even though louis is huge, i think reg suited it best, no offence to louis but he looks to much of a nice guy

i saw a reeves hercules movie yesterday and its ridiculous how small reg park makes him look. Reg was the best IMO

have you seen Schwarzeneggers Superstars of BBing? Reg is interviewed on it and seen working out hard at the age of 63! He looked like he was in his 40's at a push. He was a natural BBer apparently

well he sure didn't abuse the usage of anabolic steroids---- but no he was not a natty.

I'd go with Arnold, and then Reg Park

Just watched the Three Stooges Meet Hercules. WHo played that crossed-eyed Hercules.

Eric2 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 17, 2005, 12:20:34 PM »

I like Arnold, but compaired to Reg he looked like a dough boy. Arnold needed a more rugged look, maybe some facial hair?

Bear · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2005, 03:43:46 AM »

Arnie's legs look big as hell in some of those pics.

JOEMUSCLE · « **Reply #23 on:** January 06, 2006, 08:56:45 PM »

In The Three Stooges Meet Hercules, the role of Hercules was played by Samson Burke.

there are tons and tons and tons of pictures of arnold with thin legs. this could be because those pictures were taken after he broke his knee. in his book he wrote that he fell threw a stage and broke his left knee. he had to rebuild his leg(s) completely. they were never the same again of course but for someone who broke his knee and still won the next year's olympia i think he did pretty damn good. there are some old pictures out there where his legs look huge. even his really young pictures where he looks really big at 19 his legs were big. they weren't defined but they were as big as in 1975. in 75 they were kinda thin but they were that size when he was 19 and that's big for 19 and that era.
