R.I.P Reg.

Someone start a pictorial tribute for Reg Park? It will be great especially for the younger generation who knows very little of this great champion.

P.I.P.

The whole BBing community has lost a legend, you could even say the whole world might not be the same without him considering he was the man that the great Arnold looked up to and tried to emulate in body & mind.

Don't forget, a hero gets remembered but a legend never dies.

Such sad news. I was fortunate enough to have met Reg Park. He was a gentleman and a legend. Your bodybuilding legacy will live forever Mr Park. Rest in Peace.

Ive been sick for the last few days so i only just found out. Guy was a true legend. Anyone who was a hero of Arnie's must have been one hell of a person.

Horrible news. The man was a legend and such a masculine icon. R.I.P. Reg - Your kind will never be seen again.

Save that saying for Arnold's passing.

It was amazing how thick Reg's back and chest were for the time. With his small waist, it made his upper body look huge.

Wonder if his waist was smaller in this 1950 picture than when he had his measurements taken in 1956 at Weight 230, Height 6'1", Arm 19", Calf 18", Thigh 28", Chest (normal) 52", Waist 32", Wrist 8", Neck 19", Forearm (gooseneck) 16".
