Clive Edwards 0 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 (edited) Hi, thanks for the welcome bit about myself ; Got into weights via a certain Mr C Atlas ! (my mum would buy me marvel comics went she went shopping) bought the course and a 9-10 year old started training. Then got interested in who he was (and Johnny Weissmuller). I had a feeling what i had was years old ! got into bodybuilding proper started buying the british mag bodybuilding monthly + flex+ mmi Came across the book "Barbells and Beefcake" and really got interested in iron history Continued training,got married,had kids,gave up training,started again,got struck by the dreaded big C,gave up training, recovered,started training again 2-3 months ago have lost 21 lbs of fat gained 2% muscle mass feel 20 again at age 46 ! Have started reading my old bb monthly ,h&s mags etc which has piqued my interest again. I think the aspect of iron history that interests me most are the people and there life stories although iam quite interested in the stories like the bodybuilder (cant remember who) who was challenged by a wrestler to a fight . the BB knocked him out . Stories like that interest me So interested in the golden age mainly but still interested in the likes of Jay Cutler etc Hope i can find something to offer that no one's seen/heard before ! As from what ive read it seems that everyone on here knows everything .....almost Clive Edited September 28, 2009 by Clive Edwards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have been re-reading some 1960s issues of H&S and there is a world of history that escapes America's notice at least in large part.Perhaps you can explain something to me:When I am filing the 'South East Counties" and the 'Northeast Counties' contests- which counties are referred to? Is it England or Great Britian or what? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it England or Great Britian or what? Thanks.Joe, It refers to English counties. So 'South East Counties" refers to Kent, Middlesex, East Sussex and Surrey (difficult to be exact as the names and boundaries might have changed), while the 'Northeast Counties' refer to counties in the north-east of England (Durham, Tyne and Wear, Northumberland). Scottish contests were held seperately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John McEneany 831 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Clive, I too am from the UK and also the S.E. part. I was born in Harrow not far from Watford which you no doubt know well. Back in the early sixties, I knew of no person who lifted weight other than myself. I knew of no gym within reach of where I lived so I trained at home in my bedroom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
