George Redpath

George Redpath and Bert Goodrich

In the old days strength athletes were true athletes; equally proficiant in weight lifting, bodybuilding and handbalancing... and speaking of hand balancing, one of the greatest hand balancers was George Redpath from the original Muscle Beach. Redpath's hand balancing partner was the first Mr. America Bert Goodrich.

Redpath was also one of the first to promote healthy eating and correct nutrition through his many excellent articles in Iron Man Magazine and for years owned and ran one of the most popular gyms out on the West coast (which was eventually purchased by Bill Pearl.)
