Born August 18, 1946, Lake Charles, Louisiana In a sport festooned with great biceps, Boyer Coe had a pair of the best, and the longevity and gentlemanly approach he brought to his chosen craft made him a standout in all he did. Coe’s physique fascination began at an early age, but his understanding of the necessary process to build a solid one came a little later.
When fiver-year-old Coe would look at pictures of bodybuilders in muscle magazines, hoping on day to achieve such a physique, he was under the impression that their “special swim trunks” were responsible for the muscles and not their dedication to training. Eight years later, while fishing, Coe found a discarded Weider magazine with Doug Strohl on the cover. Upon thumbing through the magazine, he began to understand that the calisthenics he had been doing were insufficient for such massive development and that weight training was needed. Once h acquired his own barbells, he trained in the family garage, and his progress was as magical as those “special” trunks. 1962 Teen-Age Mr. South Contest.
