Hail to the Dinosaurs!
If tweets and tweeting had been around in the old days, who knows what might have happened?
With that in mind, here are my nominations for the Top 10 Tweets from the Golden Age of Might and Muscle:
10. Training today – need another 2,000 pounds of pig iron for the backlift. – Louis Cyr
9. Bent press day – Eugene Sandow afraid to lift w/ me. – Arthur Saxon
8. Too busy making million clams posing to lift with Saxon. – Eugene Sandow
7. That darn John Grimek ate 12 pork chops and didn’t leave any for anyone else. – Harry Paschall
6. Yeah, but they were small pork-chops! – John Grimek
5. Training to break 1,000 pounds in total – gotta push it. –Steve Stanko
4. Steve Stanko clean and jerked 370 for 10 singles today. Told him he was training too heavy. He says “But, Bob – 370 is a LIGHT weight!” – Bob Hoffman
