Dick Tyler Iron Memories, Part Two

Product Description

Dick Tyler Bodybuilding History – Iron History – Muscle Beach Stories

Dick Tyler lived the iron history many love to read about, and in this recording, part two, he tells of his experiences of Muscle Beach in the late ’50s and the early bodybuilding shows of the ’60s. We hear his memories of the old-time strongmen, the heroes of the origins of bodybuilding, Joe Weider and much more.

“The important thing is that we have a very beautiful history, a beautiful background. It’s not a freak show. It’s not a bunch of muscle-bound people without any brains. We have wonderful and bright people who have been bodybuilders in all different professions. They wanted to be better at doing something they enjoyed.”~Dick Tyler
