It's ironic that JP's isometric book favorably referenced Steve Justa and others who performed nonJP-like isometrics .

You can see in some of the photos in the Iron Isometrics book with Steve doing the exercises with a smoke in his mouth (looks like what we used to call a cigarillo) or between his fingers.

....and the improvements he's made on Steve Justa's methods that he teaches. Nothing else comes close. Didn't Justa say everything he knew he learned from Swoboda, or was that someone else?

According to G Gordon Anderson, noted historian of such things, it was Charles Atlas who uttered those famous words.

The obituary did say that he died of cancer. Yes it did. There's quite a few photos of Steve with a smoke in his mouth, or in his fingers in his Iron Isometric book. Of course, he might not have been actually tensing into the demonstrated holds while being photographed, but if that was a custom of his, to smoke while he was iso-holding, then it seems that inhaling tobacco smoke when the body needs fresh air while under tension can't have been good for him.

Spent my lunch break today wobbling small trees stood at various angles in memory of the high plains heavy metal ironmaster.

Yes a wonderful uber-arbour workout in memory of a guy who made great contributions to overcoming isometrics, and one of the strongest in the world.
Did you have a smoke in your mouth as well, Dave ?

No, I decided not to incorporate bits of his routine that I didn't find useful (smoking, belief in ancient aliens, poor arithmetic), I'm a bit like Bruce Lee that way.

If you want to do some browsing, use search function on this forum for "Justa" and set the date parameter for earlier than the "..... passed away" thread to exclude it.
PS: Only use "Justa" in the search. Otherwise, if you include "Steve" - there are many, many "Steve"s, but only one "Justa".

I'm still hoping someone somewhere has a copy of Steve Justa's High Plains Heavy Metal Iron Master Super Strength Bible they can share. Here's one of the key pages someone else posted:
