**Bruce Emerson Randall** (August 17, 1931 – August 23, 2010) was an American professional [bodybuilder](/source/Bodybuilder) who competed in the late 1950s.[1]

## Life and career

Randall won the 1959 [Mr. Universe](/source/Universe_Championships), after famously slimming down from 425 pounds to 223 pounds after extensive training and [dieting](/source/Dieting).[2][3] Randall had gotten himself up to this weight in order to increase lifting strength for the sake of [weightlifting](/source/Powerlifting), but decided to quit due to economic reasons (as a result of the extensive diet needed to sustain it).[4]

Before slimming down, Randall ate between 12 and 18 eggs per day and drank an average of 8 to 10 quarts of milk. He later embraced a balanced diet, with vegetables, nuts and 2 boiled eggs for breakfast.[5]

Randall later lived in [Syosset, New York](/source/Syosset,_New_York). He died on August 23, 2010, at the age of 79.[6]
