Harry L. Good started training in 1924 and by 1930 he had turned professional. Only a couple of years later, in 1934, he won the World’s Strongest Professional Strongman title. Harry worked for Bob Hoffman for some time, but he decided to open his own barbell company afterwards and kept it running for 37 years.

Unassisted one leg press, in the picture below, is an amazing exercise for developing leg power and coordination at the same time. Harry recommends mastering unassisted Two Leg Press before you attempt the one leg variation.

Harry Good died in 1962 at the age of 61 in Tacoma Wa. I’m his youngest son and have photo of his headstone. He was born in 1901 in Ft Fairfield Maine. Thank for the information I was never told of his earlier accomplishments.
I believe Harry Good might be a relative of mine. I’m curious!
