Ted Glasgow’s smile is infectious, but his physique may be a little intimidating. He’s a body builder, originally from East St. Louis, who has won the Mr. Missouri title four times.
He got his start in 1976 at a competition in Springfield.
“It was in an air-conditioned hotel, and they didn’t have a stage or anything like that,” Glasgow said. “There were no weight classes, no music, and we did our posing routine.”
At 5 feet 8 inches, 189 pounds and 53 years old, Glasgow is still competing.
