Dude,you were 9 fucking years  old.   ;D

You`d last 2 seconds in my hometown

I lived in Park slope Brooklyn for 5-8th grade. I then l lived in Manhattan after I got out of the army for several years on the UES.

Your family must have had serious coin to live in Manhattan. Everything costs a fortune.  $5000 a month will get you a one room closet to rent.

Good old Ed.......great guy.....RIP.  :(

Heard he said he made his equipment for teenagers and people with little money. It was strong equipment sold for for practically nothing. I bought that bench probably in 1974.  Still in service.

I got to know him pretty well.......our powerlifting team went to his shop and bought all new stuff from him for the YMCA gym we trained at.

He would always call me up onstage to do his odd lift contests even though I  never trained for them......I did OK too for the most part.

They filmed part of Pumpimg Iron at Mt. Park Amusement Center where Ed held all his contests for free......I made the movie and am in a crowd scene.......my claim to fame.  ;D

I met Arnold there,Franco,Louie,Katz,Warren Fredericks,Leon Brown,Bob Klez,Pete Caputo,Elliot Gilchrist,Joe Ugolik,The Mentzer brothers,Gene Massey,Skip Robinson,Marty Joyce,Tony Roma,Bill Mitchell,Ron Magnum,Len Archambault, and a slew of other guys.

Later on in life I had the honor to be in the same show as Gilchrist and Leon Brown.

Insanely awesome durable equipment as you know.......great guy.....great times.

I heard that also,but I believe he moved and manufactured it in another state.....not sure.

I had a Jubinville sweatshirt......I was in Florida took it off in a drunken fight and lost the damn thing.....I loved that fucking shirt.  :(

The shirt had the guy below hitting the double biceps shot on it and said "Jubinvilles Gym"



Ed died while working out.

Hope we don't die working out. I want to die in my sleep like my grandpa and not screaming like the passengers in his car.

This when you were poor, right?

Eating hot dogs? While your mom was a flight attendant and working on Wall Street

When did she works a flight attendant after work right?
