Rumor has it they called him the blonde bomber because Draper would stand elevated 5 feet over "customers" and bomb their chest. Lee Priest eventually inherited the name which segwayed into "the blonde myth" because it had been a good 20 years since another "Blonde bomber" came onto the scene. Tip Dujour gentleman. Enjoy.

Dave Draper is a friend of mine as well as a primary inspiration along with Reeves and Arnold for my having started weight training. The term "Blonde Bomber" is a variation on the one given to the late actress Jean Harlow, aka "The Blonde Bombshell". It was/is based on his blonde, All-American good looks and most definitely not upon some scatological fantasy as presented by the author of this thread.

Bar took a set from being left loaded on narrow uprights for too long. Most old equipment was very narrow, and when you'd leave a bar loaded for a few days, they'd take a bit of a set at the ends, then they'd usually get moved to the squatting area where the bend didn't matter as much, and it would get worse over time.
Most new equipment is built very wide now, so it's less of a problem.
Also, in powerlifting lifting gyms the bars were sometimes bent like that for comfort, as it allowed you to take a wider, lower grip that felt better for the shoulders, particularly with larger and taller men.
Here's a new version -

Yup. The bar in the squat rack at Stern's Gym in San Diego was cambered. Worked great too.

Just a shitty flimsy bar. One time I was dead lifting and was using a flimsy bar. Gym was packed so I had no choice really, so I do 1 plate, 2 plates, 3 plates, 4 plates for warm up then slap on 6 and a 25 for a triple or so I thought. after the first rep went up plates started to slide off, lol, that`s how much it was bending. So I threw it down and we started laughing.

Tom Platz used to bend the bars on purpose. He said it was better to squat with a bent bar.
