  2. Great photo of Van Cleef (1910-1964)
    Van Cleef trained at Sig Klein’s gym in NYC as a bodybuilder and weightlifter, became a well regarded physique model, an editor and columnist for Stength and Health magazine, a trainer for the New York Giants and a vegetarian who felt they should denounce those that made false claims about its benefits. Later in life Van Cleef moved to California and opened a gym and trained Olympic weightlifters. Sadly, at age 53 Van Cleef died of a heart attack.
