Stories of Vintage Bodybuilding & Strength Training, Part I
On a lil covert trip to the hard core Skiba’s Barbell Club in Carteret, NJ, I was lucky to grill Skiba’s long time bruddah, Ray Anderson.
This is part I of a 2 part interview so stay tuned for part II.
Feel free to leave your comments and questions below and check out the critical message I have for you under this video….
Those were some cool toys, eh mate??
I NEVER Coney Island had their own version of the “East Coast Muscle Beach”?!?!
And, Ed Jubinville used to live in my hometown of Edison, NJ! In fact, Ray told me that Ed’s original gym equipment is STILL in some dude’s basement here in Edison, and the stuff hasn’t been used or moved since!
Maybe I’ll be knocking on doors VERY soon to get in an old school workout with Ed Jubinville’s equpment, time to dust it off, he he he

Comments on Stories of Vintage Bodybuilding & Strength Training, Part I
I’m only 32, but love the history & all the ol’ time strength stuff! Cool! I believe Joe Bonomo is from Coney Island. He was amazing & wrote a biography that is super hard to put down. It’s that good! Also, he became a famous stunt man after his strong man days.
Hey Zack, you need to find that old gym equipment in your hometown there!!! I bet it’s a goldmine. Put an ad in the paper.

Zach-
Speedy recovery to you! Some good info- I never would have thought that the East Coast hub of Bodybuilding was Coney Island I would have assumed Miami.
Nice to know there was strong man close to Canada. You ad to cut it right when he was getting into the Kettlebell segment! Now I have even further reason to watch for part two!
Good shizza- keep it comin!
