Muscles in the Military

Hail to the Dinosaurs!

Today is Veteran's Day in the USA,
so I want to begin by giving a big
shout out to all of the Dinos who
have served their country -- or
who are doing so now.

To all of you, THANK YOU for your
service!

In honor of the day, I thought I'd
share some fun facts about muscles
in the military.

1. The famous old-time strongman,
Clevio Massimo, once performed the
manual of arms using a 125-pound
soldier instead of the rifle normally
used for the drill.

2. Bob Hoffman was an infantry
soldier in World War One, and
was in the thick of the fighting
in France. Think how the Iron
Game would have changed if
he had been killed in action.

3. Norb Schemansky fought in
Germany, and found a 400-pound
Berg-Hantel barbell set after a
battle. He tried to take it with
him, but it was too heavy and
he had to leave it behind.

4. The German Strongman, Herman
Goerner, was a prisoner of war during
World War One. He trained in the prison
camp with a barbell made from logs.

5. During World War Two, Strength
and Health ran a regular series about
barbell men in the armed services,
and included photos of their "gyms"
featuring homemade barbells and
dumbbells assembled from tires
sheet metal, cogwheels, pipes
and axles.

a. In other words, where there's a
will, there's a way!

6. George Eiferman, the 1948 Mr.
America, served in the Navy and
trained his legs while on ship by
climbing tall ladders from the cargo
hold to the deck -- while carrying a
100 pound sack of flour on his
shoulders.

7. Frank Spellman landed on the
Normandy Beaches and fought with
the Allied Army in France and Germany.
One night, as he was sleeping, a German
tank rolled right over him while he was in
his fox-hole! Luckily, he was not hurt --
and went on to win a gold medal in
weightlifting at the 1948 Olympics.

I know that some of our Dinos have
stories of their own about muscles in
the military. If you have one, send it
in so I can share it with your fellow
Dinos!

As always, thanks for reading and have
a great day. If you train today, make it
a good one!

Yours in strength,

Brooks Kubik
