So hes 262 in the pics?
actually 131 kg = about 290 lbs. i have a hard time believing that.
about gear and dead by 30 and all that dumb shit..... Gary looking great. no back shots though.
I don't know about you but I don't think old bodybuilders should be trying to regain what they once had by trying to be as big as they once were. I just can't imagine that being healthy.
In that offseason pic with jeans he may very well be 290lb. I'd even say - easily. He looks tank in these pics, and looking tank at his height is usualy when you are around 280-290mark. He's obviously lighter in current precontest pics.
You honestly think that picture represents a guy weighing 290? Look at his face. Not even close to that weight. I'm guessing 255 tops. When you see Gary in person, he does look incrediable. But he doesn't have that Nassar/Cutler/Dillet width that is jaw dropping in person. He has hints of the 3D effect but you need the 3D glasses to see it. Guys like Nassar/Cutler don't need the glasses to see the freakness.
Fukkin' hell.. bottom pic is 131kg. Dude's a tank.
Does he live in a hotel?
.
What year was it when he weighed in at 228 against Haney?
Didn't Youngblood live to be Gary's age?
Don Youngblood would have been 57 right now. He died @ 51 years old in 2005.
Guy juiced like no tomorrow...what turned out to be the case for him. RIP
He had been an out-of-shape longhaul trucker for most of his life. My guess is that he was already extremely unhealthy prior to beginning his bodybuilding career, which was VERY late in the game. Since I was also in the trucking industry, we used to talk (via email) quite a lot. I still have emails from him.Very sad, but he was a day late and a dollar short.
