This thread will be dedicated to ONLY Guess Who pics. We have allot of knowledgable people on this board. This thread will test your memory and jog your memory at the same time. The old-timers are the ones who paved the way for bodyuilding.
If you can find a "Now" pic of an old-timer please post. In fact post a "now" pic and lets see if we can guess who it is and show how they have changed over the years
It was so much fun back then. Not to knock today BB, but I think most of us agree that is was a whole lot funner and interesting back in the heyday.
Here are a couple fairly easy ones. I remember talking with the first one on many occassions. For months I never knew who is was. When I found out, it was allot more memorable and interesting to talk to him.
Sorry if you guys think this is stupid. I rather like the past a whole better than nowadays. If you don't like it we can get rid of it.

the black dude in the second pic looks like Leroy Colbert.
-
First pic: Don't know but looks like an old Italian sand & sandel flick, probably late 50's earily-mid 60's.
Second pic: Nicky Adams (who killed himself). Mickey Hargaty (misspelled name big time) married to Jane Mansfeild and who's daughter is doing very well on L&O SVU. Gentleman on the right looks a lot like the great Joe Louis though I'm probably wrong.
Side bar: speaking of sand & sandel pic's anyone know what happened to Gordon Scott? He played Tarzan for awhile. Lot of the old timer BB'ing vet told me that he had a greater natural potentional than Steve Reeves. Seen old pic's of him and his shoulder width was something else. As was his deep rib box and small waist. They tell me he workout lighly & did a lot of swimming. An old guy I used to know said he saw him a lot around the Bert Goodrich gym in Hollywood before he got into the business.
-
Wow yes it's Joe Louis and Mickey. I am really surprised you haven't figured out the first one. Please everyone post some pics of some legends for us to guess.
-
Ist pic is Brad Harris
-
Leroy Colbert ..... I believe I just ran into Leroy a few weeks ago. If it was him, he is owner/manager of a health food store just west a bit of Studio City about a mile or two west of the old Vince's Gym location.
I was in a rush to get back to the car which was illegally parked and intended to return for a short visit, but the opportunity to chat never arose again.
I am 99.9% sure it was Leroy. Anyone else know for certain?

If I am not mistaken he used to have ads in muscle and fitness with his pic and caption first man to build 20" arms....the ads were for his health food store, but don't remember where it was

I have heard that Leroy does have a health store in tat area-so you are right Stunt-now where is my muscle beach picture CD?
If I am not mistaken he used to have ads in muscle and fitness with his pic and caption first man to build 20" arms....the ads were for his health food store, but don't remember where it was
Leroy had massive guns in those ads. Him and Dave Draper back in the 60's and 70's ran Joe Weiders supplement/equipment warehouse together, they both worked for Joe in New jersey and both moved out to CA when Joe moved.
-
Okay who are these.
-
Even though some people think all the brothers look alike I'm still going with Joe Lewis in the first set of pictures. Colbert had pretty near 21" arms and that gentleman would have a noticeable bulge in his arm sleeve which he doesn't. He is also older looking for a younger Colbert at that time. That looks like some old studio PR or pub setup photo selling something or somebody. So they get the actor, fitness guy and ex boxer together for a shoot.
In the second set of pic that would be Zabo on the bottom. Top guy I do not know though I want to say a guy named Brown from Orange county. Forgot his first name. Is it Arron?
-
Yes it is Joe Louis the boxer with Mickey. Yes that Zabo (Chief), no not Brown
-
A couple of real oldies. Anyone know any of these guys, from the heyday
-
Issac (spelled wrong?) Berger jerking the bar...former Olympic games lifter. I was told he most always had sun glasses on like that other Olympic lifter Dave Ashman around Bergers time. Don't know the BB'er but he must be 75 years old now. No matter what year some women are still attractive.
Wait a minute isn't that a guy named Lentz or something like that?
-
Here's a big f ker for ya .....
-
that dude has a hell of a build, looks like a jacked up version of the Rock.
-
It's a young S.S.
-
It's a young S.S.

Yes, females, but must have big boobies...... ::)
-
Here's a big f ker for ya .....

-

Good call on the STockton's....can't verify if that is Tanny though....
-
yeah Pudgy Stockton was the only woman going back then. Sort of a Babe Dickenson (sp) of muscle beach era.
Actually Pudgy was not the only woman on the Muscle Beach scene back then. She was one of the three most popular though-the others were Paul Unger and Relna Brewer. They all did acrobatics, which was the main thing in those days, with weight training coming in second.
Paula also had a older sister named Rosalie and the both were very popular in the 40's and 50's.
But Pudgy and Paula were the big cheese's though for their day.
-
The two people who got me into the original World Gym were close friends of Joe Gold and used to perform at Muscle Beach and train at Gold's Gym back in 1966-1970. Rose and Dan Keller. He was built really good for a guy in his low 50's back then when I knew them. She was a stunning redhead with huge boobies and a really small waist. I remembered seeing old pics of them on the wall. They introduced me to Ron Depolito who I trained with at World's back in 79 to 81 or so. He drove a pink convertible corvette and was a pimp who got the bodybuilders girls for parties and such. He was a character. Allot like Don Ross.
-
do you have any stories about Don, Only?
-
There are actually a few stories about Don on the Stories board. Plus some pics of Don. Around pages 3 thru 10 I think. We did a Gillette commercial together in Puerto Rico where we shaved our heads. He was a frickin wildman.
I remember the Director asking me to settle Don down because Don insisted we have steak for lunch and refused to work another minute unless we got steak. Well we finished the shoot very full. Plus when we went out for lunch we had the guy shave our heads in weird patterns and all fucked up. SO we really looked like wild crazy guys.
-
The aau,nabba jacked up guy you were refering too was jerry scalesi or vince can't remember first name totally.most aau guy's from eighties to early ninetie's were all protege's off bob gruskin all had sick wheels,harrop,kutcurak,vic terra,king,dufrense.list goes on and on.
-
Vince Scalesi from Weider?
-
Took quick search at muscle memory i'm usually good at guess who anyway it's JERRY.
-
Can anyone name the exact date that Santa Monica Muscle Beach was "closed down"?
And the precise reason why the Santa Monica City Council made that decision to do so?
Would there still be records of that "decision" on file someplace?
Then how about the precise date that the "Pit" was open in Venice Beach? Who got that built, etc.
Thanks

It is in the history thread stunt. I pulled all that info from Harold Zinkin's book and psted it already. Was closed down in December 1959 over a sex scandel with 4 BBer's and 2 underage girls.
They have pics of the Venice Muscle Pit in the book Pumping Iron-that book was copyrighted in 1975-so it was before then. They re-did the Venice Beach pit about 10 years ago though and it is much better than Arnold's day.

Finally
-
the second pic looks like George Turner a little bit.

That guy on the far right is huge!
-
Don`t you remember these guys 619,the Czech team for the World Champs in the 70s,the guy you pointed out is Alois Pek.
-
Another excellent "Guess Who" Crownshep. I believe one of the photos is of the great Rock Stonewall. The Czech bodybuilders are Peter Stach, Robert Datlinger, and (I think) Libor Minarek.
-
Spot on with the guesses for the Czech team,heres one of Libor and those triceps.
-
Crownshep, again, thanks for posting the great side triceps photo of
Libor Minarek. Some time ago on another topic, there was a side tricep of Paul DeMayo posted. I immediately remembered the Libor photo. His tricep development and that photo always stood out to me. In addition, when thinking of tricep development, I think of a photo of Larry Jackson. I believe it was taken at the 1978 AAU Mr. America and reported in Muscle Training Illustrated. I cannot remember (getting old) for certain, but
Larry Jackson had some memorable upper body development at that competition.
-
You`re spot on about Larrys upper body Glowboy.He was always so close to winning the big one.
-

I remember Alois Pek.
-
Here's another one. But this time, who is it and WHERE was it taken? .....
-
Don't know who it is but it looks like it was taken on Mount Helix in San Diego County.
Definitly has a So Cal look to the desert/scrub scenery-might be AZ also.

I dont know any of them-but they look good-especially for the time period!
-
Here's another one. But this time, who is it and WHERE was it taken? .....
Ralph Kroger
(http://www.musclememory.com/magCovers/im/im3403.jpg)
How the hell would anyone know where it was taken ? :(

Ralph Kroger
How the hell would anyone know where it was taken ? :(
I was right-that was Mount Helix in San Diego County-in La Mesa east of San Diego-So I knew where it was taken, but only b/c I live in the area.....Kroger also did a bunch of photo shoots at Mission Beach where I used to live and Onlyme shot the movie "Dangerous Curves" in 1987.............
Leo Stern also has a bunch of pics from Mission beach......
-
Correct, that is Ralph Kroger.
Does anyone recall Ralph's little gym along the side of the Pacific Coast Highway back in the early 60's a few miles south of Oceanside?
Ralph closed that one up and opened another in Hilo, Hawaii which was not a real impressive place but he did business there for a good number of years until moving back to the mainland.
Any one have details on Ralph's life and whereabouts?

I just did a search under his name-if he is 67 y/o then he is living in Cherokee, Iowa.........

Sounds about right, Rules. He is probably a minister there today, but not positive about that.

Hello board
-
Hello board
Hello...Hello.....Hello-Hello....reminds me of the Three Stooges everytime I think of that!
-
Both are kinda simply for us older farts who read the Muscle mags of the era.
But I had to laugh at the early post that identified the black guy as Leroy Colbert.
First, Ab hanger designer Brad Harris w/hoe starlet. Second, Left to right,
actor Nick Adams (short, short guy), Mickey Haggerity and Leroy...I mean Joe
Louis.
I actually purchased an early athletic course (Bob Cousey, stars like that) who
endorsed this Sports Foundation training. Joe Louis was another one of their
prime stars. I got the first two courses, then quit, couldn't afford it (cheapie).
But, I wrote Joe Louis on the board, and he actually wrote me backand signed
his signature. I was a huge boxing fan and gave him some teenage adulation.
My parents threw my personal effects away when I joined the Corps. To this
day, I respectfully remind my mother of that.
-
I remember seeing Brad Harris for the first time. In very good shape for an older man. Really nice and talked to everyone. I had no idea who he was. The funny thing is that night I saw a movie and he was in it. Then I found out he was actually a very well versed actor and quite popular.

Roy Callendar on top.

What's that guys name......Scott Wilson or something.
-
The group shot is... Scott Wilson, Bobsomebody?, Lance Dreher & AS.
-
What's that guys name......Scott Wilson or something.
Yeah-Scott Wilson.
Scott was on the Nautilus Paroll thanks to Arthur Jones in the late 70's, and then Ed, Tim and Grymko bought out Gold's in 79- and in late 1980/early 81 Ed opened San Jose, right after he opened San Francisco Gold's and had Scott runing Gold's San Jose with Steve O' Brien........
Scott was like Aaron Baker-always under rated and never received the kind of placings he deserved....
-
Yep Roy Callendar and underrated Scott Wilson.
Oke another one
