He's absolutely rabid in his hate for steroid users. If he is clean he might be one of the best bodybuilders of all time.

I don't think the male body make much test at that age. I have a hard time seeing him keeping that muscle at 75 unless he's on trt.

Is this a joke? No way on earth he looks like that at 75 without help.Probably really means he's rabid in his hate for steroid users with better receptors than him.

I just remember interviews with him in the 70's and he constantly pounded the drum about his hate of steroid using bodybuilders. He wasn't ambiguous about his feelings. He is also one of those bodybuilders that was in shape decade after decade. Is he a fraud and a liar or is he one of the most amazing bodybuilders of all time?

Anyone that doesn't think THAT pic is possible natural has pretty weak genetics... That doesn't look unattainable at all... I couldn't give a shit if he is or isn't - my P&L won't be affected either way and I dont think that if I "guess" wrong that it will hurt MY physique - but that pic is no proof.. I think many of you just haven't spent any time with those of us with above average genetic make up... Dont mean to be cocky but damn guys - really???   This lil Uber dude is so sad.. It must be terrible to feel so inferior that you cant even hide the feminine jealousy...  If you cats would just realize that this attitude is the thing holding you back from ALL the things you are missing in life...

Don't Make Waves is a cool movie, not necessarily good, but has many interesting touches.  For example, Sharon Tate is in it, and there are all subtle jokes making fun of Californians.  (Funk you've done it again with your great posts!)

Bullshit.

forillagorilla has it right.  I've been around bodybuilding for decades and I've seen natural guys with very impressive physiques so it certainly is reasonable that he is/was totally naturally.  None of them would make it to Mr. Olympia, but they would still be the best or one of the best built guys in the gym.  And it is not necessarily a factor of genetics.  It's a factor of hard, hard work.

This is a topic that infuriates me on this board.  Whenever anyone posts that it's always drugs, and never natural, that tells me that person doesn't know jackshit about real bodybuilding.

Agree! Many of the jealous people who deny that it is possible to look jacked natural are delusional. Some individuals are simply more gifted than others in this regard. There was this one guy at the soccer team I played for who had tendency towards Platz-like legs. Never trained with weights at all. His quads hanged over his kneecaps. His calves were huge too. However, his upper body was nothing special- never trained it.  I heard one player on an opponent team say to a team-mate once "DID YOU SEE THAT? HIS THIGHS ARE LIKE TREE TRUNKS". He actually scared opponents  ;D.

Functionally, his legs worked well too- he had an incredibly powerful kick- scored goals from a distance and he was very fast. The most fascinating part of the story is that this guy was white!  ;D. Pale as milk...

Look Jack ass nobody is saying u can't build a very good physique without drugs but u are on a bbing board dedicated to bbing and pro bing

All pro physiques require drugs and all Npc competitors as well, and if someone is a serious competitor he or she is on drugs. This "sport" is filled with liars, drug dealers, homos and plain shady pos people

Does it really matter if he uses a lil' HRT now at age 75?
He even passed both BLOOD and urine  drug tests for steroids in his prime, so wtf.
Only Chet Yorton  can know for sure if  Chet was  a 100% clean lifetime natural.

1. The guy looks amazing for age 75 and has stayed in shape for his entire life.

2. Drug use wasn't  a major part of his training program.

Personal friend of mine. He beat me (2nd) in the NPC Masters Nationals Over 70 in Pittsburgh a few years back. (last year before Pro cards were issued to the Over 70s) He owns a basket shop on Nantucket Island. He did not compete in the Nationals past two years since he already owns that title. He gets his kicks out of beating "the kids" in local shows when he is in Sarasota Fl. for the winter.

That's from the short-lived Willy Wonka fitness line when he briefly got away from the candy industry and partnered up with Vince Basile. "That machine" was known as the Everlasting Guns Sculptor. Casey Viator added over 3 inches to his arms in 28 days by simply using this device stacked with pre and post workout fizzy lifting drinks. It was known as the Colorado Experiment.

;D 2015-1978-1967. :o :o :o

The image on the left is from Nov 2006 at an OCB contest he guest posed at (the Yorton Cup in Pittsburgh, PA). The two images on the right are from Chet guest posing at the Oct 2007 Yorton Cup in Washington, DC. Chet was born June 1, 1939 so he was 67 and 68 in these pictures.

Chet spoke out against steroids his whole life. Those who may not believe he was drug free may not understand the difference genetics can make. Chet was genetically gifted. Try to find one photo of Chet with "moon face". You won't.

Chet is lifetime natural. Arnold was only 19 when he lost to Chet, and if you look at the photos from 1966 you'll see Arnold was "fat", meaning not very conditioned. A lot of people would have beat Arnold the way he looked at 19 at that contest.

LOL at the photoshop. Yes, I tried to get rid of the fat chins! Looks bad there. So here is a new edit with only red eye reduction and camera raw filter.

My biceps-supinator machine has been modified since that photo was taken. Still the best biceps machine made. I increased what I use on it by 10 pounds this week.

So I am going to see if I can reach 18 1/2 inches cold by my birthday on September 21st.

Just for Josh. The original was taken off a mirror. Lots of fog and glare in the photo.
