Arizona Muscle Reunion 2019.

Picture
​On Sunday, March 3, 2019 we gathered at Gordon Biersch in Scottsdale to celebrate Arizona’s Golden Era of Bodybuilding, Strength and Fitness. The three hour event provided a long overdue opportunity for us to reconnect and share stories and laughter with some of the Arizona champions from 1960’s through 1990’s. The reunion included a toast to the incredible athletes who are no longer with us, but left us with a lasting legacy. And as you will see in the Arizona Muscle Reunion 2019 Photos below, somehow the group photo op morphed into a fun posedown. :-)

Lastly, on behalf of the event organizers, KP, Myron, Rusty, Francy and Les (seen in slightly older photos below), we want to thank everyone for making this such a terrific muscle memory. To put it in bodybuilding terms, your kindness, excitement and support really pumped us up. :-)

Arizona Muscle 

If it weren’t for Arizona, I would never have had a crazy career photographing and writing about athletes for Muscle and Fitness and running a chain of health clubs. So, I am deeply indebted to everyone who gave me a start and/or took a big chance to let me point a camera or a microphone at them. To give proper credit where credit is long overdue, I have begun to assemble a gallery below that features some of the people and publications who blessed me along the way. I hope seeing them brings back a lot of great muscle memories for you.

​Please note that many of the images and pages are copyrighted, so please don’t share them without expressed permission from those athletes or publications.  

PS. Highly respected bodybuilding photographer, 
John Tsaninos recently announced that he will be providing more photos of athletes from his archives on his Facebook page Iron Warrior News.

Note: These health related pages are coming soon or currently being updated.
