In Jr. High my friends I go into weightlifting (OK, it didn’t last very long).

But we WORSHIPED Joe Weider. We bought all his products (that we could afford, anyway). He was our model.

One of my first jobs was working for his company. The place was a mess. They held their breath each week wondering if they would be able to pay their workers.

Wow, one of the giants of the fitness industry. May have seemed P.T. Barnum at times, but he was legit.
