Steve Reeves Biceps overpowered his triceps.
Maybe that's why he did the front double biceps pose like that, or maybe that it was common to do it back in those days. But, you would see a lot of over head shots with him, and the farther up, the less his biceps played into the shot.

Can you imagine if Steve Reeves had been TV's Superman instead of George Reeves?  Would have built bbing and fitness into a MM $ industry 3 decades before Arnold.

Reeves may not be the best of all time, but he was best of his era.

In that pose Vince is better than Reeves. I pointed out many times that people are mesmerized by Reeve's face not his build. che has a better flow than reeves.. post again a relaxed shot che ..
Agreed. Reeves had the face which got him along way.

People cherry pick pictures of this guy to support their argument. He was definitely not natural at one point in his life. There are a couple front double bi pics floating around from his movie days where he is clearly not natural.

Too many people are emotionally attached to the idea that this guy was natural, especially older guys

While I don't consider myself anywhere near Reeves in the physique department, my front double biceps wasn't too bad. Here is an edited version correcting the colour and getting rid of the background. I have the original negatives but have never scanned them.

What were your measurements Vince? Height/Weight/Bicep, etc..
