Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, California, was the birthplace of the
worldwide fitness revolution. Just a few names of those who made their
names there: From the prewar group there were Jack LaLanne and Joe
Gold; in the ’50s came Armand Tanny, Zabo Koszewski, Russ Warner,
Pudgy Stockton and Steve Reeves; in the ’60s and ’70s came Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu, among other bodybuilding stars.
Muscle Beach has always been as much a dream as a place. The mag-
netism of sun, sand and athletic men and women has drawn thousands
to Southern California for generations—including me. I’ve always been
drawn to the water, first as a teenager to the shores of Lake Michigan
and later through my ongoing love affair with the Pacific Ocean. That all
came flooding back to me on the Fourth of July, as I sat next to Zabo at
Muscle Beach, Venice, for one of Joe Wheatley’s contests.
At 88 Zabo is one of the last links to the golden era. He lives only a
few blocks from the Venice workout area, and as he told me, he loves
it as much as he did in 1950, when he made his way from Pennsylva-
nia to the iconic beach. As he said, no one had any money then, but
they made up for it with a shared passion and camaraderie. Zabo was
with me not just to enjoy the picture-perfect day but also to receive an
award—his name was added to the Muscle Beach Walk of Fame.
My relationship with Muscle Beach goes back more than 40 years, to
when I was a competitor. That’s why I support Wheatley’s request that
IRON MAN be a sponsor of the Muscle Beach events and awards cer-
emonies. It’s still a special place, and the programs Joe produces there
underline that fact.
The contests and awards that took place on July 4 recognized both
the foundation of our sport—Zabo—and the enduring appeal of body-
building. If you have a chance to attend one of the Muscle Beach events,
you’ll understand what I mean when I say that it’s exciting not only to
watch bodybuilders from teens to 70-year-olds show why what we do
is so special but also to experience the love and appreciation the crowd
lavishes on the dedicated athletes. It’s bodybuilding in its most elemen-
tal expression: sun, sand and joy.
I enjoy the events because they refresh my memory. I get to talk with
people like Zabo, who inspire my own training. Everyone is having a
good time, the stakes are personal, and the exhilaration is experienced
by everyone who attends. That’s what bodybuilding is all about.
