William Smith, Draper, Scott, Rick Wayne. Lots of guys were introduced to BB thru Weider adverts in comics, which was smart marketing. Perfect fit with superheroes; those BBs looked like the real thing.

Arnold of course was the first BB in print that caught my attention.

Lou with the Incredible Hulk series & the fact the Incredible Hulk was my favorite comic as a kid.


Then when I saw Kaz on WSM.

I first started lifting cause my baseball coach said I didn't make the varsity baseball team because I needed to get bigger.  I weighed 130 as a freshman trained all summer and by the next baseball season was 175.
