And the Answer Is . . .

Congratulations to Mark Viehweg, who was the first person to correctly tell us that it was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger who said that as a young kid lifting weights he was inspired by and wanted to be "studly" like Tommy Kono.

Quite a few guys knew the answer to this question and what was interesting to us was that the number two guess was none other than the irrepressible, unmistakable Bruce Wilhelm. The Big B, besides making a MILO cover, was a world-class athlete in three Olympic sports, and he won the first two World's Strongest Man contests.

Way to go Mark, and we hope you enjoy the one-year MILO subscription you just won.
