Do you think that Steve Reeves was a fake natty?

QFT what a handsome handsome man!!!

Every woman I have ever considered worth pursuing and dating has been  a woman of class and taste. No girls, just women.  And in my youth they were always older as that is what I prefer.  A woman.   Without fail, if shown a photograph of Steve Reeves they would state without hesitation that he was one of the most handsome men they had ever seen a photograph of and his body was a thing of masculine beauty.  Sculpture made flesh is what one woman, an art major said nearly forty years ago.

Like Arnold, Park, Zane and a few others from the days of glory past, we will never see the likes of Reeves again.

  That would undoubtedly be true if I associated with white trash women, but I don't. 

[Mr. MB]

I've read in various online sources that he always started with delts and then some combo of chest/back/arms and always ended with legs

Is this correct?

Do you recall the # of sets per bb or how long these full body workouts took to complete?

I don't recall the order but the time was no more than an hour unless Steve was interrupted for jaw sessions. Three sets I recall. Last one to failure.

[jude2]

We know he is more natural than today's so called natural BB. Bottom line he looked great back then.

you're on drugs if you really believe this.

i went with baby mama to fibo 2011 and she wouldnt even look twice at jako de bruyn type of physique dudes walking around shirtless

when she saw coleman (who was still huge then) she lost her marbles completely and wanted his children


i base all my statements about women on baby mama


hope this helps

[gracie bjj]

reeves liked afew ciba-giegys with his morning bagel

[SweetDaddySiki]

For me, the only reason I'd wonder if he was really natural was the routine that he supposedly used. It was a TOUGH full body routine with several exercises per body part (instead of the standard 1 per body part full body routine) and it appears he wasn't using light weights. Sure it was just 3 days but I would think it would be hard to recover and would lead to overtraining rather quickly.

Baby Mama isn't representative of how most women think Halo.

LOL. There are probably women out there who find short, fat, bald men attractive. Doesn't make it the norm.

No.

I'm sure there must be even if they number barely a dozen worldwide. You have people with strange fetishes for almost anything and everything.

Do you think that Steve Reeves was a fake natty? Seems like he was a narcissistic self absorbed SOB and fake natty too. Great width.

I do believe they're people  with great genetics for bodybuilding ,(me included) that don't need to take steroids to built a muscular and desired physique ...

If not human can achieve a physique like that naturally  ..then we are a shitty race ( the human race in general)

Besides,  that picture is more than 60 years old ...to think of steroids.




WoooSSSHHHHHHHH

[Donny]

Well still a role model for me...infact I was on the steve Reeves society page today. Great info on there.

[_aj_]

I don't care one way or the other, but I find it amusing in a cruel way the sound of men's heads exploding at the circumstantial evidence presented to support the theory that Reeves was a juicer.

Hahaha!

Steve Reeves took steroids I heard one of his peers talking about don't remember exactly but he did

[Powerlift66]

I was in rehab with his cousin...

[SF1900]

I was in rehab with his cousin...

What was he like?

[oldtimer1]

He was built when he was 15 in the 30's. He was built while he was in the Army during World War II. Was he juicing in the jungle? In the Army his nick name was The Shape.  He was built decade after decade with no off season slack until his health went south. He won all his bodybuilding titles before the first anabolic steroid was made. Yes testosterone existed but what bodybuilder was using that in the 40's for physique purposes?  This will never be settled. Fans of steroids will give the steroid user label to everyone to justify their use.
