The photo of American bodybuilder John Grimek was made during a time when he had acquired some of Professor Desbonnet's books and used his training methods. It paid off because Mr. Grimek went on to win Mr. America, Mr. Universe, and AAU Mr. USA titles in the 1940s. He made a pilgrimage to Paris to visit Prof. Desbonnet and thank him for his long lifetime of work in 1950. The good professor gave Mr, Grimek a medal which he had specially made to award to his best students. The American champion described the visit as one of the high points of his career.
Impressive. Any frontals of this stud?
ReplyDeleteNot that I know of.
DeleteLe bel homme au physique parfait.
ReplyDeleteGrimek et Desbonnet, two fine men of physical culture. When they met in 1950 in Paris it was like old friends :)
Much mutual respect.
DeleteIt paid off 100%! Mr. Grimek was one of the best, a very rugged and handsome man.
