No, with Reeves it was nutrition, Coleman is more like
grams of roids per day, 20iu GH, insulin, and other drugs.

Of course Steve used bee pollen as many bodybuilders from Old Iron Age days did.  Its rich in protein, amino acids, and nutrients.  Its why I've always promoted and sold bee pollen.


The first "Gatorade" was actually thousands of years ago in the Roman era where athletes at the Olympics would drink a mixture of honey with either water, wine, or beer before and after competing. 


I know a lot of people make fun of me for my endorsement of bee pollen but its a viable supplement and unfortunately a forgotten relic of bodybuilding

There are far cheaper ways to get protein, amino acids, and nutrients, which is why nobody uses bee pollen anymore.  ::)

I take chewable bee pollen tablets between exercises along with water rather than Gatorade which will leave you bloated.  If you ever visit my online store, you'll see that I stock mainly the old school stuff such as liver tablets, amino acids, Milk & Egg Protein, etc.  That stuff built legends.  A lot of people are using whey protein exclusively but don't realize that its fast digesting and only is effective directly after a workout.  A scoop of Milk & Egg Protein makes it more effecient and better in building muscle

Nobody but "Ain't no Sucka MC" Vinnie G (and his loyal customers).

Bee Pollen may well be the source of that thus far unidentified "X Factor" which is responsible for the Goodrum mammary development Physique.

In your condition, i don't think you'd look more bloated after you drank gatorade.

I disagree, it's a good cutting diet.  It was probably 1500-2000 calories.

Not really, cottage cheese is very high in protein.  Its also a slow digesting one just like the shake which is essential for building muscle



Now they only actually did weight training 3 times a week but you also have to take into account that they literally ran around on the beach the rest of the day.  Monster cardio regimen.  Steve Reeves had genetics but was also very knowledgable in nutrition.  The food years ago wasn't inferior and in some cases much better.  You could eat raw eggs without salmonella, no microwave foods were around, most produce was still from local farmers. 


Don't count out the old school stuff because it will always work

Don't forget there wasn't really any form of fast food which seems to be a mainstay many americans diets.

I don't care who wants to take steroids, because that's a personal choice... that's his life. Now, today, everybody has access to them. I even saw in one of the big magazines that Arnold denies having used them, but Arnold was one of the first to bring steroids over to America

Well so even if Reeves used, which i doubt unless you have more evidence than one interview, it was later in the 60s, right?

Allright allright i made up the Israel thing but one thing he did for is sure deliver both Atom bombs, see they didn't use the B-29 like they want you to think. They used their secret weapon Steve Reeves to throw them football style from Iwo Jima, it's all true it was recently declassified :o

I agree Vince but not about the raw eggs though; the body simply can't digest eggs raw and absorb/handle their influx of amino acids properly w/o cooking. SCrambled would be overdoing it though.
