John Y. Smith and His Unique Barbell
Posted on Tuesday, September 20th, 2016 by John Wood
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.
