  • Wally Allen and Martin Wilson

    • Wally Allen and Martin WilsonWally Allen and Martin WilsonYears ago, 'weight lifting' was thought by many people to make athletes musclebound and inflexible. Here's a couple gents who certainly proved that wrong.

    Wally Allen, on the bottom, could press 200 pounds, succeeeded with a pullover of 125 pounds and could bench press 330 - not bad considering he weighed only 175 pounds.
