I wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger will be releasing a statement today. Would be a total class act to do so. RIP Reg Park. You were one of the first, and alltime, greats.
-
Arnold has always stood by his old-time friends. I'm sure he will make a statement.

I wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger will be releasing a statement today.
I know. I've been waiting and searching to see if he's said anything yet about the man who inspired him to be what he is today.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday said he was deeply saddened by the death of his former trainer and mentor, legendary bodybuilder Reg Park.
"He was like a second father to me," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "He is the reason I was motivated to become Mr. Universe myself and come to America and make movies."
South African media reported that Park died Thursday morning in Johannesburg. The Mail and Guardian in Johannesburg reported that he died from advanced skin cancer. He was 79.
"Other than my parents, there may be no single person who had more to do with me becoming the person I am today than Reg," Schwarzenegger said of the three-time Mr. Universe winner.
Park, originally from Yorkshire, England, was a key influence early on in Schwarzenegger's bodybuilding career, when he trained with the future governor in South Africa.
"It was Reg who impressed upon me how hard I would have to work if I wanted to achieve my dreams," Schwarzenegger said. "I'll always remember him making me do calf raises with 1,000 pounds at 5 o'clock in the morning."
Schwarzenegger went on to compete against Park in a bodybuilding contest in 1970, and beat his mentor in a closely fought contest, according to the Reg Park Legacy Foundation's Web site.
Park's striking figure - he was six foot and in his younger days weighed up to 250 pounds - caught the eye of film producers and he starred in five Italian "sword-and-scandal" movies in the '60s, according to the Web site.
Park is survived by his son Jon Jon, daughter Jeunesse and wife Marion.
"Reg was a dear friend, an extraordinary mentor and a personal hero," Schwarzenegger said.

they left potomac maryland this afternoon headed home.

I think Arnold might call in for a few words about Reg.
-
I've noticed that PBW has been showing a trend of re-playing old episodes...in this case, guys, why not have an episode devoted to talking about Reg, getting some of his friends online and get some stories going?
I mean, no disrespect, but the Reg episode was only on a few months ago. Anybody can just as easily click on the replay; why not have an actual tribute episode?
Just a suggestion.
-
Classy move to give Reg a tribute show. I remember all the stories about Reg and Steve Reeves back in the 50's. They should have some of the old-timers go on and talk about the old days (are any of those guys still around?)
-

Very unlikely.

Very unlikely.
Probably, but it would be cool to hear Arnie talk about his hero. As we all know, Arnie certainly thought the world of Reg.

If it's true that Reg NEVER touched steroids, then this photo is very telling of what a lifetime of training, recuperation and nutrition can result in. He may have lost to Arnold in this contest, but Reg looked GREAT.

RIP Reg.

First off, talking about Reg park passing away.
79 of skin cancer. Married to the same woman for 55 years. Reg was the reason Arnold lifted.

I did not realize that Zane and Reg competed against each other. Dickerson sounds like a good guy, pretty emotional. Kind of weird hearing Reg's voice. My condolences to the Park family. Much respect.
-
why put a swimmr on a bodybuilding show though?
Zane- 3 olympia titles. Nasser- zero. Hope this helps.
