Bill Pearl's history with Nautilus/Arthur Jones/HIT

[IroNat]

Pearl started using in the later 50's and never looked back.

Logically he lied about it and one lie begets the next.

Everybody used, everybody lied about it.

He trained under Leo Stern who also trained Steve Reeves.

Stern knew the game.

His first wins in the early 50s were likely natty like he was here...

he was the main character in AJ's horror film

For reference on what Leo said about Steroids and bodybuilding in general, try to locate the interview he did with MMI - around 1984 for or so. That's the Leo Stern I knew, a straight shooter as they used to call those men back in the day.

Be Safe and Strong.

Pearl admitted that Arnold wanted to compete with him but Joe Weider wasn't fond of the idea, especially in a non-IFBB sanctioned contest like the NABBA

Amazing that a drug free Pearl looked better than a juiced up Arnold!
