1. PEOPLE GET WEARY

He created a workout program that he sold to other adolescent youths who were tired of being 97-pound weaklings. I have a copy of the flier. The company actually is still in existence. If you want to sign up, it's $49.99 for twelve workouts. You may want to check this out.
Here's a picture of Charles Atlas. This is what granddad and great-granddad did to get ripped, back in the day. I'm talking like 1930, 1940. Look at that right there: "Get fit fast, only fifteen minutes a day!" That’s Charles Atlas. He actually changed his name from Angelo Siciliano to Charles Atlas to fit a little bit more with “the new him.” He always wore the cheetah Speedo thing—how ...
