Clancy never used steroids.

He ran the very first commercial gym I ever joined and I was lucky to have known him.

Great guy. Will be very deeply missed by MANY.

I too bummed out. Feel so sad.

I was never a BBer, just a weight lifter, until I graduated high school and joined the "Clancy Ross Mr. America Club". He made me a BBer.

A man's man like Ross is gone and all the fairies on this board want to talk about is Chick and Lee "The Fire Hydrant" Priest.

Forget it.  He woudn't be interested.  He was straight as an arrow.  Nothing like today's crop of  "muscle escorts".  In his day you would have gotten a black eye even for a handshake that lingered a moment too long.

Great pictures in the link to the other thread. These legends sure had great natural physiques. Powerful too. You don't see many guys able to do dips with two guys hanging on them.

Very sad. Another legend from bodybuilding's golden era passes. Not too many left, I would think.

These were true bodybuilders who lifted weights simply because they enjoyed it.

I am saddened with this news.  :(

84 yo means he outlived normal male life expectancy by approx 5 yrs.  Wonder how many pro BBers these days will do that.
