early in his career yes, but later he definately got thicker.

Dbol's a given with virtually all BBs therefore it's no revelation here or elsewhere.

I wonder the likes of Park,Marvin Eder,Steve Stanko,Grimek and Reeves were also being admistered testosterone shots before the introduciton of dianabol in 1956(?).The combination of muscular mass and proportion marks an advance from the physique of a Sandow-which hadn't been improved on in fifty years.In this period, even with seemingly low bodyfat,there seems to be slightly less definition to the bodybuilder's muscles.Is this evidence of water retention?

The man was probably the best representative of bodybuilding!!!! IMHO

Without a doubt the greatest Jewish BB'er of all time. With his frame and modern fixings who knows where he might rate. On a level with Arnold, Sergio, Coleman, Yates ?

Interesting thought, Reg was a Terrific BB, in the mid 1950s-early 1960s he had massive wide shoulders, small waist, huge chest, calves etc and at over 6ft in height was increadible in his day, and in my veiw to this day he still looks Awesome.

A physique that was so far ahead at the time, its still mighty impressive today.

Notice the size of Park's head, which can usually give a idea of the over all bone bone size and thickness. Large even compared to his muscle mass development, so the potential for adding much more mass is suggested. I would think his wrist and ankle measurement would be extra thick. The deeper rib box (not too many modern Pro's have that) give another advantage to his body. When present Pro style chemical engineering is used, wonder what he could have achieved today.
In any event, he seems to give a picture of raw power. I would guess a lot of present day BB'ers would prefer Park's type of build than most of the cartoon characters with the Pro cards now. Seems to be great balance to his body, muscle groups blend together very well.
Looking at present pic's of Arnold, am really surprise by his very average shoulder width. Considering his outstanding breath and delt mass of the pass. Again, another BB'er who's head seems larger than normal.
