Some History
It was in 1982 that a love of weightlifting and an entrepreneurial spirit led graduate student Daryle Scott to launch Titan Bodybuilding, a mail-order company specializing in bodybuilding apparel. He and three friends each invested $5,000 in the business and ran it out of Scott’s Jacksonville, FL, apartment.
