Cool read.
Too bad they did not include stats for injuries with each year among press competitors to see if their was any correlation between the different pressing styles and injuries. But I suppose that would be near impossible given the time.

I have a feeling even had the press remained, and perception not changed, Arnold's impact would have been just as great.

That pic of Valerij is just ridiculous, I can see a thousand things going wrong if I was in that position. :mrgreen:

Not sure what to make of Hoffman, as it relates to this particular article.
