Title: Where Did Bill Pearl Get His Protein?
Post by: The_Hammer on January 21, 2011, 02:56:22 PM
The guy was huge, but a vegetarian.  Where did he get his protein (other than sperm)? 

They didn't have protein powder back in his day.

I forgot he was a vegan...probably a lacto/ovo vegetarian.

Can`t see him with his build with little to no complete protein,plus I doubt that he was a vegan all of his life and most likely became one as he got older.

It's hard to get a real answer on this, but the bigger Track and Field guys averaged about close to 50mg of it a day, plus 500-750 mg of test  a week and a few assorted orals like anadrol(usually 50mg a day), etc.... that's what circa late 60's-70's dosing seems to have looked like. I'd venture to say most of the better bodybuilders were on similar. When you read some of the actual stacks run by strength athletes during that time, it's hard to get a read on the actual oral dosage, because it seemed like many practiced the "orals don't count" theory of stacking.


I also heard it was Callard that Jones pulled his gun on, for smoking weed with his son. But Jones seemed like the type that liked to pull his gun out a lot.

Actually, Bill's a great guy that happens to have quite a bit of American Indian in him.  He is also very heterosexual, more so than some that post here.  Currently resides near Medford, Oregon.  A genuinely great guy.

Hey Coach,  you said on a post a while ago that you got to wear a pair of Pearl's posing trunks after he gave you a loan of them. Didn't that feel a bit weird ?  Didn't that Moosejay guy also get to wear the famous trunks?

Old Dianabol was 5 mg . Another thing that crossed my mind right now was that old story that "Xyz only took 5mg a day" that you'll repeated sometimes. Well that's partially true, Ziegler's recommended dose was 5mg a day, but Harold Connolly, who was a Track and Field record holder and a early user, mentioned that when he got on it in 1958 or 59, he and his contemporaries tried it for a month or two at dose and saw nothing. So they gradually bumped it up 5mg till they got to 20 mg a day that was where they felt they actually saw stunning changes(for their time).

Well "Big Al" since it was my first contest and I had no idea where to get trunks from, Bill gave me trunks, the same ones he wore when he won the  71' Universe....8 years before he gave them to me. Yes, he was the one who helped me with my first posing routine..along with his wife Judy who also took them down (sewed them) so they would fit me and Ed Corney. Is it gay? hell no. Knowing Bill if anyone made that accusation in front of him he wouldn't hesitate beat your ass. Nice guy but don't piss him off or his brother Harry.

Yes 20 mg is where I notice it also but if I try to go over 30mg then sides like painfull pumps from just walking up stairs , forearm pumps so cant hold the bar when training back etc just get to much.  :'(

I laugh at guys like Larry Scott saying they had a huge meeting to see if it was safe to bump the dose from 5mg to 10mg a day lol.

Pearl always played down his own steriod use. He is much bigger is pictures from the late 50's onwards compared to his natural status in the early 50's.
Coach, did Pearl give much advice on steriod taking activities?  Was it part of his training advice? In the 70's/80's  in Scotland the standard activity for size would be 25mg Dbol and a shot of decca every 2 weeks for a beginner.

Yes, they did. Soy protein was avaiable, although from all accounts, it tasted terrible.

And, as others have mentioned, Rheo Blair made a milk-and-egg protein powder that bodybuilders back his Pearl's day used.

Pearl was a lacto/ovo vegetarian, not a vegan (someone who consume NO animal products whatsoever). It's not that hard to put on size on a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet.

Nowadays, it's really not that hard to do so on a vegan diet. There are more pure veggie proteins available, than there were then. And, more dietary information is handy, regarding how to combine veggies and grains to get complete proteins.

Post by: jpm101 on January 23, 2011, 08:50:57 AM
Said that Pearl's older brother was bigger and stronger than him. And that he did some serious prison time. Believe it was murder, years ago. This was when California joints had weight's and big brother was very impressive on doing benches. Any one confirm any of this? Reminds me that Sergio once said that his older  brother (back in Cuba..an Olympic lifter) was bigger and stronger than he was.

 Yes, genetics is a wonderful thing. Guy's like Pearl could probably eat nothing but grains and veggie's and get huge. Lower protein or not, their bodies were primed naturally for muscle size & strength. A lot of my Polynesian brothers are like that. Eat garbage,smoke cigars, drink 40's all day, little sleep and get massive and powerful through one or two workouts a week.

Yes, but the great Romanian bodybuilder Sevastase claims to take over 100 mg a day. Isn't true if you want to get as awesome as him, you will require similar doses.

Freddy Ortiz did the same, apparently several handfuls throughout the day, they took it like it was dessicated liver tabs, it wasnt illegal, no stigma, and no-one was aware of potential health hazards
