How many of the current crop of bodybuilders and weight lifters are going to make it to 92? I say none! RIP Norbert.

This one makes me sad. Norb was always a font of knowledge when it came to actual lifting.

This is a good profile of the man if anyone is interested - http://www.si.com/vault/1966/09/12/612701/looking-for-a-lift . He was certainly one of the more thoughtful lifters to come down the pike.

I wonder what became of his medal? lost, stolen, sold, ex wife took it etc etc

Either way having an Olympic medal on your wall has to be a great thing

He still had the medals, and many moments a few years ago. He was still a bull of a man well into his senior years.

This is from 2007 or so, based on his book in the background.
