hoffman was pretty predjudiced to say the least and was heard to say he only wanted white mr america's which held true till chris dickerson became the jackie robinson of bodybuilding. he didn't like bodybuilding that much and pushed the weightlifting, having the bodybuilding contest take place only after all the lifting was done. he eventually got sick of the whole iron scene and during his last years was enamoured with softball.

well you know what Funky as a kid i had an air pump for blowing up an air matress, taped the nozzle so the air came out slower and i pumped this thing non stop and i got results..not really Isometrics but Isotonics. still i remember seeing small "wings" in the mirror from my efforts ..lol. Later i had a Bullworker and curled an old rusty iron bar...great memories.
