great post gjoe, repped for that one mate
and i agree 110% about the kitchen statement, and unfortunately i know from experience how true it holds since the one thing holding me back is my diet, just cant get it right with no one to blame but myself unfortunately.
either way just wanted to say good post mate

A subject I know. I had the opportunity of working in with, not working out with, Steve when he would drop in at Bert Goodrich's Hollywood Heath Spa in the 50's. I was a skinny teenager trying to gain muscle for the high school wrestling team. He was a complete gentleman and liked to help kids like myself. His workouts were rather long and random. My favorite recollection is doing behind the neck seated Smith machine military presses with Steve and Bill Smith (the guy the machine was named after because he spent so much time with it). I also remember him doing very heavy leg presses, weighted chins and dips and one arm curls. The gym was crowded, hot, humid and dusty with chalk. No music allowed in those days. Just noisy bravado and klanking of iron. Oh, and no females, cardio or casual trainers anywhere...just muscleheads. Steve WAS the man in those days. Mickey Hargaty (the man Arnold played in his first movie break) was also a member.
