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

Don Youngblood: "I actually did not start bodybuilding until I have 33. I spent my first 13 years building my business before I started bodybuilding."

They say Don was absolutely enormous in real life.

He was quite the snappy dresser too.

Great delts.

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.

Andro-Kid is Nether Animal. Same worship-type posting style.

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.

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.

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
