Reeves was extremely gifted as a bodybuilder. Besides good size for a drug free bodybuilder he had very good proportion and shape, things that can't be built with drugs (especially shape). What has happened nowadays is not good, most people will not look like Reeves by a long shot and he was natural (highly likely). Now you have 300lb men fairly ripped, how is todays novice bodybuilder supposed to get there without the drugs.
The physiques of today in most cases are so far removed from what a natural, fit, muscular, well proportioned physique is supposed to look like.
The average gifted drug free natural bodybuilder at a height of 5 ft 10 in with single digit bodyfat would be hard pressed to make it past 200lbs (give or take a few lbs) without drugs. Today some people call that look a swimmers build, thats really crazy.
I did'nt grow up in the days of Reeves, but I'm sure the lifestyle was a lot healthier for the athletes back then. Not to mention probably more accepted, juding from the many bodybuilders who were included in film and tv.
It would be nice to go back to that time.
