Two things I've done practically my whole life. My father, who from the early 1940's to the mid 1950's when he turned pro, had ther greatest amateur record of that era also was the first golfer to train with weights. While simultaneously competing in golf, he also lifted in competion in the early 1950's with a clean and jerk of 320 pounds, 510 pound deadlift and 400 squat while only weighing 175. These were pretty good lifts for a competitive golfer. No one really started weight training till decades later in conjunction with golf and I doubt anyone on the tour today could clean and jerk 320 pounds. He was also on the cover of an early version of Joe Weider's Muscle Builder in a physique shot. He kind of switched to a vegetarian diet and got pretty thin but here's a shot of him at 78 years of age. He had me lifting and playing golf since I was 6 years old. I've competed in bodybuilding and golf tournaments.
i read an article on your dad years ago. i can't remember what mag it was, but i definately still have it. i remember being amazed then, and still am. mighta been a Dan Lurie mag or an old MD. you must be pretty proud.
There was a good one in Musclemag International in the late 90's. You have a good memory(and a great physique).
whats your current handicap ? whats the lowest its ever been ?
wheres your pic stallion?
ya, now i remember. wasn't there a pic of him deadlifting with some odd sized plates?? he musta looked like a freak on the golfcourse back then. they talk about how big some of the young golfers are now at 160-170.one of Zuback's main competitors in the late 90's was former Mr. Cal Jerry James i believe.
perfect dude, tall, white, blonde and broad shouldered. im sure you wrecked a lot of teen pussy.
Not a great pic, was holding a bit of water here. From the Mr. West palm show a few years back, 3rd in the lightheavies.
remember Berry Demey's younger brother Jorgan(?). similar look, great structure.
I don't play a lot now, but I can shoot in the mid 70's usually. Back in high school and college, I was a scratch player (0 handicap for those who don't know) and had rounds in the 60's quite a bit. Probably should have pursued golf harder but my dad kind of forced it on me as a kid and that kind of turned me off to the game where I didn't practice hard enough. Was more into bodybuilding. Probably wasn't one of my smarter choices.

I think Joe is more of a "golf" guy than a "bodybuilding" guy at this point.
Thanks.
I'm definatly more of a golf guy. Nothing beats going out and playing golf with my kid a couple of times a week
I knew I'd get flack for that pic. But my dad is 78 there and eating only vegetables and he was still running marathons back then (he ran over 100). Not too many guys that age can do what he did. But I know this is GetBig so I probably shouldn't have bothered.
