  • Chuck Ahrens
  • Chuck Ahrens was a giant of a man who was a part of the Muscle Beach Scene of the late 1950's.

    He trained at Vic Tanny's Gym and there were reports of him performing incredible feats of strength such as overhead presses with 160-pound dumbbells (for reps!), benchpressing 400 pounds for 28 reps, curling 225 with ease and tricep extensions with over 300 pounds.

    His shoulders were reliably measured at an incredible 26-5/8 inches across.

    In this famous picture, taken at Muscle Beach in 1957, Chuck Ahrens does a "muscle out" with a 75 pound girl standing on his arm.
