I stopped by my dear friend Carl's house on the way to the AOBS 2009, check this stuff out, Carl has some very nice weights, that he got from Andy Jackson himself !
Internet collection of vintage, rare or unique barbells, dumbbells, weights and equipment!
Dedicated to Vintage Iron & Oldetime Strongmen!

If you are like me, and enjoy feats of strength, look no further than the modern day "Old Time" strongmen out there performing today. Guys like Slim "Hammerman" Farman, Dennis Rogers, Greg Matonick, "Irish Anvil" Tom Kelly, Pat "Human Vise" Povilaitis, etc.
I recently got the 336 P.O.F. Rogers / Povilaitis DVD, and its awesome to say the least. The Slim DVD set is next on my list, and I cant wait to watch it.

Lionel Strongfort, whose real name was Max Unger, was born in Berlin, Germany, November 23, 1878. He began his famed stage career around 1897, becoming world renowned for his "Human Bridge Act" (The Tomb of Hercules position). Strongfort's greatest fame came after retiring from the stage in the early 1900s, launching his world famous mail order course, "Strongfortism" which appeared in popular publications the world over. For more than 25 years until about 1935, "Strongfortism" was one of the most successful train-by-mail correspondence school adventures. Lionel Strongfort lived a healthy, active life until he passed away at the ripe old age of 92.Here's a pic of some Strongfort Dumbbells.
