    • Chuck Ahrens and Bert ElliotChuck Ahrens and Bert ElliotTwo fixtures in the Santa Monica, California Muscle Beach scene share a laugh in the late 1950's - Chuck Ahrens and Bert Elliott.

    Chuck Ahrens was a man of immeasurable power, and Bert Elliott was a champion weightlifter and bodybuilder (He won the 1954 Sr. Nationals Weightlifting Title in the 165 Pound Class (totaling 765 pounds), the 1953 "Iron Man" bodybuilding contest as well as the 1954 AAU Mr. Southern California.)

    At their feet is Bert Elliott's 201 pound "challenge" dumbbell which he could bent- press with ease.
