Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Just how strong were lifters “back in the day”?
What kind of weights did they handle in competition?
What could men lift when they lifted 100% natural,
with no drugs, no steroids and no chemicals?
How would YOU have done if you had been lifting back
in the Golden Age of Might and Muscle?
Check out the lifting results in the two hands clean
and military press from the 1939 Senior National
Weightlifting championships – and remember, these
are ultra-strict MILITARY presses:
132 lb. class
1. John Terry – 185 lb. press
2. Mike Mungioli – 175 lb. press
3. Ralph Scull – 165 lb. press
148 lb. class
1. Tony Terlazzo – 250 lbs.
2. Eddie Harrison 200 lbs.
3. John Dama – 220 lbs.
165 lb. class
1. John Terpak – 235 lbs.
2. John Terlazzo – 220 lbs.
3. Ed Tomalonis – 220 lbs.
181 lb. class
1. John Davis – 255 lbs.
2. Frank Kay – 240 lbs.
3. Gord Venables – 210 lbs.
Heavyweight class
1. Steve Stanko – 270 lbs.
2. Louis Abele – 265 lbs.
3. Dennis Schemansky – 240 lbs.
That’s some pretty impressive lifting – and all of
it the result of basic, hard, heavy training – the
kind of training we teach here at Dinosaur
Headquarters – and the kind of training that
gets GREAT RESULTS for dinosaurs around the world!
Yours in strength,
