    Part I (January 2012)

    ...By the time they got home, they had covered over 3000 miles and had put on thirty exhibitions. And they wore out a new set of tires. Little wonder, with such a load. Grimek said they carried so much weight that the big car set low like a sports car and was a lethal force with the 400 lbs suspended on the front bumper.

    Part II (March 2012)

    ...Barski was all grins as he stepped up to the bar for his final lift with the same weight. But what he didn’t realize was that Tommy had spent a good bit of time practicing this move in the York Gym when no one was around before he tried it in public. And he had told me that it was not easy to do. It was a great deal more complicated than it looked. This was something that Barski figured out that day, and almost too late.

    Man, I love these articles by B. Starr. Who would have guessed that Bill March was such a solid all-around athlete and Bob Bednarski was not?!

    These insights into what really occurred during the York era are fascinating.

    I agree and love reading about the "real" Bob Hoffman. What a character.
