FOR VIGOROUS LIVING Vim JULY 25c America's Best Built Physiques
HERE'S OUR COVERMAN in another superb photo by Doug- las of Detroit. VIC SEIPKE is one of America's most im- pressively built athletes and has an enviable record of con- test awards. He's 21, weighs 198 lbs. and is 5'9" tall.
24 A Gallery of Vic Seipke ON THESE SIX PAGES, VIM presents a photo collection of Vic Seipke, the 22-year-old Detroiter who appeared on our much-praised July cover. The photos are by Detroit photog, Douglas, who produced the July cover shot. Seipke, who now has 40 trophies in his collection, started training in 1949. He does most of his training at Detroit's Northeastern YMCA. His most recent victory was in the "Mr. Central U.S.A." show of 1954. His physical statistics are impressive. At 5'9", he weighs 198 lbs. He has a 19" neck, 4912" chest, 175%" bicep (nor- mal), 14" forearm, 32" waist, 264" thighs, and 164" calves. He has no "weak spots," having won subdivision awards for every body section. Seipke ignores "eccentric" training methods. He works hard and consistently and is constantly improving. He has a tremendous appetite, as we found when dining with him recently. We also found that he hasn't let the attention and publicity go to his head. He is confident, but not con- ceited... a modest, unassuming, all-around "nice guy."
38 WITHOUT A PIC of Vic Seipke, no issue would be complete. Here's a portrait of the Detroiter by Douglas. SMILING LAD on the right is Joe Masarik of Cleveland, Ohio. Joe, who is a surveyor by profession, is more than an amateur as far as dramatic talent goes. He recently sang with the Cleveland Opera Company in a production of "La Traviata." He's 18, weighs 180 pounds, and has a 46" chest. Photo: Spectrum Films.

was (on the right hand side of the stage itself) since it proved a disadvantage to the contestants who posed for the audience rather than the judges. This may have accounted for a seeming dis- crepancy in the choice of the judges and the audience for the various winners. Seipke, for example, received the largest ovation from the audience, though he ended up in a tie for third place. Unlike every other public gathering, the working press was turned away at the door and obliged to pay the $5.65 admission fee. Audience's choice, measured by ovation, was Vic Seipke, who tied for third place. He won the "Best Abdominals" classification.
Here's JIM PARK again, this time with VIC SEIPKE who placed third in this year's "Mr. America" contest. This photo is also by Cliff Oettinger.

Seipke, who now has 40 trophies in his collection, started training in 1949. He does most of his training at Detroit’s Northeastern YMCA. His most recent victory was in the “Mr. Central U.S.A.” show of 1954.
His physical statistics are impressive. At 5’9″, he weighs 198 lbs. He has a 19″ neck, 4912″ chest, 175%” bicep (nor- mal), 14″ forearm, 32″ waist, 264″ thighs, and 164″ calves. He has no “weak spots,” having won subdivision awards for every body section.
Seipke ignores “eccentric” training methods. He works hard and consistently and is constantly improving. He has a tremendous appetite, as we found when dining with him recently. We also found that he hasn’t let the attention and publicity go to his head. He is confident, but not con- ceited… a modest, unassuming, all-around “nice guy.”
