    Al Treloar was a stage assistant to Eugen Sandow who went on to develop his own strongman performance.

    Treloar went on to win the title of "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World" on January 16th, 1904 at the very first large-scale bodybuilding competition in America which took place at the original Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    It was said that Treloar could tear four decks of playing cards at once.

    After graduating from Harvard University, Treloar became the director of physical education at the famous Los Angeles Athletic Club in California, a position he held for the next forty-two years.
