Bill Grant and Tony Pearson: Posing at Muscle Rocks
This classic feature was shot in the brilliant Californian sunshine at Muscle Rocks, near Malibu, on October 30th, 1977. Both champions were in tremendous condition, hard and ripped. Bill Grant had just placed 3rd in the 1977 WABBA Professional World Championships, while Tony had just won the 1977 AAU Junior Mr. Southern California title. Another interesting fact is that both men had successful pro careers and continued to compete up to and including 1994, see contest histories below. They are absolute legends of the sport.
Bill Grant is a Pro Mr. America, Mr. World winner and many times Mr. Universe, NOC and Mr. Olympia competitor. One of the great physiques of the last 35 years and still in fantastic shape today. See recent photo below right.
Tony Pearson was 1978 Mr. America, Mr. Olympus, WABBA World Champion, NABBA Professional Mr. Universe, IFBB Grand Prix winner and Mr. Olympia and NOC competitor. Tony is a personal trainer and you can see the great shape he is in today at the bottom of the page.
Both men pump and pose in solo segments for the camera, and then engage in some friendly duo posing that becomes a very interesting posedown! The wonderful location and the perfect angle of the sun combined in perfect harmony to best showcase these 2 great champions. This was in the early stages of Tony's career and both went on to compete for many years on the professional stage.
In the final part of the DVD both stars pose in the old natural style of physique photography, as made famous by Lon, and many of the other classical physique photographers of the early days. This is a rare DVD of 2 legends, shot on film, with background music added, and is a straight transfer from the master videotape to DVD, with no added features.
NOTE: You must be over 18 to purchase this DVD.
Running time: Approximately 1 hour
Also see Tony Pearson in V-140DVD.
