  • Milo Barbell Company Ad, 1903


    • Here's one I doubt you have ever seen before, this advertisement for the Milo Barbell Company dates to 1903, back around when it was first established. One thing you will notice about the early Milo dumbbells is that they were not Globes but canister shaped. Oh, and that incredible "system" that they are talking about? It's called "Progressive Resistance Training" and it still works wonders a century later.
