Tom and Roy C
Roy Callender had been the owner several years prior during that peak time of his of that original gym I mentioned in the other post that I first joined in 1986. One of the guys I had befriended there who had his pics on the wall for winning the teen canada in 81 or 82 ish had been mentored/trained by roy(this was back in the day when owners/managers of gyms were more hands on and would help members with their goals usually without payment). Anyways he mentioned how Roy wouild come in during even the most shittiest winter weather, the kind where you had to put on multiple layers of clothing, being Montreal and all, remove all the snow from the car etc, come to gym, open up, train for hours(like 4-5 hours a day, he was known for long ass workouts) plus running the gym, wrap back up in the winter clothes, snow off the car, back in the shit weather and do it day after day after day during those competitive years.
Telling this second hand obviously, but the 4-5 hour training sessions and the layers of winter clothing/weather stick out 110% in my mind from what I was told.
But yeah, apparently Roy's work ethic in the gym was legendary and up there with all those guys back then. Seems like they followed the pattern of training, eat, sleep, drugs instead of the one today which seems to be drugs, eat, sleep, drugs, eat sleep, drugs eat sleep, then train
