That makes sense. I wonder if he kept working out hard every day and by the time he realized it was something serious it was too late.

blahhh I thought this guy would live to be 100. This bothers me, he was very inspirational, I'm glad there's actually some media coverage about it, the man earned it.

I don't think sauce was widely available at his peak during the 40's.He was 39 in that pic.He was also a shorter guy,so not so hard to get really muscular.Try to find his numerous impressive lifts from his prime,many oddball ones no longer done today.
