Thorbecke's Weight Lifting Clb

Arizona is rich in history of the old W. Thoughts of cowboys, Indians and Wyatt Earp at the OK corral speedily come to mind, but there is another subject with a long rich history in that state. A history full of stories, events and characters as interesting as any old W tale. That history is in powerlifting. For over thirty five years Thorbecke's Gym has produced several of the most successful powerlifters and strength athletes the state has come to know. It all began at Lucy May Thorbecke's house in North Phoenix, Arizona.
