The story of Don Youngblood is one that is very much inspiring for those that are involved in the world of muscle and fitness. He was someone that was poised to win a title that today many of us more or less overlook. It was a title held by Vince Taylor for well over half a decade and was defended at all costs by that illustrious champion. Don was not considered a favorite to win. He was not looked upon as someone who could unseat one of the greatest masters bodybuilders of all time. But what he lacked in buzz he made up for with hard work.
Just recently I was on an Instagram live with Lee Priest and we got to talking about Don and his extraordinary work ethic. Here was a guy who owned his own business and was making a tremendous amount of money. Trucking has always paid the bills and continues to be in demand no matter how technologically advanced transportation may become. You still have to get goods from point A to point B in the shortest amount of time that is safe and effective. We will forever rely upon maritime trade, trucking, the use of planes, etc.
Don was a person that did not shy away from hard work. Whether that meant driving cross country moving rigs or giving his all in the gym, you knew that he was all about whatever goal he set before himself. And bodybuilding is quite possibly one of the most selfish endeavors. You can call it a sport or a discipline but at the end of the day it is time consuming, very expensive, and certainly not for the faint at heart. I wouldn’t be surprised if his friends and loved ones tried to discourage him. Why would someone in middle age want to embark on such a dangerous pastime? But the reality of the matter is Don was bit by the bug. Not only did he want to be a professional bodybuilder but he wanted to reach the highest levels of competitiveness.
