Milo was also the name, of course inspired by Milo of Croton, that the owner of the business and virtual shop "Ironmind", Randall J. Strossen, published for 25 years (1993-2018).
The journal covered "physical strength" and "strength culture" topics such as Olympic-style weightlifting, strongman, Highland Games, powerlifting, general weight training, and fitness, arm wrestling, grip strength, stones and stone-lifting, and similar subjects (this is from Wikipedia).
A beautifully crafted magazine that included scholarly presentations of obscure exercises and training routines, biographies of strong people, competition results, and extraordinary photographs.
It also listed the name and brief biographies, up to at least 2005 I believe, of people who managed to close the infamous #3 and #4 CoC grippers (I closed the #3 many years ago, so there is my photo somewhere).
For many years, #4 was closed by only one man, Joe Kinney [0]. I remember buying the VHS of his training sessions and having some "torture instruments" built by my local welder. Good times.
