Tony Pearson is one of my favorite bodybuilder and best back ...Great story and Tony's story is very much the same as mine .I started weight training at 16 years old to feel stronger mentally and physically in order to defend myself against my father .53 years old now and i still dealing with trauma but bodybuilding always been my passion and i will be training till my last breath...Tony is such a great human being and certainly a bodybuilder with an amazing physique ...Thank you
This man has had a lot of hardship when he was young.
I have a 15 year old son. He is the most important person in the world to me.
He gets good grades in school, he's in JROTC(which he loves), hes got a job, he loves animals and people. He's a great kid, and i couldnt be more proud.
Him and i have recently started going to the gym. Im tall and skinny(6'4", 200lbs). My son is 6'2", 290lbs(he's a giant). I think hes got great genetics for body building.
After watching this video, ive come to one thought.......
Years after im gone, i hope my son will talk higher of me than this man talked about his dad!!!
Im not saying he dosnt have a great reason to say bad things about his dad, he obviously does. I just pray that im a much better father, even with all my faults.
God bless!
So awesome blessings!!!
The fact that u care ...already makes you better than most
You can act as the father you want to be remembered as. It would make a better life for you and son while you’re still alive.
I didn't intend to watch all this, but I couldn't stop watching it. great interview.
Lee Haney has talked about how he looked up to Tony Pearson as a young bodybuilder.
Tony's back was incredible.
I'm 60 years old and still train the old school way. "Just Weights" as Tony says. You can definitely see the difference in the physic of one who trains years with free weights vs. one who utilities a variation of training their body.
Great interview Tony!👍
Saw him in 81 at the greater Florida. I competed as a teen. He was the guest poser. He walked past me. I couldn't believe how much muscle he actually had. Pictures do no justice
Tony is such an inspiration for so many reasons. Not the least of which is his articulation and intelligence. Havent seen another bodybuilder with such a poised manner.
What a likeable and a first class man. Great interview and thank you for sharing your wisdom, experience and expertise on training and mindset Tony!
I know tony from the magazine and now many years later i learn what a cool and positive guy he is.
Strength doesn't come easy.
Heart breaking story.
I can tell you forgave them all and moved on and succeed big time. Big love man!
Tony Pearson what an inspiration after all the things he suffered as a child he still became the man we all admire for not only his achievements but for his gentle soul, kudos Tony, thanks for your honesty and openness.

Hats off to Tony Pearson for rising above early adversity, and shout out to Escape fitness for another amazing interview 🙏🏼🙌🏽
What an inspirational man. Loved his book.
Great interview, Tony Pearson is amazing and intriguing man to listen to..Proof that there's more to life than building championship muscle ..It's the life journey that goes along side it..He speaks rather eloquent ..The sound of his voice reminds me of Sidney Poitier..

The ROIDERS are too SCARED to come off of the STEROIDS because they would LOSE all their "size" and "strength"!
This just proves that the ONLY difference is the STEROIDS between someone that uses and not uses! The difference is NOT because they lift weights, eat and sleep. People that lift WITHOUT STEROIDS do that!
You are NOT FOOLING us!!!
Lift weights WITHOUT STEROIDS and let's see how "big" & "strong" you REALLY are!

Thank you!🙏
It’s great to see a genuine star from my youth looking so healthy and positive. In the early 80s we had only muscle mags to form an opinion of what a star bodybuilder was like. Tony Pearson always came across as a really nice person in interviews, I remember his image transformation in 1983, just a few years after winning the Pro Mr. Universe, with a new hair and nose job 😂 he really looked like the Michael Jackson of bodybuilding, well at least for a few years before the crazy pop star lost his marbles and skin colour 😂 Pearson couldn’t have been more different than Bertil Fox, a contemporary of immense proportions, tipped as a future Mr. O, but who came across as egotistical and acidic. It didn’t surprise me that Fox ended up incarcerated for a horrible double murder.
Pearson was a superb pro and had one of the greatest shoulder to waist differentials ever seen. But I remember his high calves and short muscle bellies weakness didn’t get him far at the Mr. O. Still at 63 years old, he is a great example of a bodybuilder who did things the right way, the winning way 🏆
bruh he doesnt even remotely resemble Michael Jackson. Stop disrespecting Michael. stop
@@AC-mp7cx No disrespect, that was the common concensus at the time, Pearson was touted as the Michael Jackson of bodybuilding after he did an image makeover. Look it up in the old bodybuilding mags of the early/mid 80s. It isn’t just me saying that, In fact ironically I thought he looked more like MJ as a kid, before either of them had surgery. Pearson was gambling on that lucrative image transformation to boost his career. I remember reading that he was unhappy with his looks and was concerned his career had flatlined a little in both single and mixed doubles bodybuilding shows. He did the nose job and hair and voila, they latched on to that MJ resemblance thing.
Oh my God, what a horrible childhood. So glad he made it out, though it leaves scars for life. Tony had quads and hamstrings, though genetically had high calves. Otherwise, he had the whole package. Excellent interview!
Thanks to slavery, racism and the hate by Caucasians, he had such a childhood.
@@jamesmarks300 lol wut.
@@PEEERRRR
YOU'RE laughing because YOU'RE a CAUCASIAN. Can you disprove anything I wrote?!
Growing up, Pearson, was one of my favs. This guy has interviewed two of my favorite bodybuilders, Zane and Pearson. Like his interview style.

You gotta be trolling with all these comments. You care that much what other guys do with their body?
@@anthonybenincasa well said my friend 👍 , there is always one tit making shitty comments .
Mr. Pearson is an excellent interviewee …. good storyteller and communicator.
Great to see Tony looking so good. Remember him from the old days. Very light bone structure and always did a lot of sets per exercise. Really worked his ass off to build a great physique!
Thanks to Champion Tony , great advices for exercising. I like old school body-building. 😊
I remember him in all the magazines in the 80s. His biceps were as good as it gets. Legend
This is legend!!!! I love bodybuilding and who doesn't love vegas

Real good interview good guy Tony Pearson
He took me back to childhood which was so similar , very inspiring , I am now 63yrs old disabled because of the over training but I'm starting to train very little .
I'm 52 (from Toronto,Canada) and I had a similar upbringing/childhood. It just blows my mind how similar so-called "black" boys/men have to go through the BS just to survive! It is insane!
It was nice to see Tony Pearson again. In the early eightees he gave a seminar at my gym, I remember wearing the "BODY BY PEARSON" training T shirts.
Great to see he's still around and looking good.
He was one of the few bodybuilders who was ripped all year around 💪
Attended a seminar Tony put on at a gym in Delray, Florida in the early 1980's.
He had the best V taper I've ever seen
Huge lats, tiny waist.
Friendly to everyone. Never new about all he had to overcome.
Good for you, Mr Pearson!

We see how FAKE these STEROID users REALLY are when they finally can't take their STEROIDS because they got ARRESTED/in PRISON or the doctors tell them to come off because of health PROBLEMS...there goes those FAKE STEROID muscles they been HIDING behind!
ROIDERS are FAKES!

Great interview... I am 62.5 and love to see BB's who are still doing it well. Over 40 years for me. Comparing myself. I couldn't compete after being a teenager. Size was a issue and I was very anti steroid. Was 52 before I started TRT after learning more.

The ROIDER'S plan book:
1. HIDE the STEROID use. Don't ever bring up STEROIDS. LIE & DENY their use when asked. If that doesn't work, go to plan 2.
2. DOWNPLAY STEROIDS. Tell people STEROIDS doesn't do anything. If that doesn't work, go to plan 3.
3. COMPARE STEROIDS to other UNHEALTHY things ie. ALCOHOL, CIGARETTES, ETC... "Try" and JUSTIFY using them. If that doesn't work, go to plan 4.
4. Call them names & CURSE at them.
Even if you admit to using STEROIDS, you still have FAKE muscles and FAKE strength!
Stay natural buddy!
Hey golden era
Was it a night and day difference for you getting on TRT? as far as mood life etc
Forget these idiots
I'm getting blood work done soon. My ambition has been shot for a while now
These steroids that I am using and using behind your backs, they don't do anything.

In the late 70s we were fortunate to workout with Tony at Doc's gym Atlanta. Tony is a great inspiration!
Such a great interview.. He is such a great dude to listen to and when he talks it comes out such a positive nature.. It's really first time i have really ever heard him talk.. Great show and I will buy his book.. Awesome
Excellent interview of such a remarkable and passionate person. Amazing to see Tony Pearson so well spoken after the account of such a brutal childhood. Real class!
Thanks again. Great intervievs. Good style, nice to listen and look at these!
Really enjoyed this interview
Great insight and transparency. Solute.
You've gotta love the 'Jet Man'. What a fantastic and deep interview. His was/ is a physique that I grew up to, and that back!!!
He still looks superb, so all credit to him.
Absolutely incredible interview.
Excellent interview. Putting his book on my Christmas list.

thank you so much tony Pearson ,great listen too ! I relate also to your childhood history....I grew up with a mentally ill grand father ,we lived in a multi family household ; he beloved if he had to beat one kid ,he would beat everyone ? that was ;our traumatic childhood ! Im 76 now and still have it in my head,but know i have to move forward..I admire your journey and plan on getting your audio book, Thank You !
Funny story. Attended a Pearson seminar at a small gym here in Ontario Canada (Stoney Creek) way back in the mid eighties and got a autographed photo of him, when He asked my name I said Mike and he spelled it Milk! Great seminar though. He had one of the greatest midsections in bodybuilding similar to that of Serge Nubret or Ron Teufel.
Tony you are amazing ! What a classy guy , always admired tony in the 80's , fantastic physic, superb interview 👍.
I saw Tony win the 78 AAU Mr. America in Cincinnati. That was the year Ron Tuefel came in in his best shape ever and was supposed to win. Also, Tom Platz knocked everybody out with his awesome leg development. Tony absolutely deserved his great win that year. It is very satisfying to see he is still doing so well.
I saw that show. Ron Teufel should have won that show. He was robbed.
I thoroughly enjoyed this whole video. Blimmin' awesome. I remember Tony as a kid in the mags, and I remember him I think on Mr Drasin's podcast. RIL Ric. Totally awesome interview!
I love it! Never ever ever give up! Mental toughness and good training creates champions. Oldschool does not change
Wow.... Awesome interview!!!
i hope you guys heard his story.
a true legend and a amazing person

When this guy won the 1978 AAU Mr. America, I didn't like him (thought Manuel Perry or Ron Teufel should have won). However, I've learned to respect him.
Wow! What a survivor! I’ve got to get his book. Tony Pearson is living proof that the human spirit is durable. He’s such a nice guy again proving abuse doesn’t have to make a person into an abuser

We are RUINING the ROIDER'S & STEROID DEFENDER'S FANTASY! Let's continue to EXPOSE them!

Best bodybuilder interview I've ever seen.
I remember back when bodybuilding was on tv and watching him win mixed pairs titles with different partners.
Love this interview going to listen to his book. Thank you.
A wonderful extension of Tony's autobiography, his infancy was unbelievable and he overcame so much. Incredible how lucky most of us are...
Good internview. Tony Pearson, wow ,what a humble and intelligent man, great bodybuilder and role model.good biceps peak too. keep working those legs Tony!!
I loved this interview, Tony Pearson is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and a great inspiration to me at 58, once a bodybuilder always one! Thank you, sir!
Locking out is essential on certain movements for full development.
Waiting 2mins v. 45secs allows you to lift heavier to maximum damage v. Shorter which focuses on metabolic hypertrophy
Great interveiw,great content.Wasn't familar with Mr. Pearson; but he projects great caracter and wisdom. Wishing continued success and Blessings to him and others whom he may encounter.
Class act and very interesting
AMAZING STORY AND TIPS
I met Tony at a seminar in Northampton, England in the 1980s he was a nice guy, very informative
Tony what a great man,Bravo!
Wealth of knowledge..

Tony was one of my faves along with Zane ,Makkawy ,
I'm a bodybuilding fan but I've never heard of him until now.

thank you for sharing
In the USA , even years ago with his horrible beginnings , you can get ahead if you work hard !! Great job Tony !!!
Looking good TP at 58, still training still looking at you, Mr. A in 1978, and I was a freshman in high school.
