I am sure some here remember the great Chet Yorton. Here he is through the years. The video is of Chet Yorton at 70; he pulls no punches on his views of how bodybuilding has changed through the years.

the pioneers of our sport are always an inspiration to me...
Lift as MUCH as you can, for as MANY reps as you can,
while in complete control of the exercise.

LOL, I like Chet, telling it like it is! I read the articles above, very impressive man. Once again I am reminded of how good the old guys looked. I looked at the magazine covers also and noticed on the last one a title "Lou Ferrigno speaks out for natural bodybuilding" WTF? I was kinda thinking ol Lou just might not be natural. LOL
FCrivello, I appreciate you posting these "oldies" I have enjoyed them.O35 5'8" Crew

Great line from a great video!Originally Posted by IronCharles"Never took steroids in my life, and of course, at 70, I won't start now."
He kept working out through all those decades. Seems to me it wasn't just for glory of titles. A true role model. Rather rare.Originally Posted by thebigguyHE looks FANTASTIC! A testament to bodybuilding done RIGHT!Last edited by FCrivello; 05-26-2012 at 05:01 AM.

Great stuff. I hope BBing gets back to a more "classic" look. More is not always better

Well, if he beat Arnold back in the day, I know by the looks of things He'd beat hands down right now ;-)
slow and steady wins the race. What ever Chet did has worked well. Guys a life long testament to natural BBing.
