West Coast Bodybuilding Scene

Return to Product Reviews

Fun, entertaining, and easy reading, West Coast Bodybuilding is a trip through the most unforgettable years of bodybuilding following its humble beginning on the sands of Muscle Beach. The handful of restless musclemen lifting weights with enthusiasm and love catapulted the singular sport of biceps, muscle and might into the lives of admirers across the globe. The sport became a culture and these characters of amazing form and fortitude became its golden heroes.

Spanning from 1965 through 1971, you can read stories about Larry Scott, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dave Draper, Frank Zane, Bill Pearl, Chuck Sipes, Sergio Oliva, Rick Wayne, Franco Columbu, Ed Corney, Brad Harris, and many others. Also included are stories of various photo shoots with the sport's top photographers (Zeller, Caruso, Mozee, and Warner), as well as visits to gyms (Gold's, Gironda's, and the highly unusual Zuver's), and other candid stories you will not find anywhere.

Author Dick Tyler chronicled the innocent years when a thing of beauty unaware of itself matured. The material set forth on these pages (392 pages!) once appeared as beloved gossip columns and features in Joe Weider's Mr. America and Muscle Builder magazines throughout the Golden Era, 1965-1971. Packed with photos adorned by the Blond Bomber, Dave Draper, this book is a great find for the historian, muscle buff, fitness enthusiast, or anyone wanting to learn more about the roots of modern bodybuilding when it had a special aura that made you wish you were there.
