I had the original Reeves issue when he won Mr America. Scan the mags and post some of those nice photos and covers here.

Or post them somewhere else at larger sizes. Flickr, etc.

SILK, See if you can find the Weider magazine that was the first of its kind to announce the use of roads for muscle growth.

It was mentioned in big bold lettters on the cover and was actually the start of roid use within the general weight lifting game.

But actually roads were somewhat common among the York group and a very limited number of others if my information from a very valid source is vaiid.

It would be interesting if you have that issue.

how many of the pages are "glued" together?

wes · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2015, 11:29:58 AM »

I had a ton of really old mags as a kid............bought them in a second hand bookstore,wish I had them now.

Clancy Ross
Grimek
Reeves
Dellinger
etc. etc.

All gone.

Slik,I believe that Funk has some original barbell plates from Zuvers gym if I`m not mistaken.

Silk, weren't some neighbors complaining about the Zuverman statue being out front of your gym?
Great stuff BTW. (Saw the pics on your site).
I spent some time with Robert Zuver at last years AOBS, I believe he will be there again in OCT...

u know what's hilsrious? The ONLY mag with a rip in it is pudgy stocktons it's ripped on the cover! I said looks like someone got too aggressive w that one ha!

ThAt cover was prolly pretty revealing for that time
