His face looked quite old in the seventies. A lot older than Reg and Arnold.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impressive rugged physique in his day.

Was competitive with some of the all-time greats.

88 years old.

RIP

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

My guess would be none.
