reeves at the time was awesome...i dont think nowadays we appreciate how good he really was standing at that height when the average male was prob 5'6 and 13olbs

Personally i dont care for his physique much and have yet to see a shot of him where his shoulders, as claimed by man are 'widest shoulders ever seen'

Are you talking about Reeves when you talk about the widest shoulders ever seen? If so, I don't think he ever claimed that. Reports say that he tried his best to get the biggest difference between his waist size and his shoulder width, to make is v-taper look better. (See http://www.trulyhuge.com/news/tips63ip.htm (http://www.trulyhuge.com/news/tips63ip.htm) article: "He also worked to get his shoulders as wide as possible and his waist as small as possible in order to exaggerate his upper body width.") And at 6'1" tall with Reeves build, having a 29" waist is pretty hard to do.

Nice post.

My gym owner says he seen him in person and had teh 2nd broadest shoulders he had ever seen. Said sum gym rat was just so gifted with them.

At some Mr UNiverse years ago the guy never won and steve was talking to him after and said "shoulders, too broad. Bring them down a notch" They guy said "wtf would he know " lol

I have read lots saying about steeve reevs, not claiming but of others saying broadest shoulders ever

(2) Arnold 1973-1974....incredible size/condition that set the standard.. (til Samir showed up at the 1983 Olympia with a very complete physique/conditioning etc.)

(3) Sergio 1972/Lee Haney 1991 (very hard to separate given both physiques are near 20yrs apart (giving the advantage to Lee in technology, "supplements" etc...)

(4) Bill Pearl only man to win the PRO MR UNIVERSE in 3 Separate Decades! (1956,1961,67,1971)

(5) Flex 1992 USA, 1993 A/C... Unbealivable physique.

(6) Vince Taylor 22 pro wins, (only bettered by Ronnie with 25) 5 time Masters O Champion...Awesome physique.

(7) Reg Park 7 Time MR UNIVERSE 1950s-60s..Increadible size and shape for a Tall man back then...Massive.
