Great Idea!!

My freind cleans carpets and an old lady who was widowed was throwing out a big box of magazines from the 40s and 50s. He got them to me.

Ive got alot of bob hoffman "Strength & Health"...when weider was a punk.

Young skinny bill pearl is in them....reg park too. n The box was full of old ironmans from the 50s......mint shape.

Back then "Peary rader" would send you a reciept of what ever equipment you had purchased....(as this old guy did)...it is typed on an old 30s typewriter i think.

I own almost every Strength and Health, Ironman, Your Physique, Muscle Power, Muscle Builder, etc. close to 3000 in total. The oldest is the July 1934 Strength and Health.

I haven't bought a current US magazine off the newstand since the late 1990s.

i have set of eugene sandow split grip dumbells from the 1890's. also the training manuals included with eugene demonstrating exercises and the box they were shipped from europe in back when they were new. true story.

I started training in 1970 so I have some Ironman, Muscular Development and Strength and Health that I bought. The very first magazine I bought was Strength and Health with Boyer Coe from 1970. I had a neighbor back then who had trained a little and gave me a box of the above publications dating back to 1965. Ironman was 35 cents an issue.

Did you pay for it... the mag I mean>?

Matt C · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2007, 03:06:23 PM »

I have a pretty big collection - a used bookstore in Thunder Bay sells them for $1 each and I usually buy tons when they get new stock in. My oldest issues are Musclemags from the seventies. I have several hundred magazines.

I used to buy quite a few of the new magazines and have a subscription to Musclemag. I haven't picked up many lately but only because I haven't gotten around to it. I usually buy every MD too. I like all the magazines for one reason or another although I haven't bought too many issues of Ironman, but that is not because I don't like Ironman but because they aren't carried at the stores I frequent more commonly.

I have a S&H from the thirties,lots of old Iron Man mags-1950`s,60`,70`s,and 80`s...some old MD`s from the 60`s through the 80`s and a bunch of MuscleMags from the 70`s and 80`s.

I even have some old Reg Park Journals that I bought off E-Bay, as well as some of the English mag,Health & Strength.

Lots more of the now defunct Muscle Digest,as well as Charlton publications,Muscle World,Bodybuilder,and Muscle Up.

Got lots of more recent ones also but stopped buying them a few years ago unless there is something in them that really interests me.
