In the old days the AAU Mr America was a big title. The weightlifting crowd under Bob Hoffman from York were behind that show. They held it after the lifting finished and one night the bodybuilding show didn't start until after midnight! They brought in rules to more or less eliminate the muscleheads on Muscle Beach. No posing in G-strings for gay mags, no tattoos, no bums. Malcolm Brenner missed out on that title and so did Zabo and even Larry Scott. Larry went on to win Joe's version and Sergio did the same thing after losing to his mate, Bob Gajda in 1966.
Malcolm Brenner was a huge guy in those days. He was one of the first who bulked up. They should bring back those days and do away with all this gay shit posing in thongs that we see at the professional level.
