Some of these guys are questionable.

I'm a bit curious.  When you say they are questionable, is it the look or do you have some sort of proof.  I've seen some pretty amazing natural guys with decent size and excellent conditioning.  These guys were tested.  How do you know if somebody is or isn't natural by looking at pics?

I'm just curious.

Tough to say about Skip.  I must say though, I have seen him in person....and although he is big.....he is nowhere near the size of the pro's...

Prime, where's the post where John Hansen said he used gear?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I dunno, it was along time ago.  You'd have to trawl the board to find it.

No, John Hansen is not a natural.Well, for the last several yrs. he has been but he hasn't always been so by his own admission.Can't quote for sure the issue & # of the mag but a few yrs. back I was scanning the natural bb'ing mags off a newsstand rack & 1 of them had him stating that in that issue.The magazine was Natural Physique (or Bodybuilding) World, Natural Physique or something, lol, can't even be sure of that.It was the magazine that he had/has his own column in however.

Reg Park was the best natural bodybuilder ever. In 1954, he became the second man in the world to bench 500 lb. He also squatted 600 for reps and could press 300 behind the neck.
not natural

This thread is depressing. I eventually want to be bigger than that. The only natural bodybuilder I'd be content with looking like is Skip but then again he dedicates his life to bodybuilding like no other. Bodybuilding is his career and he treats it like one.

it's not "healthy" to wanna be like the best in the world. You know, extremely unlikely.

Be the best u can be, the only true compation is the one u have with ur self!
The rest is just a by-product or side effect! Trying to be someone else is impossible since
we are all diffrent, so say i will not be happy in till (fill in the blank) just locks u in unhappiness.
Be happy now compeat with ur self, take pride in YOUR achievements and u will feel content always!

reg park was either not natural, or he didnt bench 500. i dont believe a natural with reg's size could bench 500.

if i could swap bodies with Anyone, it would be Reeves....despite being accustomed to seeing mass monsters, and every shape and form concievable on this site, those reeves pics never fail to impresss me.

- What you can achieve or surpass -

Steeve Reeves - The original Hercules



  Very interesting series of pics, Oliver. :) I suspect, however, that all of these men had very high natural levels of T. I don't think the Average Man can look like that, drug free. :(

The best in the world right now from any pics I have seen.  And a buddy of mine from back in the day.  100% drug free.  Sick genetics.  His sister even has muscle and didn't really even work out.

do not get me wrong but with the exception of some guys from the early 20's ALL the others are somehow enhanced which of course is not something bad at all!
Someone said how can we tell by the pics lol come on EVERY one that has a little basic knowledge can understand that these guys used something...I am not underestimating their achievements BUT it is very childish to believe that they just ate their beef and came hard and defined ;)
You "natural" guys sorry to ruin your ideal world but what is "natural"? I know several bbers that claim to be "natural" and they use tons of prohormones lol...they just do not use real AAS! and this argument that they are "tested" is the best bs I ever heard! we all know that they can still use something that clears from the system some days before contest...

He, along with Mike Mentzer were both on Weider's shit list because he was advocating methods entirely contrary to Joe's marathon programs published in the magazines.


Yet Joe based Arnold with Vince to whip him into shape.When the young Arnold arrived in the states Joe inlisted the help Of Gironda to turn the podgy austrian into the worlds best body builder .So I dont think vince was on on Joes shit list.  ???

I dont think this thread was started so people could hate on these natural bodybuilders theres more than enough of these debates going around everywhere else. These guys all look great and i believe in this day and age their physiques are very achievable with hard work and dedication. There should be less people commenting on them not being natural unless they have visibale proof because it's inocent untill proven guilty. Natural bodybuilding needs your help and beliefs to succeed, the sport is doomed when all the naturals in it doubt their competitors are natural. It's time to believe in the impossible and realise like everything else in life things that used to be considered the impossible are now the achievable.
