I don't think the were alike. Zane had a small frame. Very Ecto. Reeves was very meso. Zane had a small slight bone structure. They both had very proportional physiques. I think Reeves said his arms, calves and neck were the same measurement.

 I don't want to get into drugs but Reeves has denied ever using drugs and I believe him. He was built when he was 16. Was he juicing in the 30's? He was built during the time he was in the military during World War II. His nick name during the war was "The Shape." Was he juicing over seas during war time?  He had his physique his whole life until his health failed him toward the final years. I know all the talk about him using but I don't believe it.

Steve probably never did a calf raise in his life, I had a friend had like 19 inch calves said he had never done a calf raise, calves are the most genetic part of the body. If you don't have them you got to work them.

Bill Grant never had calves but won some big shows, he had over powering arms sometimes judges will "look the other way" if a physique has other statistics.

Those classic Olympia shots are the ones that fuckin' got me into bodybuilding.

Saw all the Coleman shots when he was pulling in tons of O titles. Then there were a few classic articles and the pictures blew my mind. I hoped that if I bought enough supplements and ate enough steak, chicken, and broccoli that one day I could look like them naturally. ;D

Calves: 18.5
Neck: 18.5
Thighs: 27
Chest: 54

Were his arms flexed?  I think those measurements are like suit measurements when your arms are just relaxed hanging down.
