Teresa doesn't date arm wrestlers, she says. She prefers "executive types," so she can wear silk dresses. She is the kind of girl that Robin Whiting, a 29-year-old massage therapist, would call a "frilly." Robin is a very muscular 5 ft. 2 in., 145 lbs., and she used to be a body builder. "I quit," she says, "because I couldn't smile at the judges like all the other frillies did. In arm wrestling, the judges don't determine the winner...
...Motel (his real name) is a muscular, 24-year-old pressman for a Jacksonville newspaper. Today he is a heavy favorite in the 196-lb. and 228- lb. classes and so far has dispatched all his opponents, save one, without working up a sweat. Moe's technique is to stand expressionless at the table while his opponent grunts and strains against Moe's muscular arm.

When Joe won his second match in this double-elimination event, his friends leaped out of their seats and cheered. Joe put his head down, embarrassed, and joined his wife in a far corner of the room...
...uneven but amusingly arrogant performance as Dr. Sanderson. Tomarken is tall and skinny and uses his body very well on stage to achieve comic effects, especially when he leans over to peer over the over the top of his glasses. Donal Logue hammed up his role as a muscular hospital attendant and also raised some welcome chuckles. Frankly the characters in this play are so goofy already that the funniest performances result from hamming up the parts until they seem even goofier, which most of the cast succeeds in doing...
Chicago was chockablock with business seminars that week. Next door at the Marriott, muscular types in gold chains and shorts were studying health-club management. Downtown, engineers laid out a grand for four days of "Pneumatic Conveying for Bulk Solids." A company called the 1st Seminar Service lists 100,000 such seminars annually around the country. By its estimate, corporations send 8 million people a year for outside training, and think it is worth paying about $4 billion. The rustling sound of flip charts in action runs like a breeze through the cornfields from coast to coast...
