What better way to mark America’s 250th birthday than with a set of posts on some of the bodybuilders who have held the title Mr. America. Most of the men in this group come from the Amateur Athletic Union contest; the last two were holders of the International Fitness & Bodybuilding Federation title.
John Grimek (1910-1998) was Mr. America in 1940 and again in 1941; he was Mr. Universe in 1948. Steve Reeves (1926-2000) was Mr. America in 1947, and André Drapp (1920-2008) was Mr. France in 1947. (This list is not exhaustive!)
Happy 250th Birthday to the USA 🇺🇸

May the current tyranny come to pass, and the USA awaken to a new dawn. 🌅

As James Baldwin put it, bracingly, “I love America more than any other country in the world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

ReplyDeleteÉtats-Unis, un jeune pays qui a beaucoup à apprendre. Vos épreuves passeront.
Le souvenir des courageux Américains qui ont défendu La Belle France durant la Première Guerre mondiale et l’ont libérée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont sacré pour nous. :)
La liberté détruit le mal.
