Steve Reeves claimed to take a concoction of lemon juice, honey and water during and after his workouts. Sounds like a good precursor to gatorade and other drinks designed to replenish your electrolytes.

Yeah Steve Had a increadible Physquie, and came along 20-30yrs too early, with his Physquie, looks, well spoken etc...he would of done well i feel in the 1970s-1980s with Film roles that would of actually paid him alot of Money with a whole lot more exsposure etc than Steve ever got from acting in those films he was in in the 1950s etc...

I believe Steve is 36 in that pic
hard to believe the guy retired at the age of just 24 due the fact he reached the top of the sport , needless to say I doubt we seen the best physique Reeves could have displayed
-
This is true ND Steve retiring @ 24 was far from his Physical prime, i still rate Steve's overall structure, balance and skeletal structure right up there to this day and felt he was 20-30 yrs early in terms of film megabucks, BB "supplements," mainstream appeal etc,
-
Imagine what he could have looked like if he had trained hard year round til age 28 like Arnold did. I like Reeves approach to training, a lot of intensity ala Mentzer at tines.
-
Reeves is about as fine as a specimen geneticall you can get. He trained great, ate great etc. But in the end it was his mom and dad that made his physique. Genetics really is the most important thing. Not the only thing but the most important. Most guys will never admit that as if it means their worth less or work less hard etc.

One of the if thee Greatest FDB of his Era the one and only Reeves

The absolute Bench mark in Aesthetics in the 1940s-Mid 1950s

I remember reading this years ago in one of his MMI columns.
-
I don't have a source for this, but...
-
Honey was a big thing years ago. Even track athletes used it, back in the day. Some BB'ers like to chew the honey comb. Eating dates, sometimes mixed with honey, was also popular before, and even during, workouts. The combo of peanut butter, banana & honey (on whole wheat bread) could be in their diets. Good luck.

Yeah..I got it too. A great read and Steve reeves along with Reg Park were always my inspiration and really still are.

Somewhere i still have an issue of Ironman from the 90's that has a big article where Grimek,Reeves,and Oliva all talk training nutrition etc,and at the end Bill Pearl and George Turner give their observations about those legends. Interesting for sure...

Then I suggest you stretch those flexor tendons and start typing!!

I will have to get off my lazy ass and find it... ;D

when you look at Steeve reeves shape and lat width tapering down to a tiny waist then you know he was a genetic superior. I think too his legs were not bad for the time he trained.

I'd love to see a current pro BB do perfection in the clouds to see how they'd compare. Can you imagine Branch Warren doing that pose? It'd be like a bloated gnome in the clouds.

I think the top pic is of someone other than Reeves.
I wonder how many of the classic BB's of the era before steroids ever got injured working out? Seems like the top BB's of today have all sustained an injury, because they tried to go too heavy on a lift. I don't remember hearing of Reeves and the like having muscle tears and snapped tendons.

It would have been interesting to see how he would have fared in the company of stiffer competition like Arnold, Stallone, etc.
Steve Reeves as Rambo?
Maybe we would have been spared Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot. :)

Bodybuilding may be the only pro sport (other than midget tossing) in which short men can excel at.

should have read roland kickinger the ah-nuld look-alike, he is quoted as saying never seeing the need to use over 75 lb dbs for these.

Especially if u do them after flat bench, do alot of volume, are on the sauce, and have an unusually well responding pecs like roland and arnie
