Any chance that you scan the whole book?

OR at least his training part?

I found these pictures on ironage forums.  I didn't scan them.

Isn't soy protein bad for male bodybuilders? Raises estrogen.

[sarcasm]

not, it has been proven not to be true.

[alexxx]

Anybody know how he trained?

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

 Reeves look'n good.

are you trying to tell me that Ron is not natural? and here I thought that it was the BSN combined with a good meal plan that was making the difference

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

Vince do you actually use it?

[G o a t b o y]

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

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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.

Proof reeves had crazy genetics. To look like he did contest on that crap diet of about 50 cals per day is a feat!


Lunch. Cottage cheese and a handfull of raisons..... lol the shit people with amazing genetics get away with!

Nice try, Vince.
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.

Hahaha... and this is the result.. Hhahahahaha

I believe it worked!!!

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.

Reeves muscles came from steroids, not from a bee.
