  • Steve Stanko
  • On April 19, 1941 Steve Stanko made history as he the first man to break the mythic 1000-pound total in an official weightlifting contest.
    Unfortunately Stanko also suffered from painful blood clots in his legs and five weeks later found himself in the hospital.

    By mid-1942 he regained enough health to begin light upper-body training again.

    He was told to stay off his legs and could only train while sitting or lying on a bench.

    Through his specialized upper-body training program he was able to build himself into a bodybuilding champion, winning the 1944 AAU Mr. America and Junior Mr. America, the 1945 Most Muscular Man in America and the 1946 Mr. Universe.
