#43: Actor Kirk Douglas, Lifting His Two Sons Joel and Michael While Training For His One-Armed Pushups, 1955

You probably have heard of Kirk Douglas. Movie stars somehow get a whole lot more publicity than other people. What you may not know about Kirk Douglas is that he was famous for his one-armed push-ups and had a unique training method in addition to his films.

Here, he lifts his sons Joel and Michael on a pole to increase his strength and entertain the boys. At least, I hope it was entertainment because being the child of a celebrity can be hard enough without added traumas arising from various pole-lifting activities.
