Don Youngblood (April 7, 1954 – May 8, 2005) was an American IFBB professional bodybuilder.
Youngblood started his trucking career in the mid-1970s as a driver for the Southern Pacific Railroad in Bakersfield, California.
After I paid off the loan, I bought a new truck, and then had a business opportunity in Arkansas.” In Alma, Arkansas, he founded SDS Transportation Services which later had 100 trucks hauling frozen foods all over the county for companies like Wal-Mart, Tyson and Cargill.
In 1987, after 13 years of business building, Youngblood decided to train seriously: “Bodybuilding was something I always wanted to do and I started by first working out in my garage.
He was now qualified for the Joe Weider IFBB Masters Olympia contest, which had been dominated by Vince Taylor for several years.
