The Greatest Bodybuilder of ALL Time …
He competed in the heart of the muscle building scene in the 60’s and 70’s amongst the giants of our sport: Schwarzenegger, Mentzer, Corney, Ferrigno, Oliva, Columbo (and all the others). Yet I remember reading a story of this bodybuilder when I was young (60’s? early 70’s? anyone remember it?) entitled something like “Why I am retiring from professional bodybuilding.”Famous last words …At only 5′9″!, and under 190 pounds! when competing, he was not a giant, but it didn’t matter. He would become … a giant killer.In a day and age when physique was built by blood sweat and guts, and sheer determination, he showed us what it meant to look and pose like a god. And when he did his famous hands pointing toward the heavens pose at the Olympia, we thought we were looking at Michelangelo’s David come alive.
For all you guys (and gals!) on bodybuilding.com who are struggling with your own perception of what it means to be and look like a bodybuilder, don’t look at the magazines nowadays, which offer us gigantic steroid pumped gargantuan men, and, ladies that look like men in bikinis. Magazines, which make you want to believe, that if you take their advertiser’s supplements, you guys can have 26″ guns and you ladies have 30″ thighs! In like 3 weeks! NOT!
Look to the past … when bodybuilding was bodybuilding, not drug taking. And KNOW anything is possible … if … you try hard enough!
That bodybuilder? Three time Mr. Olympia:
