What a fool.
I remember reading an article in MD about him where they said "Don doesn't need bodybuilding, bodybuilding needs him".
He was a hard working dude - hope it was woth it.
hell no! had a successful construction company, wife, kids and grandkids but he let bbing take him out. one of biggest fools to grace an ifbb stage in thongs.
Don Youngblood was a trucker earlier in his life so that may have contributed to his ill health. FLEX published a photo of him at age 28 before he started training and he was overweight. He had gone through angioplasty a little while before he died and was still considering a comeback at the 2006 New York Pro, but died a year prior to that.
Although I would agree that with a business that most likely did millions a year in sales, that bodybuilding was not necessarily a wise idea given the health risks it entails. Why consider pro bodybuilding after angioplasty? Who knows, but obviously Don loved it, for whatever reason.
