This is a special week.

 

A very deserving member of the strength community

is being honored this weekend by being inducted into

the York Barbell Museum - Slim "The Hammer Man."

 

I do not know Slim that well, but we have met

once or twice and we have spoken on the phone

a few times.  But I can tell you that in the few time(s)

I have met him, he has impressed me.

 

, It's not often I meet someone with

bigger hands than me, but Slim does!  In fact, when

he shakes your hand it feels like someone just slipped

a giant catcher's mitt around yours - crazy!

 

I will be in York, PA this weekend to attend the

inductions, but I also have a couple of other

announcements to point out regarding Slim the Hammer

Man at the site.

By the way, Slim doesn't just hang out with any slouches. 

The guys that I hear about most often visiting him the last

few years, Dennis Rogers, Pat Povilaitis, Tom Kelly,

Dave Whitley, and Chris Rider, are some of the best

performers of feats of strength that are alive today.

 

Many of those guys will be there in York this Saturday. 

It will be a great opportunity to meet some of the new

greats and future legends.  If you can make it, I strongly

suggest it.

 

If you are attending or have a cool story to share about
Slim, please come leave a comment at today's post:
