Didn't dye his hair or have cosmetic procedures like Arnold.
Here's a photo of Reg Park around the time of his death.
There are not many photos of Reg at this age.
He died at age 79.

He died from cancer I believe.

Reg died from skin cancer I think. all those years of lying out in the south african sun.
-
Bubb had a damn good build.

He had a good run. Good arms! RIP.

Looked bigger than Arnold here. But with a higher bodyfat.

In shoes here of course, but he has a couple of inches on Arnold.

Reg in the middle. Cool photo! Joe looked good there. Reg was around 9 years younger than Weider. And 19 years older than Arnold.

Good arms even as an old man.

Yup.....pretty impressive.

Back in the olden days when an award winning physique still looked like a guy who could actually swing a sledge hammer for more than 10 rep.

RIP.

Park was 185 cm tall, or 6 ft 1
Arnold was 187 cm tall, or nearly 6 ft 2
Photos can be misleading, depending on the angle, and / or how close someone is standig to the camera.

88 is a very respectable age. I wonder how many bodybuilders of the 90s and beyond will reach a similar age...
