  • Armand Tanny's Favorite Exercise: The One Arm Clean

    • Armand Tanny's Favorite Exercise: The One Arm CleanArmand Tanny's Favorite Exercise: The One Arm Clean

    Armand Tanny (brother of Vic Tanny) was a very successful bodybuilder in the late 40's and 50's, and a regular at the original Santa Monica Muscle Beach scene.

    Tanny competed in many major bodybuilding contests and won the Pro-Mr. America in 1950. His favorite exercise was one you don't often see these days: the one arm clean.

    Its hard to tell how heavy the bar is loaded to in this shot -- I'd say at least 225 or so, and you sure won't find any bodybuilders who could do that these days.
