Bruce Randall

Bruce Randall (1931 to 2010) was an American professional bodybuilder who competed in the late 1950s and won the 1959 Mr. Universe after famously slimming down from 425 pounds to 223 pounds through extensive training and dieting. He had built up to that weight to increase his lifting strength for weightlifting, but quit that sport for economic reasons, since the diet needed to sustain such a weight was costly. Before slimming down he ate between 12 and 18 eggs a day and drank an average of 8 to 10 quarts of milk, and he later embraced a balanced diet of vegetables, nuts and two boiled eggs for breakfast. He later lived in Syosset, New York, published The Barbell Way To Physical Fitness in 1970 and died on August 23, 2010, at the age of 79.
