I would love to walk through time and take a workout at Sig's
gym. Course, I'd like to walk back in many other ways, too.

It was such an innocent time, relatively speaking...and
seemingly ages ago.

I can feel my hands wrapped around that cold steel globe
barbell; ditto dumbbells. Followed by a handfull of Hoffman's
proteen tablets ($2.00 per cannister). Followed by several
large tablespoons of Pepto-Bismol--lol.

That is IronAge. Forget debates about "receptors". These men knew how to train so that they "Owned" their muscles!

Nice tribute Mark.  Wish it could have been longer.  I guess you can tell by this thread, Sig Klein is one of my all-time favorite strongmen.

Me too Bob.  I do have one personal letter from him he sent me.  I have it framed along with an autographed photo. His gym would have been quite a place to visit.
