Many of these lifetime feats of strength and muscular endurance were accomplished at a bodyweight of 215 lbs. with measurements of: height, 6’ ½”, chest (normal) 48-1/2”, upper arms (contracted) 18-1/4”, and calves 17-1/2”.

These personal best lifetime achievements of strength and body part measurements didn’t happen by chance, for I have had more than 40 years of experience as a power/bodybuilder.
