Sig Klien

I have been lucky over the years as a bodybuilder and collector of memorabilia to have met many of the top champs and visited a lot of gyms. One time when I was in New York I entered a gym that seemed to be filled with old equipment and met the owner whom I did not regonize. Years later I realized that the man I met was Sig Klien. Sig was a Strongman,Bodybuilder,Hand Balancer and Gymnast. He specialized in Kettlebell training years before modern day Kettlebells. His gym was filled was antique round ended barbells and other unique training equipment. Today as a collector I wish I could go back in time and spend the afternoon looking at the equipment and getting insights from Sig. One picture I posted showed Sig pressing a heavy dumbell at 57 years of age. Other pictures show him with Steve Reeves.
