John Y. Smith and a Unique Barbell

John Y. Smith

Gotta love some of the unique and usual weights that many of the strongmen found to lift.

Here's a rare shot of the great Oldtime strongman John Y. Smith as he shoulders an unusual barbell, in his later years.

Smith was a very good bent-presser (with a lift of 275 lbs. at a bodyweight of just 160 lbs.) so that is probably what he is getting ready to do.
