Still the ideal after 65 years?...

[Palpatine Q]

Extremely overrated ,

The dude had a nice physique. ...but most perfect proportions and build ever ?


I can't stop laughing.

[BikiniSlut]

There are people on this board with better bodies than that.

Arms are pathetic.  Long torso, cankles. Big kness..blurry watery thighs.

And  hs abs SUCK

No...it's all a matter of opinion.

It really is.

Bigger and drier/leaner doesn't mean better necessarily.

Look at the variety of shapes and sizes that you guys like when posting pics of women. Same with men. It's everybodys individual preference.

I agree , but are they natural? do they train like him? they have the benefit of years of experiments and trail & error , improvements.

His abs suck? 

[TrueGrit]

Extremely overrated ,

I think he looks really good there...

Not even close , I can post 100's  pics of guys looking  better than him.

He looks good but nothing special.

Looking better how? in better condition? sure all about context. this is 1947

Can you find another natty who was 6'1" who weighed 215lbs with a 29" waist and had arms , neck and calves all the same size?

[oldtimer1]

Best bodybuilder of all time. He was finished competing by the time the first anabolic steroid was invented in the late 50's. I really don't care what Oliva has to say about Steve Reeves using. He was a little boy in Cuba when Reeves was competing. Don't show me pictures of steroid users and their temporary drug physique as example of how he doesn't compare. He also maintained his built for decades unlike today's stars who look like fat soft crap in the same year they competed.

[NarcissisticDeity]

Easy to say in 2014 that he's not that impressive but when all things are considered he's  exceptional

[wes]

I forgot all about Reg Park....Reg takes Steve in this pic bigtime.

EDIT:
Looking closer,it`s pretty close,but Park has better abs here.

the "Greek Ideal"

A bit dated. The Greeks thought the Earth was flat too

And again..those measurements are according to who...Steve Reeves ?

Point is BBers have been bullshitting in muscle magazines since day one.

I don't give a fuck how tall he was ,I'm judging his symmetry ,proportions ,flow ......  not his height ,weight ,etc .
Arms .neck and calves same size doesn't mean shit , I hope this helps.

[oldtimer1]

During World war II when he was in the military they called him the Shape. What do you think the top Pros would look like if they were in the military during World War II? How would the steroid users of this board look?

Destroys him actually

Methyl Testosterone tablets were available over the counter right after WWII -

You can see that they weren't a secret product either, Popular Science was a big magazine back then.

[el numero uno]

Extremely overrated ,

Aside from a couple of weirdos with homosexual tendencies nobody really gives a fv** about him so I wouldn't call him overrated.

[wes]

Park has a thicker more dense look to his physique.

(no homo)

[oldtimer1]

Seriously, who gives a fuck about your temporary muscles? You take steroids to feel like a man but deep down inside you know you would look like crap off drugs. Eventually the truth will hit you hard when you have to go off because of finance, arrest or health. Enjoy the ignorant fools who praise you but I think they whisper steroids behind your back so they don't hurt your feelings.

Wow that certainly proves he was on 

[Danimal77]

Exactly it's all context

Show me another all NATURAL guy who was 6'1" 215lbs with perfect proportions and a 29" waist , there has never been another guy who came close

Guy ate 3 times a day , worked out his entire body at once , no supplements to speak of , next to no real equipment , he developed exercises. Who has done more with less?

The guys structure & proportions are unrivaled.

While not being ALL natural, this man came pretty damn close

[che]

Wow that certainly proves he was on 

No one knows if he was on or not , do you agree ND?
