Those pics harken back to a day when bodybuilding was an expression of health and fitness, not the drug addled freak show it is, today.

RIP

Timmy and Tommy Kona both treated me with respect and supported everything I did.  Timmy had a small gym upstairs off of Ward St. for a long time.  It closed down once 24 Hour Fitness came in and the market changed on Oahu.  It was like stepping back into the 60's when you went there.
