The 3rd Book in the Landmark Series...

Legacy of Iron

Vol. 3 - The 1,000 Pound Total

by Brooks D. Kubik

It is my opinion that most people who have followed lifting during the 30’s and 40’s somehow overlooked one man.

This man was clearly a National Champion as well as a World Champion in lifting.

In addition, he was one of the very few in history that managed to cross over and become a bodybuilding champion as well.

His name…

Steve Stanko.

In this, the third volume in the Legacy of Iron series, Brooks Kubik takes you into the summer of 1940. During this time there was a fierce competition between the Big Champ, Steve Stanko, and the World Champion, John Davis to become the first man to total 1,000 pounds in the three Olympic lifts.

Legacy of Iron:
The 1,000 Pound Total
by Brooks Kubik

To give you an idea of the kind of weight these two champions were tossing around, that cover photo shown at the right is Steve Stanko doing a clean and jerk of no less than 350 pounds!

Steve Stanko was the reigning Heavyweight Senior National Champion, and the World record holder in the snatch, clean and jerk and total. However, World Champion, John Davis, had just moved from the 181 pound class to the Heavyweight class.

At this time in lifting history, the entire lifting world watched as these two vied for the crown.

What happens, is just short of a miracle…
