Ironage bodybuilder Chet Yorton - Was/is he natural?
« on: August 19, 2010, 03:01:14 PM »
There was an interview by Rod Labbe in the September 2010 issue of Iron Man Magazine, starting on page 142, here is the cover but that is NOT Chet on the cover :



This is part of Iron Man's "Legends of Bodybuilding" series of interviews and was the first one I had read but I quite enjoyed the column as it contained a lot of very specific trivia regarding ironage bodybuilding and Rod asked intelligent questions.

Anyway, in the interview, Chet was insistent that natural bodybuilding is better than juiced bodybuilding and even stated "The only people I cater to are natural bodybuilders; I don't care about the druggers."

Here is a video of him at age 70:





The first photo attached is of Chet at his prime when he was 6'0 and 220 pounds in contest condition.  The second photo attached is from Chet posing at the 2006 IFPA Yorton Cup - the contest named after Chet. He is 67 years old in that photo.

I'm asking this question because Chet was absolutely staunchly opposed to steroids.  If Chet is or was indeed juiced, how is it possible for people to live lives in denial like that?  ???  It reminds me of gay people I know who literally live their entire lives as straight men and even have families, in some cases even bashing gays, only to themselves come out of the closet much later in life.  This kind of denial is shocking to me.

Can either rendition of Chet be a "natural" physique?

I trained at Yorton's old gym in the late 70's in Vegas when i was a teenager. He always looked great, was always against steroids and swore up and down he didn't take them. Either he's one of the world's best naturals or he's a pathological liar. But on a board like this, where 98% of the guys think 165 cut is the natural limit, I know what the answer will be.

Not a bad idea. At that point, you're most likely pretty care-free - right?

I may do the same. Roid-rage at the retirement manor.

If he isn't natural, he has been taking steroids longer than anyone, because he always looks good.  He looks to be in good health.

I think it has more to do with test levels found is nature. Buffalo and Oxen have simliiar test levels, yet there is no animal in nature that has the hormone levels of fridge.

lol..Actually, it's an excellent question.  Makes you wonder WTF's up with Chet.

There are numerous homosexual [bisexual?] guys I know that were married and who had children who only then opened up about their homosexuality.  How does something like that happen?  Another bisexual person I know is also the most hostile person that I know to homosexuals.  He will bash gays left and right yet he himself is either gay or bi.  If Chet is on juice, he must have been using for literally 50 years.  How can such a person be in denial?  Is it out of self-hatred?  I just don't understand that type of mentality.

Or Chet is natural and has some of the best genetics in the history of bodybuilding.

No way Chet Yorton is or was natural.  ALL the top guys in the 60's who ever graced a magazine cover took something at one time or another.  You don't compete against guys like Draper, Pearl, Sergio, Zane without taking steroids.  Chuck Sipes was a huge juicer as well.  They all lied.  And yes many were pathological liars.  Why is that so hard for people to believe?  These guys entire lives revolved around bodybuilding.  The honest guys will tell you that they didn't really know what they were taking and thought it was vitamins or what not.  John Grimek used dbol for a short period of time.  So for Chet to say he never used anything is bullshit.

He's not natural...


HE S THE PROOF THAT REASONNABLE DOSE OF STEROID ARE GOOD FOR THE HEALTH.


Lot of iron-ager are pathetic liar, it's an ego trip,

"i benched 500lbs and squatted 800 with 25 mg oral primobolan"

"once i've tried androtardyl, 250mg a week for 4 week, i benched 220lbs for 55 reps at the end..."

Is the kind of thing you can hear at my gym from "iron ager", the pathetic thing is that they all got busted or tested positive for roids.

The guy was about 6' tall and 200lbs, and far from shredded, which wasn't in vogue in those days.  I don't believe he needed juice to do it.  Now that he is much older, he may very well be using, but I don't think he was in his prime.

uggh, those iron age retards are the worst.....its some kind of bizarre badge of honor, who could out under-juice who

"back then the ciba dbol was so strong, you only needed a tablet or two per week...........and even then, only in the month prior to the contest"

when in reality they were taking handfuls of it, there is an old story of sergio oliva literally taking a HANDFUL with each meal.........that not an exaggeation, he would literally pull out a tub of them, and scoop out a handful, EACH TIME HE ATE


every old guy no matter what he does has his "back in the day we were so much better because........." story



bunch of old liars sucking each others cocks over there, not realizing that they are only lying to themselves




ever since there was BODYBUILDING, drugs have been a inseparably huge component.............th ese old fucks had no more qualms about taking drugs then guys today, there was just less kinds around, and the knowledge wasnt all there


anyone who thinks Chet didnt use drugs, and still uses drugs, is retarded..............no tice how much water bloat all these old guy were carrying at low levels of bodyfat, thats from androgens, no one else carries water bloat when their body is in single digit bodyfat levels

Just read that.  Thanks for posting.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, that's so funny, but also true.  Great post other than this too.  Accurate overall assessment I would say.

of course he's natural.

dbol doesnt count ::)

Maybe "natural" is being defined as anabolic steroids only and no GH/insulin?

epic quote, at my gym it's   "six week at 250 mg of androtardyl six month before contest, that was all but back in the day we were iron warrior..."

the 500lbs bencher only with 25mg primo tablet is also know for epic jaundice that lead him to hospital and depression...
