Bill Piche Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 For those of you here who know of Dr. Ken Leistner, he unexpectedly passed away yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. In reality, this site would probably not exist today without the influence Dr. Ken had on me when I started powerlifting. I found him in PLUSA in 1981 and used to go immediately to his column every month. He was a huge influence to many.... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svr Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 He had a huge influence on me as well. I found a few big hunks of scrap steel years ago and still carry them on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Crusher Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The world will be an emptier place without him. He was a huge advocate of grip training as well. A more kind, generous and giving man you will never meet. He was a friend of mine and I will miss him greatly. I did my #3 certification at his Iron Island Gym. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
