Project Power (Thanks to Larry Anderson and Randy Maloney)

Before he was known as Dick Tyler, he went by Richard Tyler.

Richard Tyler filmed what could be called a "home movie" called "Project Power" covering the 1960s West Coast Bodybuilding and Lifting scene.

Circa 1961

We start out in "The Dungeon", Vic Tanny's two-story dark but spacious gym. George Eiferman slept on a trampoline here when he needed a short-term place to stay after relocating from the East Coast.

In the opening scene, we see the hills, homes, and beaches of Southern California. Chuck Pendleton (Gordon Mitchell), walks along the beach and eyes a pretty girl who leaves her skinny boyfriend for Chuck. A couple of other bodybuilders who I cannot identify appear. Larry Scott poses from the back of a convertible along the sunset strip.

Next check out a gym operated by Joe Gold, Chuck Pendleton, Zabo, and Chuck Mahoney.
