fruitloops also deserve encouragement to get in shape, and get healthy(even me )
oh, and none of those links may be him... might just be coincidence...
Thankyou oc so many lol's. I didn't even know a fruitarian was a thing. Oh fuck thats gold.
Do you drink the tap water where you live?
here it is again for you... both look unnatural
I think that the majority of men and women would universally agree that steeve reeves was damn near the perfect physique
I would like to see a little lower bodyfat and bigger legs on him though
kai with Reeves level of fat?
regardles of your personal preference in menhe's still a f#cking big unit! and deserves respect for that
why has Steve now become a "classic physique builder" rather than a "Natural body builder"??
I love you Steve Reeves.
Not much differnce then arnold tho. and Arnold was taller and bigger.
Reeves
Thighs: 27
210lbs
Arnold
thighs 28½"
competition weight was 235 lbs
I would say Grecian seems more "ideal"...but I guess it's relative. if you want good proportion then, it is, ideal size depends on your size and height.
I do like the look of Arnold's era they still adhered to the classical proportions which is why people will always look at the black & white photos of them & aspire to it(more so,Frank Zane.)
what do you guys think the 'perfect' body proportions are? Do you like steeve reeves or the grecian ideal, or do you think something else is more ideal?
I think guys that are too huge don't look good. Arnold kept classical proportions--and that's why he looked awesome, and that's why people aspire to look like him. The Bodybuilders in our day simply look freaky--it's not attractive. My question I guess is, what looks 'good'. Do 20" arms look good on a 5'8" guy? How about 22" arms on a 5'6" guy? I guess more than proportions I wonder what people think is 'ideal'.
That's pretty odd that they measure up about the same, I would say that arnold was too big. Although arnolds stage weight was 235 absolutely shredded and reeves stage weight would be like 195
Reeves stage weight was 210 -218.
Ive read that he didnt believe in bulking or cuting.
I dont think being cut was the look he went for and he was mostly the same leanness year round
Ive heard he only worked out for 3 months of the year tho. And maintained the same body measurements into his 70s.
When he made movies it was 195 - 185(directors back then didnt want him too big)

Steve Reeves
Michelangelo’s concept of the perfectly formed man!
Reeves is the Greek ideal, and the western ideal, he is also a template and base design for the superhero look in comics, and used by animation studios, (such as Japanese manga, and animation)
Dr. Avard Fairbanks, a Guggenheim Fellow and one of the world's leading art figures (known as the world's greatest sculptor of President Lincoln as well as the Pony Express Monument) said:
"Steve Reeves is the epitome of a man bringing his physique into harmony with the universe he is a part of. He's the grandest example I have ever seen of Michelangelo's dream come true. It is unfortunate Steve Reeves was not living during the Renaissance period, for the masters would have worn their hands to the bone making statues from him."
In bodybuilding competition, the greatest champions not only know of his greatness, but speak his name in hallowed tones:
"Steve Reeves' physique is perfect."
- Serigo Oliva, Mr. Olympia
"A few days before the [Mr. America] contest we heard rumors about a man who had throngs of people following him along the Lake Michigan Beach front, and we couldn't imagine who could draw crowds by merely walking along the beach!"
-- George Eiferman, Mr. America
"'Immortal' is the least word used to describe Steve Reeves. His photographs are just fantastic. He symbolized the perfect physique, and he was a legend in his own time. He has been a great inspiration to many of us in the field of bodybuilding."
-- Lou Ferrigno, Mr. Universe
"'Beautiful' was not a word you usually use in describing a man, but in his case it applies."
- Bill Pearl, Mr. Universe
"The physique of the century."
- Reg Park, Mr. Universe
"The best looking, best built man God has ever created."
- Larry Scott, Mr. Olympia
"It was the Reeves movies more than anything else that inspired my training in the late 50's and early 60's" - Frank Zane, Mr. Olympia
"Michelangelo's concept of the perfectly formed man!"
- Vince Gironda
"He is a great man and has contributed much to the sport of bodybuilding … One of the best builds throughout the history of bodybuilding … Steve was a great inspiration to me."
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr. Olympia
"I became interested in bodybuilding when I saw a muscle magazine with Steve Reeves' picture on the cover. I knew right then that was what I wanted to be."
-- Mike Mentzer, Mr. Universe.
The muscle magazines have likewise sung his praises over the decades to this day:
"The most admired, most looked up to, and most idolized bodybuilder of all."
-- Muscle Builder magazine
"The World's Best Built man"
- Ironman magazine
"Steve Reeves' phenomenal physique set new standards for bodybuilding … women still go bananas over him."
- Joe Weider, Muscle and Fitness magazine
