When I was 10, I asked my parents for a set of weights. I had my Charles Atlas book to go along with that.

Pumping iron is not what it used to be. It doesn't have the personality it used to. When we started out, people who worked out had nothing. Now there is so much money involved; back then it was the love of the sport. We appreciated what we have. Today it's not the same.
