from the Bronze Age to the end of the Qajar era. Hit the gym and crank out those deads, dips, curls, wrist curls, and reverse wrist curls if you're not going to read it at a table.
