Joe Weider and My Great Honor…
Yesterday I was lucky enough to photograph the man who started it all, Joe Weider. Just as enthusiastic as you might want to experience, Joe Weider recounted his early days seeing Muscle Beach, bringing Arnold to the United States and so very much more. His excitement to this day about bodybuilding and weight lifting is as much as it was so many years ago. As a matter of fact, Mr. Weider was proud to tell us that he himself still lifts daily and curls 25 pound dumbbells.
This is a project that I can’t tell you much about right now. But I can tell you that it is a big one and if were not for BodyBuilding.com it would not be happening. It might be a while, maybe as much as a year or so. But this will be something very great. And I am so very proud to be a part of it. I will tell you more when I can, but I bet you will hear about it.
Thanks and keep coming back if you "Wanna See More…?"

I am sure you will share what you can. As a former submarine guy - I understand secrets. I hate waiting, of course
I am sure any project involving this icon will be very cool so keep us posted as you can!

As one of my regular fitness models always says… "I want patience and I want it now!"

I wish I was into Bodybuilding when I lived in California. I used to work at Litton in Woodland Hills and lived in Canoga Park for twenty years. I would have stopped by and tried to get a part-time job there. Dang..so close
