Driven to Perfection
Professional bodybuilding champion Tony Pearson's life reads like a Hollywood script. An abused child from Memphis, Tennessee, meets his hero Muhammad Ali; buys a one-way bus ticket to Muscle Beach; gets discovered by seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger; perfects the famous stomach vacuum pose; earns multiple bodybuilding titles, including Mr. America in 1978 and the Pro Mr. Universe—and remains a bodybuilding legend.
