Very good old style physique when natty in the early 50s.

He had the kind of physique that made you want to be more powerful and on top of that he was a true gentleman.

RIP

Quite unusual for a former juicer to reach this age.

I have a copy of Keys to the Inner Universe, signed by Bill no less. It’s a good book.

RIP, to one of the giants of modern bodybuilding.

A few photos:

His use was on the light side...

91 and change, and active and with it through most of that time is a great run.

RIP.

Holy crap, after all that steroid abuse, imagine if he was natty

Bills 3-Volume Book "Legends of the Iron Game" probably the best book ever written on the subject.

There was a photo of Bill Pearl in Don Aplin's basement gym in Kamloops in 1958 when I started lifting weights. His double biceps was nothing short of amazing and in truth I never did get arms that big! Several years later Bill astonished everyone with his huge arms standing with arms by his side. He kept winning big titles over the years yet never followed Larry or Arnold endorsing products for Joe or Bob. He remained his own man and lived according to what he believed.

I did meet Bill in San Francisco in 1991 at an IRSA conference where he was at the Life Fitness stand presenting the electric exercise machines. A pity they didn't succeed because they were very effective. He is thought well of by almost everyone in the Iron Game.

91 years, I’d say it’s a life well lived especially how healthy he was all his life. Amazing triceps too.
