Thanks for posting this, Machinies. I had seen this years ago and am enjoying watching it again.
Your father was really something, pierini - Actually met the great Charles Atlas and was a personal friend of the legendary Tommy Kono!

Don’t believe I shared this before, but acquaintance of Bill Pearl when Bill lived in Sacramento and owned a gym. Those from that era who chased the iron had a great experience. |

Atlas was more impressive some years later:  This was from the UK ad. 13 Stone = 182 lbs. |

According to the text accompanying that photo, Atlas built his physique through hand-balancing, weightlifting and gymnastics. |

It looks like Google suspended the account that made the video, and youtube removed the video.  |
