he made a fortune marketing supplements, magazines, and cookie cutter workout programs.

his legacy to me is that every 20 year old in the gym parrots his stuff and thinks they need a protein powder to grow. but his legacy is also that bodybuilding and weight lifting may not have ever been part of any of our lives if not for him either.
