John Grimek was doing squats in the 30's. He should have won a gold medal in the Olympics in Nazi Germany 1936 in Olympic lifting if it wasn't for a wacky law they had in place. The rule was if you lifted in a higher weight category at any time you couldn't go to a lower weight category. John Grimek competed as a light heavy and competed once as a heavy weight. At the Olympic he shows up as light heavy and they made him lift in the heavy weight class. He would have won the gold.

Sometimes I think the oldtimers knew what they were doing with whole body routines. Train everything and take a day off.
