Elaborate equipment


I'm not sure who the model is (Aberg?), but while doing Google Images searches to find out, I learned that the weights at his feet were called a Milo barbells.  Pat Milo's real name was James Patrick, so did he borrow his trade name from a brand of barbells?  Stranger things have happened.

  4. That's interesting. So Pat Milo and the barbell company may be named after a Greek athlete.
