Bert Elliott’s Classic Strongman Equipment

Posted on Friday, October 30th, 2015 by John Wood
Bert Elliott was a bodybuilding champ in the 1950’s and 60’s who had an interest in real oldtime strength training. He even shaved his head and dressed like a turn of the century strongman to complete the effect. Here’s Burt standing in front of some pieces of his famous collection of oldtime equipment: chest expanders, globe barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and Indian Clubs. (Note the very old Hand Grippers on the wall.)
