York, Pennsylvania - York Barbell Man The York Barbell Man is rotating fully again. Cleaned up, looks like new. He's also illuminated with floodlights at night. [Eric Lindinger, 05/19/2007]
York, Pennsylvania - York Barbells and Weightlifting Hall of Fame Along Route 30 is the York Barbell Company. High on a pole in front of the building is a very large man on one knee holding up a large set of barbells. I believe that the man rotates and can be seen for quite a distance. It has been there for years. [C. Carey, 05/17/2005][RA: The building is the home of the US Weightlifting Hall of Fame, the legacy of former Olympic athlete Bob Hoffman, "Father of World Weightlifting," who died in 1985.]
