93 years is a hell of a good run.

he's left an interesting legacy. on the one hand, he introduced bodybuilding to millions of people, but he filled us all with a bunch of bs on how to properly workout.

either way, rip jw.

I'd call that a very successful life.

Maybe you can take some advices from Rocky.

Judging by your pictures, you look a lot like Bob. :)

RIP, he did so many things for the world of bodybuilding...

Things were so easy and simple back then.

I had a lot of his magazines and learned a lot about how to train smart, what to eat and what not. And he always had a funny and cool side I always enjoyed

RIP big man
