  1. Wasn't he a former Mr. America in the early 50's?

    1. Well, you're on the right track, Greggy. Although he was never Mr. America, Stan won five consecutive World Championships and six U.S. national titles in weightlifting across three weight classes, 1946-52. Oh, and lets not forget two Olympic medals, one gold and one silver. Maybe he was too busy to do the Mr. America contest, which some at that time thought of as a beauty contest rather than a skill competition.
