John Balik started bodybuilding when he was just 14 years old. According to John, "My mother bought me my first copy of a bodybuilding magazine (Iron Man, January 1956) and the odyssey began. That magazine, and the world it opened to me, together with a borrowed barbell from my uncles fueled my need to be bigger and stronger. Fifty-plus years later my life is defined by the relationships created through bodybuilding and the ongoing pleasure of the workout." Travel with John as he lives and talks about his life in bodybuilding.
