Les, do you or does anyone else remember the ABC Sports closeup on him and other olympic athletes aired in Winter of 1976 just prior to the Montreal games. It was an awesome piece on Rigert and showed him training. I vividly recall him doing pulls and his massive traps were unbelievable and certainly were inspiring to me then a 19 year old college Freshman. Thanks for the memories!
