Bill Pearl, Frank Zane and Steve Reeves…absolutely the greatest physiques of their respective days, and all time. And let's not forget about Bill's strongman gigs, you know, ripping license plates in half and bending tent stakes.
Anyone can have a big arm if they weigh enough. After all's said & done, the real deal's upper-arm size relative to waist, (see 00:09– 00:27). On those terms, today's guys don't hold a candle to Bill Pearl.
In your other video featuring Bill Pearl you have a photo of him standing right beside Sergio Oliva at the 1971 NABBA Universe and he was actually bigger than Sergio. A point to remember also . . Bill didn't pump up prior to going on stage. He said in an interview in Iron Man Magazine following that win that he could see Sergio deflating right beside him as he, (Bill) just got bigger and bigger the more he posed and flexed.
Btw, Bill Pearl was an exercise encyclopedia. I bought Bill Pearl's Fabulous Forearms for $6.99 and am on the last week of his 6 week forearm protocol. The gains are insane. It is brutal. His forearms were massive, and most would be in shock when they saw them in person.
So anyone that is serious about training, and wants to increase their forearm size, do this. It is brutal though, I'll be honest. Go buy the book.
Now, that was what I call "Aesthetic Bodybuilding"… Steve Reeves, Bill Pearl, Dave Draper, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo, Bertil Fox, Robbie Robinson, Mike and Ray Mentzer, Samir Bannout, Casey Viator, Sergio Oliva, Serge Nubret, and Lee Labrada …You don't see too much of it anymore, lately…just "Freaky-and-Bulky Bodybuilding."🐒
There is a lot more about Bill Pearl.Bill was and is a genius.Anyone who doubts it should spend a little tile reading "Keys To The Inner Universe" and you will see what I mean!
SIMPLY ASKING, DID BILL PEARL EVER GO ON THE " JUICE " AKA, STEROIDS. BY THE WAY ,I GREATLY ADMIRE THE SAID GENTLEMAN, MANY YEARS AGO, I BOUGHT HIS BOOK, " KEYS TO THE INNER UNIVERSE " , THE BIBLE OF BODYBUILDING.

One of the ten greatest bodybuilders ever. He beat some very good bodybuilders at NABBA.
He and Draper have spoken about what has gone wrong with the sport, as did Reeves before he died.
