Haywood, NU ’12, April 4, 2015 SY: Whenever you’re ready we can let the games begin. TA: Alright, shoot. SY: So can you introduce yourself for the mic. TA: Ted Arcidi, graduate of Norwich in ’82. SY: Excellent, and we’re here at your business in Manchester, New Hampshire. What’s the name of your business? TA: Building and business. I developed this building. It’s a mill building, an older building and I also have my business here, Weightlifters Warehouse where we sell fitness equipment. SY: Excellent, can I borrow a pen? Interview pauses SY: Okay, so the thing with oral history is we get to start out early. So where were you born? And when you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? TA: A Norwich grad [said in joking tone]—hold on I’ll get there SY: Okay, okay. TA: I was born in, I was born in Buffalo, New York and what did I want to aspire to? I didn’t even know until like high school. I wanted to be a pro hockey player because I was I was really good in hockey and I played it, you know, religiously – practiced, practiced, practiced, practiced. I think I got my work ethic from my parents. I mean I’d be on the pond skating when—I went to private school so it was great I’d be skating by myself just doing drills, shooting drills, things like that for hours.

  • Ted Arcidi: “The Boss of the Bench Press” (The First Man to Officially Bench Press 700+ Pounds) by Dennis B
    By Dennis B. Weis “The Yukon Hercules” www.dennisbweis.com ©2002 Dennis B. Weis Ted Arcidi: “The Boss of the Bench Press” (The first man to officially bench press 700+ pounds) by Dennis B. Weis “The Yukon Hercules” I enjoy reminiscing about some of the iron game greats I have had the pleasure of interviewing over the years for many of the mainstream iron game publications. It seems like only yesterday but I will never forget one day in particular back in early 1985, when I had the pleasure of receiving a phone call from world class power lifter Ted Arcidi in Boston, Massachusetts. His reason for calling was to inform me that he had recently set a new WORLD RECORD in the bench press on March 3rd at the 1985 Hawaiian International Powerlifting Championships (i.e. Gus Rethwisch’s Budwiser World Record Breakers) in Honolulu, Hawaii. He went on to tell me that he had bench pressed a WR-705.5 lbs in the Super Heavyweight class. I wasn’t quite ready for that statement. I was pleasantly shocked, a 705.5 lb Bench Press!!! It wasn’t that I ever doubted Ted would eventually break the 700 lb. barrier, because in early December of ’84, he had plans of assaulting the 700 lb. barrier at York, Pa. Those plans were temporarily interrupted and so it seemed that it might be a while before he would have a go at this seemingly elusive target. Now, here we are just four months later, hearing the news of the 700 lb.

  • Joe Warpeha a History of Powerlifting in the United States
    1 A History of Powerlifting in the United States: 50 Years after York Published online on September 4, 2015 at http://www.usaplmn.com By Joe Warpeha Preface This article began as a simple history of powerlifting for a coaching manual. It has since morphed into what you see before you. I would like to state right at the start that I am not a sport historian. I am simply a powerlifter with an interest in the people and events that have shaped this great sport. The true historians in our sport are people like Drs. Jan and Terry Todd, Mike Lambert, Dr. Ken Leistner, and the late Peary Rader. Powerlifting is a game of numbers and credit should also be given to noted statisticians of the sport like Michael Soong and the late Herb Glossbrenner. All of these people have lived the history of powerlifting and have done an excellent job remembering it and recording it. In my search for information relating to the formation and evolution of powerlifting, I was surprised to find no truly comprehensive history as exists for many other sports (perhaps one is out there and I have missed it) so I set out in an attempt to put the pieces together. I have tried to use many different sources and they range from the gold standard (peer-reviewed publications) to the questionable (websites and personal blogs). The vast majority of my sources can be accessed online by you the reader for free (all links work as of 9-4-2015 but I cannot guarantee all will be functional indefinitely) so I hope you will look further into the topics that interest you.
