We always did half squats to a bench when we were in our teens training  in our cellars in an effort to increase power......we just didn`t call them partials or box squats,we called them half squats so fuck Joe Dimarco.   

They did not call Bill West "Peanuts" because he was small as stated in the video,they called him that because he was known to eat a lot of peanuts.......read it in an old Weoder magazine eons ago.

Signed BB historian Wes.

According to articles these workout took several hours.

This is a pre-contest routine.  In those days the bodybuilders did long workouts to get definition.

I believe Reg Parkīs early routines but that routine is just insane. This is why Bodybuilders started doing upper / Lower splits.

That would be rough if he had a job.

[Donny]

Here's an interesting article on him. He was actually a Judo man too.

That would be rough if he had a job.

From reading about him he was a poster boy for the Navy so maybe he posed later for the " Beefcakes " magazines.  Apparently very popular in the 50s-70s because Homosexuality was illegal & some of these old timers posed for these publications.
