the guy in the pic above wasn't even the best bodybuilder in his own town of perth amboy nj. that honor went to john grimek. lurie encountered this guy in the mr america contest. steve stanko had to be placed on the posing dais because he had bad legs he nevertheless won the contest.

hey Funk
please clarify that statement...

the contest was contested in a boxing ring guys had to climb into the ring to pose, when stanko's turn came the lights went out and stanko appeared in the ring, because he had plebitis and wasn't able to climb into the ring on his own. john grimek and steve stanko were both from perth amboy new jersey hard to believe that two mr a were from such a small area. both guys worked for york barbell.

than read this book.

I read part of this book. It's such bullshit. Joe Weider wrote that Arnold and Franco used to train light on arms where they would use 40 pound dumbells for alternate curls. Allthewhile he was using the 70s and so they got stronger from following his example.

Thats very interesting. Didnt know this, was it a guarded secret ?

He had leg development, how did this condition (the advanced varicose/phlebitis) affect training, could he train legs, or did it come late in career?

i read that when Vince met Arnold he was told ' this is Arnold S. Mr. Universe'. Vince replied 'yeah, well he looks like a fat fuck to me!'

LurkyLurker · « **Reply #170 on:** July 28, 2009, 05:40:08 PM »

Vince forbade guys from doing squats in his gym, so much so that he'd kick them out if they ever tried. That, coming from a guy with pencil thighs...

some but not all, i always tell people to go to your sites esp musclememory.com best history site out there. only giving credit where credit is due. plus i'm way too lazy and computer illiterate to scan and duly shrink all my mags and books to post. pic of bob galluci said to be a natural?
