Sounds fucked up

Sounds fucked up

Assuming he was natty, he must have had a naturally high test level.

Maybe that made him act up.

Dude was strong as heck.

His workouts were insane for the Mr. America that he won in '51.

Hilligen made a huge comeback in the 1970`s and I saw him in mags.........he was in great shape.
