My first bodybuilding mags were Bob Hoffman's "Strength & Health" and "Muscular Development". The AAU Mr. America was the show in the '70s.

1977 AAU Mr. America! I remember him talking about the seemingly endless amount of eggs he ate each day.
Was Googling for images and found this Mae West (an entertainer from a million years ago for the younger readers) blog entry:
Mae West: Dave Johns
In 1977, Mae West posed with Dave Johns, newly crowned Mr. America.
Dave Johns [5 August 1945 — 26 July 1986]
Racism has kept the Mr. America title going primarily to white men. Since Mae West took an interest in black boxers and bodybuilders, she probably was aware of the discrimination they faced. Handsome and well-built Dave Johns, born on 5 August 1945, was 31 years old when he won in 1977 and Mae was there to commemorate his achievement.
A year later, Dave Johns was awarded the global title Mr. Universe. Beyond his competitions and winning record, little is known about this hard working Afro-American. The five-foot-nine muscleman died at the age of 41 of a lung infection.
Johns was known for his strength. Shown above with the legendary Dave Draper.
Was looking for his more recent videos. Here's Baldwin in his prime:
Teufel was only 45 years old. Had never heard his death was related to alcohol. :-(

Bumping this thread for the mention of AAU competitor Bronston Austin on this week's episode of Heavy Muscle Radio. Going to look but iirc there are few if any pics of Austin online.
