Bob had one of the most amazing physiques of all time. However he was a deep and troubled young man who without question had difficulty justifing steroid use and the whole moral issue around a grown man just lifting weights for a living.Couple this with a very tempestious relationship with joe weider regarding how bobs sexuality was portrayed in the mags, it is little wonder the gave up at 33.
I still think his best shape may have been when he won the 1983 nationals.

For those of you interested, Bobs book ''Gorilla Suit'' is a very insightful look at how he viewed Bodybuilding.
