    “LEGEND” DOESN’T DO HIM JUSTICE.

    There are lots of legends. Joe Weider is one of a kind—an unparalleled transformational figure. His impact on bodybuilding, publishing, and the fitness industry is immense, and it will reverberate long after he’s gone. Still, Joe Weider, the icon and oracle, has always insisted that every friend, employee, and fan call him Joe—as if he were ordinary. This is Joe’s extraordinary story.

    IRON

    The where is certain—Montreal, Canada. It’s the when that remains mysterious. Joe celebrated his birthday on Nov. 29, and for most of his life, 1922 was declared his first year; but devoid of records, neither the day nor the year is certain. (Later records choose either 1920 or 1922.) He is the second-oldest surviving child of Jewish- Polish immigrants Louis and Anna, following brother Louis (who died before turning 30) and preceding brother Ben and sister Freda.

    “The immigrants brought so much of their homelands with them that we lived in a transplanted European ghetto,” Joe said of the Jewish neighborhood of his youth. His father toiled in a garment factory, and Joe also seemed destined for a career of menial labor when, after the seventh grade, he quit school to help support his family by delivering groceries. Self-conscious about his meager formal education, he read all he could, especially on philosophy and history. A scrawny kid, he was sometimes the target of bullies, so he was intrigued when he spotted a muscle magazine in a bookstore. As future generations would upon discovering one of his publications, he bought it and read it again and again, studying its secrets while dreaming of expanding his own body. The flame was lit.

    “One day he came back, and he brought this axle from a train and some wheels,” Ben remembered. A rail yard worker had welded flywheels to an axle so Joe could exercise with the approximately 75-pound bar. “If you’re born to the iron, you know it the first time you lift a weight. I knew it,” Joe said. Unable to afford a set of adjustable weights, he purchased one on layaway. Soon, he was winning weightlifting contests, and when a primitive gym opened in Montreal, he joined. “I took up bodybuilding because I was weak and frightened,” he said. “Weights made me strong, made me secure in myself, and really made me feel special.”

    MAGAZINE

    He toiled in the dark. Beneath a sheet draped over him and illuminated via flashlight, he pecked at a rented typewriter with his index fingers. His mother didn’t want her kitchen table converted into a desk, so he waited until she was asleep. In the summer of 1940, Joe created his first magazine. “You will, no doubt, think us ambitious. Well, so we are!” he proclaimed in the premiere issue of Your Physique, never letting on that “we” was him under several bylines. He wrote every article and drew every illustration. He cranked out the pages on a rented mimeograph machine and spread the wet paper around the house to dry. Postcard announcements were mailed to Canadian strength enthusiasts, but it was after the issue circulated in gyms that subscriptions poured in.

    Joe continuously improved his creation. In the first year, he incorporated photos, professional typesetting and printing, the work of expert writers, and color covers. “He went to the American News, walked in the front door, and they threw him out. And he came in the back door, and they threw him out,” sister Freda remembered of her older brother’s persistence. “And finally they said, ‘We have to see this younger man. He’s so insistent.’ They saw him, and they took on the magazine.” Thus, Your Physique was disseminated by North America’s largest magazine distributor.

    In 1942, Joe began selling Weider-brand weight sets and other exercise equipment, which he advertised in his own magazine. He remained a one-man company. A foundry dropped off the forged metal, and he assembled and packed everything himself— at his parents’ house. Weider corporate headquarters relocated only from the kitchen to the living room. In 1945, Joe launched a second bodybuilding magazine, Muscle Power. Both of his publications emphasized photography and design superior to their competition. Joe learned publishing via trial and error and by studying the most successful magazines of the era.

    FEDERATION

    Bodybuilding contests through the ’40s were mere adjuncts to weightlifting meets and, in North America, were under the control of Bob Hoffman and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). In 1946, Joe and Ben Weider promoted the AAU Mr. Montreal. Unlike other AAU events, which were typically held in high school auditoriums, the Weiders’ contest was staged in Quebec’s best theater. The brothers hired musicians and a popular guest poser, and they printed programs. The 1,500 tickets sold out, and more than 80 bodybuilders entered. But minutes before the first pose was to be struck, word came from the AAU that the show’s sanction had been revoked.

    Joe was livid, but as the audience clamored for a contest, he and his brother made a monumental decision. Forget the AAU. “As of this moment, we have our own governing body,” Joe told the assembled bodybuilders. “We’re calling it the International Federation of Bodybuilders, and it’s going to make bodybuilding bigger and better than ever.” Not one competitor withdrew. The show went on without a hitch. The IFBB was born, and bodybuilding took a giant leap forward, freeing itself from weightlifting’s shadow.

    EXPANSION

    Joe’s business outgrew not just his parents’ house but his native country. The circulations of Your Physique and Muscle Power outpaced the capacities of Quebec printers, so, for more than a year, Joe regularly journeyed across the border to have his magazines printed in the States. In 1947, he moved near the worldwide capital of publishing, New York City. (Ben stayed in Montreal and focused on expanding the IFBB.) While Joe lived in Manhattan, Weider Publishing was nearby in New Jersey. “An office is beautiful because you do beautiful work in it,” he explained. “In that sense, the dump in Jersey was a palace. The magazines got better and better.”

    He worked for 10 hours or more daily, so it’s little wonder his first marriage was strained. But that wasn’t its only problem. Joe remembered, “Just a few weeks after the [1947] wedding, I knew the marriage was a mistake. I think my wife [Diana] knew it, too. But our misery went on for years and years.”

    Your Physique stopped in 1952 to make way for Muscle Builder the following year. Fighting for attention on crowded newsstands, Muscle Power and Muscle Builder covers screamed out with such jarring headlines as “STOP BEING A PHYSICAL DWARF” and “HEY SKINNY! Are They Laughing at You?” daring you not to turn the page. The formula worked so well that Joe branched out into other areas, launching Boxing and Wrestling, Inside Baseball, and Inside Sports. Then came men’s adventure magazines, including Fury, Safari, and Outdoor Adventures, which sported attention-snatching cover lines like “I WATCHED MYSELF BEING EATEN ALIVE!” There were groundbreaking women’s exercise magazines, and there were cheesecake and beefcake pulps. By the late ’50s, Weider Publications was producing more than a dozen titles monthly. “In some respects, a magazine is a magazine is a magazine, whatever the subject matter,” Joe stated. “And my hands-on touch, which pulled in readers for my muscle magazines, worked in every genre I got into.”

    DEVASTATION

    The war between AAU head honcho Bob Hoffman and Joe Weider raged— sometimes via lawsuits, but mostly in the pages of their respective magazines. Hoffman’s relentless rants against Joe were often personal and anti-Semitic, and his Strength and Health ridiculed the same small-waist, broad-shoulder archetype that Muscle Power and Muscle Builder championed. This was to the muscle magazines’ benefit because more people wanted to look like sculpted bodybuilder Steve Reeves than rotund weightlifter Paul Anderson. Meanwhile, the Weider brothers continued to grow the IFBB—which focused only on physiques, unlike Hoffman’s AAU—and that in turn inspired top bodybuilders to appear only in Weider magazines.

    Joe eventually won the war with Hoffman, but another industry force devastated his business. In 1958, American News was taken over by financiers who promptly sold the company’s warehouses located in prime urban locations. Overnight, the country’s largest magazine distributor was liquidated. Weider Publications was printing more than two million issues per month when those numbers plummeted to zero. The sudden inability to publish while debts mounted nearly forced the company into bankruptcy. Instead, Joe folded every publication except Muscle Builder and Mr. America. (The latter had just replaced Muscle Power and covered bodybuilding as well as men’s lifestyle issues.)

    “I’ll never know the exact total of my losses, which went into the millions,” Joe stated. “I had to quit publishing all the magazines that I had added with encouragement from American News. But I would not give up my muscle magazines, not as long as I lived and breathed. Somehow I managed to keep those magazines alive.” Rather than declare bankruptcy, he made settlements with entities he owed.

    One great thing did happen for him in 1958—his daughter, Lynda, was born. The following year, he separated from his wife of 12 years. At the dawn of the ’60s, Joe had rescued his business and refocused it on his first love: bodybuilding. Another enduring love story had just begun.

    RENAISSANCE

    The former Betty Brosmer, one of the top models of the late ’50s, recalls that she and Joe shared a love of philosophy, antiques, and art. At first, there was only a business relationship—she modeled for his magazines. But a friendship formed. “We had a lot in common. And one night we had dinner, and he reached across the table and held my hand, and sparks flew,” she remembered. Their romance blossomed and grew. Divorces were difficult to attain then, so Joe moved to Las Vegas temporarily to legally terminate his first marriage. There, on April 24, 1961, Joe and Betty wed. (The gambling capital retained a special place in their hearts, and they later purchased a luxury condominium there.)

    Rebuilding his business after the distribution disaster, Joe introduced new equipment and nutritional supplements, and he refocused on improving his two muscle magazines. (A third magazine, All-American Athlete, dedicated to sports training, launched in August 1963 and lasted until October 1969.) “With staffing cut back, I was like a publishing oneman band, doing practically everything cover to cover,” he recalled. “I wrote and designed all the ads and wrote a lot of the articles under various bylines. Sometimes I posed for pictures, too. I put Betty’s pictures everywhere—sometimes with dark-colored wigs and disguises so the readers wouldn’t know she was the same model they’d just seen a few pages back.”

    OLYMPIA

    As a Jewish immigrant, Joe Weider knew the sting of bigotry and was thus determined to fight it. One of his most commendable legacies was the groundbreaking color-blind treatment of nonwhite athletes on the stages of the IFBB and the pages of Weider magazines. This is most evident in the contest placings of African-American Harold Poole, who, despite having the superior physique, was second twice in the AAU Mr. America (no black man won that contest until 1970) before jumping to the IFBB and promptly winning its 1963 Mr. Universe. The following year, he won the IFBB Mr. America.

    Poole defeated Larry Scott in the 1963 Mr. U. Absent Poole, Scott took the title in 1964. This raised an obvious question—which Mr. Universe winner was better? Whatever the federation, the Mr. U was then the ultimate title, and once a bodybuilder attained it he had little reason to continue competing. When 26-yearold Scott dined with Joe and Betty, he lamented his inevitable early retirement, and Betty began talking about a long-gestating idea for a new professional championship open to all major title holders. “Larry got excited about Betty’s idea, and I knew the time had come,” Joe remembered. “For the likes of him and the future of bodybuilding, there would be a new champion’s championship.”

    As fate would have it, Joe was drinking a rare beer at that dinner, and his eyes settled on the Olympia beer bottle. That’s it! Heroic, mythic, celestial—Mr. Olympia. That moment was a turning point from the confusing titles and scant rewards of the past to the prestige and paydays of the future. Sixteen months before Super Bowl I, on Sept. 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Larry Scott won the inaugural Mr. Olympia. Poole was second. The modern era of bodybuilding began.

    ARNOLD

    Though it moved twice, Weider Publishing headquarters remained in Union City, NJ. Still, it had a West Coast office in Santa Monica, CA, which, with the opening of the first Gold’s Gym in neighboring Venice in 1965, was at the forefront of muscle. Weider photo shoots occurred at the beach, and throughout the ’60s, Joe’s magazines became increasingly synonymous with California sunshine and a perpetual holiday in what looked like paradise when viewed on a bleak winter day in New Jersey—or in a small mountain village in Austria.

    In that village lived a muscular phenom with a peculiar name. After winning the 1967 NABBA Mr. Universe at 19, Arnold Schwarzenegger became the talk of bodybuilding. In 1968, he adorned his first Weider cover and entered his first Weider contest. On Sept. 28, backstage at the Miami Auditorium, hours before the IFBB Mr. Universe, 21-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger met Joe Weider, the man he would come to think of as his second father. Arnold didn’t win the show (Frank Zane did), but his boundless potential won over the publisher. “He had the mind of a champion, he had the heart of a champion, and I figured that he could be a star, and being a star, he would help the sport,” Joe said of Arnold.

    Arnold recalled: “He always would say, ‘Arnold, I want you to be the best and the smartest bodybuilder of the whole world. I see fire in your eyes. I see the competitive spirit in your eyes. That is what I want. And this is why I’ll help you. You’ll come to California, I’ll take care of your apartment, and I’ll give you some spending money so you can live; and all you have to do is train, train, train and beat everyone.’ ”

    Arnold was on eight Weider magazine covers over 16 months between July 1969 and December 1970. Articles were penned under his name. Though the advice was his, a writer (often Joe himself) structured and typed it. To get Arnold’s training and nutrition tips, as well as photos of his ever-expanding physique, you needed to buy Muscle Builder or Mr. America. Interspersed with the articles, the future seven-time Mr. Olympia appeared in advertisements for Weider training equipment and supplements. Arnold has, so far, appeared on the cover of a Weider muscle magazine 68 times, including the February 2013 issue of Muscle & Fitness.

    ICON

    The most prominent name in the Weider magazines was Joe Weider. He was editor and writer and also the ubiquitous pitchman of training courses and products like Power Twisters, Killer Karate Krushers, and Muscle Density RX7. In 1970, Sports Illustrated ran a lengthy profile of Joe, proclaiming he had “replaced Charles Atlas as the world’s No. 1 bodybuilder.” Think of muscles and you thought foremost of Joe Weider. The man, then known as the “Master Blaster” and “Trainer of Champions,” had reached the rarefied status of icon.

    “Bodybuilding is about getting bigger, so I had to be a little bit bigger than life,” Joe wrote in his and Ben’s co-autobiography Brothers of Iron. “What I did, philosophically speaking, was to create a Platonic ideal of myself and make exciting images of this ideal to catch and hold the attention of millions of people so I could educate them about bodybuilding and provide products they required. The ideal was a lot like reality, because I was a muscle man and I truly deserved my titles Trainer of Champions and Master Blaster. All my life I followed my own advice, working out and watching my diet and health, and I loved bodybuilding with all my heart. If I didn’t walk the talk, as they say, people would have turned away from me long ago.”

    Joe’s most distinctive physical characteristic appeared beneath his nose and over his upper lip sometime in 1970, and has remained there, almost continuously, ever since. Millions of people who couldn’t name the current Mr. Olympia knew Joe Weider—the man behind all those weight sets and muscle magazines—by his mustache. To those who’ve heard Joe speak, however, he has a greater distinguishing attribute—his voice. For the writers, photographers, and bodybuilders he worked with, mimicking Joe’s French-Canadian accent and pleasantly honking tone proved irresistible. Even Arnold has trouble quoting Joe without imitating Joe.

    RISE

    After 25 years in New Jersey, the Weider Publishing offices moved to suburban Los Angeles in 1972. Eventually, the atrium and Joe’s office at Weider headquarters in Woodland Hills became a virtual museum, filled with antiques, art, and bodybuilding treasures. The transplant from the East Coast was especially fond of paintings and sculptures depicting scenes from the Old West. Shortly after the move, Mr. America folded, leaving Muscle Builder/Power (renamed in 1968) as the only Weider publication. For the first time since his initial years of publishing, Joe was able to focus on a single magazine for an extended period. The magazine incorporated more scientific research and codified Joe’s tenets of resistance training. The Weider Principles have had a major, enduring impact on the way people work out. Muscle Builder/Power grew in prominence throughout the ’70s—both following and leading the rising interest in weight training.

    One catalyst for that rise was the seminal documentary Pumping Iron, released in 1977, briefly featuring Joe Weider. The movie captured the same evocative milieu (Gold’s Gym and Southern California) and characters (Arnold and those chasing him) that Muscle Builder/Power showcased. The 1975 Mr. Olympia contest featured in Pumping Iron was Arnold’s sixth consecutive Olympia victory. “We developed this kind of father/son relationship,” Arnold said of his ongoing personal and business connections to Joe during the ’70s.

    WOMEN

    By the late ’70s, even more women were taking up weight training, and Joe Weider was on the vanguard of the movement. When Muscle Builder/Power launched a women’s section in February 1979, Joe editorialized, “It doesn’t take an Equal Rights Amendment to convince us women want to be bodybuilders just like men…Our intended expansion will accommodate them psychologically, socially, cosmetically, and editorially. They need us, and we need them. Welcome, ladies!”

    The inaugural IFBB Ms. Olympia was held in 1980, the same year Muscle Builder/Power (after a one-year run as Muscle) became Muscle & Fitness, signifying a more inclusive focus. At the dawn of the ’80s, women bodybuilders were at the center of a cultural zeitgeist, but the wider female public was still underinformed about effective workouts and meals. “Joe, you have to do something for women,” Betty told her husband. “We need to tell them, in an intelligent way, everything about the whole fitness lifestyle.” Thus Shape magazine launched in September 1981. After some initial struggles, Shape soared, eventually becoming Weider Publications’ most widely read magazine. Joe later wrote: “Like our women’s competitive bodybuilding, Shape helped redefine beauty and change how women look at themselves.”

    ZENITH

    Joe, who had long self-published instructional booklets, began authoring or co-authoring how-to books like 1981’s Bodybuilding: The Weider Approach and 1983’s The Weider System of Bodybuilding, which were produced by mainstream publishers. His many training manuals came to dominate the workout sections of bookstores. In 1983, he received the prestigious Publisher of the Year award from the Periodical and Book Association of America for his contributions to the magazine industry. Confessing to a certain shyness, Joe said, “I was proud and gratified, but the whole thing made me feel sort of odd. Instead of going east to accept the award, I made some excuse and stayed home.”

    Also, in 1983, he launched a new magazine, FLEX, focused only on bodybuilding. Joe said, “In FLEX, the bigger and the more extreme the better.” In 1987, he started Men’s Fitness (originally Sport Fitness) as sort of the male counterpart to Shape—a more mainstream magazine focused on fitness and health. Weider’s publications in the ’80s were at the forefront of a workout revolution.
    The once-underground activity of lifting weights to alter one’s physique was by then thoroughly mainstream, in large part due to Joe Weider. Around the globe, Weider magazines, nutritional supplements, and workout products were the gold standard. Annual Weider revenues increased 100-fold from $5 million in 1980 to approximately $500 million in 1989.

    New magazines launched: Fit Pregnancy in 1993 and Muscle & Fitness Hers in 2000. Joe also recognized the promise of the Internet early on: M&F started a website in 1996, and FLEX followed in 1997. From an expanding family of fitness magazines to the latest technology to sports nutrition advances, Joe forever embraced the new.

    Still, he could be wistful about the ’70s when he moved to California and his one magazine was focused on bodybuilding. In 1996, he recalled those halcyon years, “We had a lot of fun. I used to be in the gym training with the guys. We worked on the [Weider] Principles. Now, I’m a businessman, and I can see the change taking place in me, and I hate that, because I love being in the gym, working out with the guys. That’s my first love.”

    TWILIGHT

    Joe sold his magazines to American Media, Inc., in November 2002. “When it’s time, it’s time,” he later said. (The Weiders sold their workout equipment company in 1994 but maintained their nutritional supplement company.) Still, for years afterward, Joe showed up almost daily to his office at Weider Publishing headquarters, consulting with the editors of the magazines he had conceived.

    “I love magazines, every single thing about them—words, pictures, color, design, ads,” he wrote in Brothers of Iron. “I love the feel of paper and the smell of ink. And I love what a magazine can do for people. There’s nothing in the world like it. Nowhere else does a few bucks buy so much information and food for thought, entertainment, and beauty. In my magazines, you also get a crash course in exercise and health and how to get more out of life. The cover prices are many times what they used to be, but the value is still amazing. Spend less than $5 on a magazine and you get material worth a fortune.”

    On July 9, 2007, the President’s Council of Physical Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition awarded Joe its lifetime achievement award, and California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who immigrated to America and settled in California with the help of his “second father,” declared it Joe Weider Day. Four years later, on July 21, 2011, the Joe and Betty Weider Museum of Physical Culture opened at the University of Texas. Joe and Betty donated $2 million and numerous items to the museum.

    EPILOGUE

    It’s appropriate that his story has no set beginning be cause it’s difficult to imagine a time when Joe wasn’t among us. His influence is everywhere. It persists in the Mr. Olympia and female Olympia contests; in the International Federation of Bodybuilders, which modernized physique competitions; in the nutritional supplements and workout equipment that bear his name; in the proliferation of women in gyms; in the numerous books he wrote, co-wrote, or edited; and in the magazines he created and nurtured. It will continue long after he’s gone within men and women building their bodies around the globe—from physique leg ends to youngsters grabbing their first dumbbells. Joe Weider is an icon, a visionary, and a trailblazer, the likes of which we will never see again.

    But he has never reveled in such praise. In recent years, when awards and applause were bestowed upon him at public appearances, he preferred to be at his desk, contemplating stories and photos. And he was happier still amidst barbells and benches with people who were “born to the iron.” Two days after the 2009 Mr. Olympia, FLEX held a photo shoot in a Las Vegas gym with all the Weider-sponsored bodybuilders. Among them were the new Mr. Olympia, Jay Cutler and future Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath. But the biggest star was Joe Weider. Every champ was honored and thrilled to be in Joe’s presence, and yet he was equally delighted to be in theirs.

    When Joe spoke alone to Jay Cutler, it wasn’t about the empire he built or the fortune he made or the fitness revolution he fostered. It was about his teenage weightlifting prowess back in Montreal seven decades prior. Those were his fondest memories. The workouts then were the secret to his success later. Joe Weider, the father of modern bodybuilding, knows firsthand the transformational power of iron, and he’s never forgotten that his life changed forever for the better in the magical moment he opened a bodybuilding magazine. Replicating that was what he dedicated his life to. In all corners of the world, Joe Weider transformed the lives of millions.

    Everything you need to know about the life of Joe Weider (and his brother Ben) is in their book, BROTHERS OF IRON. It's a must-own and a must-read for any fan of bodybuilding.
    "Optimum Nutrition fan and endorser."

    If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the heart of bodybuilding, Joe Weider is the soul. If Arnold Schwarzenegger is the king of bodybuilding, Joe Weider is the God.

    Been into bodybuilding since 1991, non-stop and constant.

    I looked 10 years younger for my age the day I turned 33. The pattern remains the same every year. But I want to look 80 like Sean Connery.

    I practice science, art, sport and philosophy, therefore, I'm a bodybuilder.

    I agree 100%! Even though I never got to meet Joe, my dad did and said Joe treated him with respect and like he really was a friend. My dad got us both a copy of that book and had it autographed. Loved every page. From watching Youtube vid interviews with Joe recently, you can just hear his voice in every word in the book and you get the sense that he really was pouring his heart out in it. I haven't heard many interviews with Ben, but I'm sure it was the same for him.
