ASSUMING he was sauce free....and aside from winning the genetic lottery...the guy was able to maintain solid muscle size with the waist of a teenager into his 30's-40's. How do you do this? Is it all just pure genetics? Im 31 now and always was able to keep a tight midsection but now it seems like no matter what i do diet or cardio wise my midsection seems to be thickening. Still at 32 inch waist and not fat, but does some distention just come with age? I dont get it ???
-
From his book he was a firm believer in not overeating, he basically ate the same amount of food all his life. Except for when he was in the military he said he a little ate more.
-
He was not sauce free. Good structure (wide shoulders exaggerated the effect) and genetics I guess. Prob got cardio from riding the hordes of groupies.

guess it was just his freak genetics then. When i try to cut down calories all that happens is i feel weak and shitty and my muscles go flat lol.

I disagree with this if you have problems showing your abs when your bodyfat is getting low weighted ab for 10 reps is awesome for bringout out your abs muscles and I have never seen it making your waist blockly.
-
So many things to consider...
The most important being the fact that we can't talk to him about it.
-
luck of the genetic draw helps. pic'd at youth, bbing career, movie roles. it was reputed that reeves trained for like a month or so to get in shape foreach of his movies.
-
Genetics,no GH,no slin,moderate use,eating for health and to look good,not eating to weigh 315 ripped onstage! :D
-
I have it on good authority that Reeves abused the GH and insulin a great deal.
Those images we see are photoshopped. By the time he was 28, he had a 44 inch waist.

I have the opposite problem of all of you, try having a 28" waist that looks stupid next to a 47" chest. My waist is narrower than Heath.

reeves was well known for his love of the cock
-
In those days most people ate for nutrition, not for the sake of pleasure.
-
Yeah, if actually look at his diet plans, the meals are very light. Also he had great structure, but wasn't a huge man by modern bodybuilding proportion, he was only low 200's at a legit six feet and change. Now we're conditioned to seeing guys close to #80 - 100 heavier, at that height.

I'm 31 and see no difference.
Probably genetics.
-
He did full body workout three times a week. 3 sets 8 to 12 reps

One of the most handsomest man I've ever seen (NO HOMO)..
This is what I call Bodybuilding.. anything bigger is screams "Circus Freak", IMO a bodybuilder should be able to blend in normal gathering..

I've read where many folks, both men and women "thicken" with age. How pronounced this is, probably and a lot to do with your genetics. Posture plays a role too, I think. People who remember to keep their core strong, often by having good posture, probably don't have as much tendency to develop a distended gut. Certainly, lack of exercise and over-eating play a role in this too.
In my late teens, I had a 29" waist. Today it is 34". I'd be happier with 32", which seems obtainable if I continue to lose weight as I have done this past year. Clothes definitely fit better when you have a smaller waistline.

He and Sergio = Best genetics in human history.
Too bad they didn't compete directly at their peaks.

I don't think it matters what kind of chicken you broil but if you think it does, so be it.

Steve picked the right Mom and Dad for his waist/shoulder ratio. He ate volumes of food and beer when I dined with him at Rand's Roundup in Hollywood. An all you can eat prime rib joint.
NO ONE spoke of gear back then. The little blue pills from CIBA Labs had made their way into gym bags by then.

The same way almost EVERY SINGLE bodybuilder PRE-1993 was able to keep their waist lean. GH and insulin guts did not really exist PRE-1993. Almost every bodybuilder before that could make a vacuum with their midsection (some better than others). Bodybuilders in the offseason didn't look like obese cows. As for Reeves, he was pretty tall and quite lean (215-220 pounds MAX on a 6'1"-6'2" frame).

::) ::) ::)
Reeves quad development in that last pic looked quite advanced. He seemed heavier in that pic and older.

Looking huge there.

would love to be that ocean

So, what you are saying, is that he was on sauce long before the time when anabolic steroids came on the market? He was born in 1926, start training in high school and went the WW2. He won his first competitions at 1947, so he has been busy, because anabolics were invented in 1932 in Germany as a medicine. It is common knowledge that anabolic's came in to sports somewhere between 1955 and 1965, so how exactly Reeves got his sauce, and when? In reality: 1958 - FDA Approves First Anabolic Steroid for Sale in US. There is quite big gap even between that and his last BB- competition, so it is quite difficult to understand how and when he was on sauce.

You don't get it? It is simple, you have shitty genetics, you are training differently etc. Reeves was tall and slim guy with slender structure. You are build like a hog standing upright..Furthermore, he weren't living on the constant diet of industrially produced hamburgers, gene manipulated meat and that crap you eat there for food.

as mentioned itīs more Genetics with him. I spoke to George Helmer on the phone some years back, he runs the Steve Reeves Society and knew him. He found Reeves original Routine in Steve Reeves old Oakland Home where he grew up. He said Steve Reeves did not do a lot of Ab Training. he said crunches and he also did a hip thrusting exercise with cables( have to look again because he mentions it in a Book i have) also Reeves said in his Book tricep pushdowns helped Train his Abs as he tensed them very hard on These.

:o here it is the holy grail reeves routines as a boy discovered on wall in reeves's family home garage years later. it's like discovering cave drawings.

Great great shape but about a 100 times less handsome than Reeves and need to lose the 'come fuck me boys' tash
-

Only fucking with you. Decent build.

As closest to home I'll ever get;
Looking at Reeves' pics, this guy must've gone through pussy at a rate unseen before or since. If the whispers regarding the love of cock are true ..,. What an utter, utter fucking waste. Like winning the lottery and giving the money away

Hugh Jackman is married.
John Travolta is married
Matthew Broderick is married.

He wasn't gay , he was married twice
Actually, three times. I think his third wife's name was Deborah or Debbie. I believe she was from his home state of Montana.
