  • John Grimek

    • There were few men more naturally impressive that John Grimek.

    It was no surprise why he graced the cover of a number of so many strength magazines throughout his life (The January 1940 Issue of Strength & Health pictured right.)

    Grimek had a physique better than any Greek statue but he was also a very accomplished Olympic Weightlifter, having represented the United States at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

    The foundation of his strength and physique development was intense squatting, as taught to him by Mark Berry.     		John Grimek Strength and Health MagazineJohn Grimek
