Let's put the Olympia showing aside for the moment, because he went in against the request of his peers and was way off.
His earlier Masters showings were very impressive. He had a good back and great delts. Weaknesses were hamstrings and shallow abs.

Destroying Honore Cironte and (I believe) Stan Frydrych.

Good, but should not have beaten Vince Taylor!

Vince talked about that in his interview with John Hansen. He said that he could see it coming, Youngblood had the "powers that be" behind him.

He came in off because at his age, there would have been no way to hold that conditioning he had at the Masters no matter how much stuff he had running through his system.
Sadly, he tried to repeat success and died for it. People warned him repeatedly not to do it and he just didn't listen. He had a great family, awesome trucking business, lots of money, etc....and he died trying to get a gold metal.

I'm old enough but it would be in the NGA or INBF. Not doing any NPC shows ever again if I decide to compete again

Good post.
Sadly, that is an accurate summary of the man and his life in/out of bodybuilding.

is he still competing?
-
Fairly underrated.
Classic "working man", "blue collar" physique.
For his wife and kids to see him die so young was a damn shame.
-
Good deltoids and back.
Legs, Triceps, and Pecs were his weak points.

This is pro bodybuilding.... 2002 Mr Olympia... Don Youngblood who was posing, is dead. Mike Matarazzo, who was commentating, is dead.
Other noteworthy things about some of the guys in this particular show: Nasser = dead, Attwood = dead, Titus = convicted murderer, Ronnie = body fell apart, joints are destroyed, and is getting even worse

Don looked phenomenal there and sexy as hell with those hip gyrations. Men of his age are smoldering when they pick up weight training.

He had a nasty gut at the Olympia. Made his legs and arms look smaller by proxy. Routine was also pretty lame.

Bullshit. Don was hotter than fire and looked fantastic.
He looked patently schmoetastic!

My best friend use to workout with don Youngblood and Chris Obana at the fort smith golds gym that was owned by our good friend Rhett! I first met don I was 18 it was before he won the Olympia masters, and chad Nichols use to train my buddy juice walker up in springfield!

Accused me on Youtube of threatening his little girl that I would kill her and his family
-
1,, kevin is not following youngblood steps ,, kevin is older and has much beter genetic respond to hormones and is healthier than what don was ..don had prior condition
2,, youngblood was 2 dimentional ..he lacked fibercious delisious fibers that make any of us at the top tier a top tier
he did manage to win master o .. which put his mark in history he was strong but also had a pre condition i believe

Can we discuss Don's cause of death here?
As I understood it, he had undergone angioplasty at some point since being told he was allowed to compete as a pro - that was in 1998, and Don had essentially retired from bodybuilding at that point. That is why Don took three years to get back into competitive shape, as he had to start from scratch at that point. I am unsure when the angioplasty procedure had taken place, but it may have been between his most recent competition in 2002 and the date of his death in 2005. Ron had posted a photo of Don from the 2004 NPC Nationals where he appeared to be over 300-lb with blood pressure through the roof [photo attached]. Don had previously been very lean in the off-season at 295, so I suspect he was at least 315 in the off-season photo from the Nationals. It was a horrible idea for someone who had been through angioplasty.
One thing I am not sure of is the exact cause of death. Bob Cicherillo reported it as a "massive heart attack", but I am not sure if it was caused by drug usage in any way. Someone on here stated that Don used insulin improperly, which caused his death. Another message board said that Don used a lot of recreational drugs, specifically speed. It does make me wonder with any death this young.
Can anyone elaborate on any of this? I believe enough time since Don's death has passed that we can have this discussion. It might be a wake-up call for other pro bodybuilders.

What's your point? And Lee Haney fucking destroys Benfatto. We get it you like little guys cause you are little. The bigger dude who also has lines will always win
-
So was his 2002 Master's win based on conditioning? Some say he was friendly with the judges, but I am not sure what that meant - friendly, as in, he was shaking hands and getting to know them? He had been to something like every Mr. Olympia contest from 1990 onwards. That allowed him a lot of time to get to know the judges as friends. I would hope friendly did not mean sexual favours or bribes - Don was very wealthy, and already a millionaire from his trucking business, SDS Transportation in Alma. He had a fleet of over trucks - trucks which I do not think come cheap:

Agreed. And Lee Labrada on one or two occasions was much better than Haney. And some folk here think Arnold was gifted the 80 Olympia...Haney and Yates both received more than one gift of the title.
Back on topic. Youngblood was a typical doper. He's dead now, correct? I would say that's indicative of how good he was.

nono,,
haney is top 5 bodybuild ever ,, very very few are beter than him ..dexjax...ron ...then you got hainey pretty much with dorian and arnold..this is your top 5 my friendly friends...

Bob Paris was better than Haney. Lee Labrada was better than Haney at least twice. Sergio Oliva was better than Haney. Zane too. No one beats the Oak and to be honest, I think Yates was better than Haney too. Haney was much better than that slob of a blob, Coleman.
But its all subjective. Except for the Oak. It's over when it comes to the one and only Arnold. And Coleman doesn't belong on stage at all. What a poker of a moron he was and is.
Of true naturals there are Reeves and Park at the top.

Personally, I just don't think he's all that and a bag of chips. From my perspective I think Joe Weider gave him 8 wins to try and "teach" Arnold a lesson. To somehow "humble" the Oak. Of course it didn't work because Arnold is Arnold and outside of schmoe infested bodybuilding no one gives an intercourse about knowing who Haney or the idiot known as Coleman are. Or for that matter, the midget Phildo.
But the whole world knows who Arnold is.

Haney is nothing. N.O.T.H.I.N.G. The fact that Wiggs worships him just proves he's crap because Wiggs is a fly for that guy. And you? Do you buzz around the pyramid that is Haney too? By your own words it does appear so. So be it.

let me get a metaphore from artists ..performers..
comparing haney to anyone from his time... including dorian even though dorian was getting up there but to compare him to any other bodybuildl in the 80s would be like comparing sting to that retard who sing your body is wonderland jon something... legend?
i mean haney was sting like .. the rest were john legend like ..they could write music ..they had few hits but comparing them to sting is laughable lol

He was gifted a few Olympias. He may be a nice enough guy, but given his lying I say he can go intercourse himself. He looks like a normal guy now without his little helpers. So much for Weider supplements and good food. And "genetics".
Wiggs sucks on any black teat he can and Haney is his favorite bodybuilder to nurse on. After all, black is the original black...Or some doofus sheit like that.
You are a lot younger than me. You came up in the ranks after Haney? You are young. ;D As for axing other bodybuilders, the majority of them cannot put together a sentence much less take a fast food order so I am going to have to pass on axing them their opinion on Haney.

Not hardly, but if you wish to have a battle of wits, I suggest you go to school before you get schooled. ;D
Paris was better built. Far more aesthetic and much more handsome. And far superior at presenting his physique. So much so that women truly loved the man. Even after he came squealing out of his closet the babes adored Paris and not just the fruit fly types.
I just state what I hold true. If you disagree, that's fine.

Yup. He was a fool to throw his life (literally) away. And for what? A "title". Worthless and pathetic come to mind. He knew what he was doing so I cannot pity his outcome. But I feel for his family (if he had one).

Not sure what contest you are thinking about but it ain't bodybuilding. Haney mopped the floor with Paris. Paris was never a serious threat. Did he ever even place top 5 in the O? Not even close to to tier. And if you want to make a schmoe category then Matt Mendenhall kicks Paris's ass there.

You prefer Haney, I prefer Paris. I don't do "tiers". I happen to think Bob Paris was far better than Haney. You don't . It has nothing to do with schomes, whom I find disgusting whether they are schmoemosexuals or shenis loving schmoes. You brought up the whole schmoe scene, not I, so its your schmoe 'n' tell here.
Mendenhall was overrated but again, that is my take on his physique and may or may not match yours.

i was bummed when the dude passed. he was a perfect example of how to properly site-inject delts. probably should've won in '01 (felt bad for vince taylor as everybody was getting older and catching up and he no longer had a stranglehold on the Masters Olympia. the other dude who placed 3rd Geir Borgan Paulsen, probably couldve been 2nd and put vince in 3rd. thought it was funny when they had to do away with the masters olympia because many of the regular Olympia contestants would also qualify for the masters now because of growth hormone. lol

I'm not sure why your posts get trashed all the time, as this one seems legit. I will have to follow the dispute you are having with other Getbiggers. Incidentally, I was in rehab with some Getbiggers last spring and...jk. ;D
When they did have the last Master's Olympia when Dennis James had his "comeback" after two years since the 2010 Mr. Olympia and confessing to his actual age of 45 in 2010, check out how the top 10 looked:
[1] Dexter Jackson
[2] Toney Freeman
[3] Dennis James
[4] Edward Nunn
[5] Ronny Rockel
[6] Michalis Kefalianos
[7] Darrem Charles
[8] Bill Wilmore
[9] Troy Alves
[10] Andrew Jemmott
Aside from Andrew Jemmott, who I am not familiar with, this looks like the lineup of any given pro show - almost to this day. ;D
That's what I found funny about that Master's - in addition to the comeback of Dennis James, where he was already on literally half the gear he takes for contests just walking around expos. Dennis talked to Lonnie Teper about his size, and called his large post-retirement muscles "leftovers". Yeah, leftovers - also known as taking 10 times the recommended dose of TRT. ;D :-X
So yeah, you had the comeback of Dennis James, and you also had a lineup of normal Mr. Olympia competitors, as opposed to any old guys - again, just a normal lineup, haha.
I also agree with you on Geir Borgan Paulsen - I believe he was 45 at the time, and I read more than one critic/comment stating that he could have won. However, if you watch the GMV.com.au DVD, you will see that Vince Taylor was NOT happy when Don Youngblood won. So whether or not he should have, Taylor definitely felt that he was the winner.
Here is my review of the contest/DVD [just put bodybuilding and pro together - as Ron blocked my website due to my spamming it for a week in 2010:
http://www.bodybuilding pro.com/mastersolympiadvdreview2002.html
Also, interesting fact: Don Youngblood went from 240-lb at 5'9 in 2001 at age 47 to 247-lb in 2002. So he put on a solid 7-lb of muscle while maintaining, if not improving upon, his conditioning. That is pretty impressive at that age, regardless of what he was on - but with his business income, he could probably afford all of the top of the line gear.
Sadly, Don was featured in the 2002 Dead Pool. :-\ Full text here from the web archive, since the original copy was taken down by T-Nation for some reason:

Doug Oldblood
Okay, I can kinda' understand why these young guys would be such kamikazes with their drug use. After all, they're trying to make a living (however slim the chances of that) at this flex-for-pay thing. But why on earth would a guy pushing fifty, with a successful trucking business, a wife and kids, do the same? Doug shocked everybody in 2001 by showing up at the Master's Olympia looking positively gnarly — thick and shredded at 5' 10", 240.
An argument could even be made that he should have beaten Vince Taylor. But holy smokes, if the body doesn't cry out rampant steroid abuse, the face does. Doug has that common Neanderthal GH brow and cheekbones, plus the beet-red face and disappearing hairline. If he did indeed overdo the drugs, you have to wonder why he's subjecting his aging body to the chemical cocktail it would most likely take to look like this. After all, the prize money for winning the Master's O is probably what he pulls in every week from his business.
Yet another interesting fact: Don Youngblood was the favourite bodybuilder of Getbig's own BayGBM! Bay Area Gay Black Man? I think.

What is so awesome about Don is he started bb at age 35 and still got so good he beat Vince Taylor and won the Masters O. Very inspiring feat.

Not to grasp at c*nt hairs, but it was 33 that Don started bodybuilding, not 35. ;D

I have read 33 and 34, but never 35. Chad Nicholls did an interview of him for his old MuscleMayhem website, and I believe he said 34 there. But I don't recall 35. He was winning the state Master's Heavyweight Nationals at age 40. So the Arkansas Master's Nationals. Then I believe in 1994, at the age of 41, he won the Arkansas heavyweight in the open category. I am pretty sure that's how it happened.
Then he got a letter from either Jim Manion or Steve Weinberger [Manion would make more sense here, I think] that due to his 1994 win of the NPC Master's in the heavyweight class, he would be granted his pro card. I recall reading that he was ecstatic and on the verge of tears. Although it may have been 1995 that this happened - where he won the NPC Nationals in the Master's heavyweight class, or potentially even the overall. I just can't recall at this point.
In 1998 when he was told he turned pro, it took him a few years to get back into pro bodybuilding shape. But he was able to do it, and almost beat Vince Taylor in 2001 - only to beat him the next year in 2002, at 5'9 and 247-lb.
The "guest" is back. Ready to rat people out again? It must've felt bad when the mods called you an asshole on the main boards.

Are you accusing Andro-Kid of phaggotry? :D

If bodybuilders could take out their heart muscle to show the judges they would train it like crazy. Since no one sees it no one cares to seriously train it.

His skin had a very healthy purple glow.
even without increasing blood pressure, androgens increase heat/blood flow to certain areas of the body such as he neck and upper chest area, combine that with an increase in blood pressure then you get extra dark/purple/red/brown
