I like you, but you don`t know what in the hell you are talking about when it comes to Steve Reeves.
You are talking out of your ass and making shit up about the man and I don`t appreciate it.
He never once touched a thing. He looked his absolute best in the late 40s and early 50`s way before hormones or anything hit the American shores. While he did look good throughout the years, his best was when he was a bodybuilder and he was and always had been lifetime natural his whole life.
You may know about the current guys, but you know dick about the bodybuilders of the past.
do me a favor and read again what i said. he WAS the closest thing to natural you will ever find when it comes to this level of competition. testosterone products were available since the 30s,,you could get them through doctor and by other means exactly like you could get mexican items all through the 90s up to this date,,and exactly like you can get the powders these days directly from asia.
then there was ZERO supervision and everything was experiemnted. no one knew or care what it was beside the military and few writers and lifters,,,now days every 17 year old is interested. that is the diff!
never the less steve reeves was indeed THE CLOSEST THING YOU WILL FIND TO NATURAL. he only experiemnted and nothing else and this is MY OPINION you can disagree.
