Over a hundred years ago, when Alan Calvert started his barbell business, good sources of training information were few and far between. The general public had little idea what a barbell was, let alone how to use one correctly. By necessity, Calvert had to publish his own training booklets and brochures which highlighted h

You see, at that time, the barbells that were available were very crudely constructed so Calvert decided to make his own. He did such a fine job that, after seeing his work, many of his friends wanted him to make one for them. After seeing the reaction to his work, Alan Calvert decided to go into production of his own equipment and in 1902, the Milo Barbell Company was born! These "Milo" weights were quickly recognized as "the" equipment to use if you wanted to get strong. Milo equipment is where many of the great strength athletes got their start.  Milo Barbell Company weight sets included barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells and featured many styles - some plate loaded, some shot-loaded - some incorporating both methods.

As a result of witnessing Sandow's amazing display, that young man became inspired and take up strength training that very day.  It was not long afterwards that he realized that he would need a barbell in order to reach his goals of size, strength and development.  That young man's name? Alan Calvert --and what happened next would change the Strength World forever.

The year was 1893 when a young man witnessed the strength act of the Great Eugen Sandow at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The stage weights that Sandow used fascinated this young man, as did the unbelievable strength and power that the great Sandow exhibited.
