"Professor" Henry W.Titus

Though a short in stature and slightly built for a muscle champion, "Professor" Henry W. Titus was a sensation. He built a large mail-order muscle-building business in the mid-1920's. He presented a genuine bronze medal to those men who completed his course and sent in their photograph as proof of their success. Here again is a man who understood that natural bodybuilding could actually be beneficial to a persons overall health, and not just for the development of muscle for appearance sake alone. You were right, Professor.
