Heart of Steel - the Dan Lurie Story

[funk51]

Funk
I recall in that very issue an article talking of CF eating a couple of Big macs, fries and cokes poolside in the very weeks leading up to the America
and he was ripped

musta been a walking pharmacy

                     don't forget lax  cf was an actual doctor and had access to anything he wanted drug wise. he could write his own rx's. some bodybuilders used to steal doctor's precription pads that way they had the keys to the candy store to.

[timfogarty]

Funk you say Hoffman mags but you know he kicked the bucket in 1985?

and had been in a nursing home with dementia (or at least senility) long before his byline stopped appearing on articles in S&H

[funk51]

is Kemper's Diamond Gym still kicking?

                it's still going strong but i think john and shirley kemper sold it. bill grant and some up and comers like taylor boyd still train there.

      yeah i know but once his mag always his mag. just like i know balik bought out ironman ions ago but you'll always associate im with the rader's  name.

[funk51]

minor point:  while really the same company, Strength & Health was Hoffman's mag, Muscular Development was Grimek's

              i know tim, it's just that i found it strange that a  hoffman pub. actually beat weider to the punch on this one. eesp considering how hoffman used to charge weider with publishing pornographic images in his mag. i liked how weider countered by saying the girls in york were so ugly that only joe dube would pose with them.

Yes, Tim

I recall back then even hearing that the publishers stalled on revealing his death so as to make it seem he was still in control...true or not, I do recall hearing that

I remember when Kemper would regularly place high in the America....never could annex it outright, though

I think he may have ended up winning the master's A

[funk51]

joe dube the only guy who would pose with girls from york.

I would imagine Joe's heart stopped on him quite some time ago...?

           joe dube is still alive at sixty five, and remains the last american to have won a world championship in olympic style lifting in poland 1969.

and finally  dr c.f.smith a bodybuilder after my own heart, because doctor smith recommended  eating whatever you wanted because a calorie is just a calorie according to dr smith, he  often indulged at mickie d's. if only this theory of his was true.

Damn great old mag covers got anyomre?
