RIP - Joe Dube

 









Sadly, weightlifting legend Joe Dube has passed away.  One heck of a lifter!

  2. RIP.

    The photos on this blog I like the best are of Joe training in his garage gym from his 1964 profile in Strength & Health's Lifter's Corner.

  3. One of my heroes growing up along with all of the YBC lifters. Met him at one the AOBS dinners years ago. RIP Joe
