Why Steve Reeve Was Always Building

[septemberquest]

the best of the real, natural bodybuilders...

[Nichole-HP]

superior genetics, diet and work ethic . his physique was way ahead of it's time . if he were around today people would accuse him of being on PED'S .

The guy ate cottage cheese and almonds for lunch and Tuna, Chicken, steak etc. for dinner. This doesn't apply the same to eating McDonald's chicken nuggets everyday.

I've been sticking to Steve Reeves diet for the last 10 years. Now, I get more attention than I've ever gotten before! About to star on a reality show on TLC so make sure you tune in soon to see my physique. In case you're wondering, I'll be staring on My 600 lb life next month. Can't wait to start the weight training aspect of Reeves' routine.

Was my boyhood hero growing up in the early 60s, them Hercules movies, thanks

[glennadamson]

The bodybuilders of that Era looked strong and healthy that's what the body building lifestyle is all about.

100% Natural and Amazing Genetics!

The peak of human potential.

He also ate clean (including fruits and veggies) and did a ton of cardio. I’m pretty sure he also had a very active lifestyle

[jorgesoto-otnp]

What he failed to mention is the gradual progression in order to prevent getting fat. If you increase the calories too much too quickly the fat will happen significantly more than muscle. One must adapt to a certain number of calories as a maintenance before increasing again in order to stay lean when bulking. Patients must replace the ego in that philosophy.

Steve didn’t eat any starch except for some wheat germ in his morning drink.

[thebestever]

Thats my philosofy! Have to check this guy out if he stole more from me haha

[NerdLord]

I believe that he workout old school way like spend more time at the gym maybe twice a day and work a lot of sets and reps rather than 3-4 sets 10-12 reps like nowadays theory

[mygetawayart]

his physique would be considered "off-season" nowadays. We took it to the extreme and now everyone's obsessed with being shredded....I just dont get it.

[Gutterfighting]

Reeves was the best, he looks so much better then guys today.

[eyeseeyou]

Steve Reeves is awesome, thanks for the video! Extremely basic bodybuilding nutrition information though...?

[davidanderson]

Kinda tru. A bit more info involved but half right according to science n biology. Meaning genetics.

[stephm]

It depends: which level of surplus are we talking about ? 250 kcal ? 500 kcal ? 1000 kcal ?
Above 500 kcal I doubt anybody will stay lean.

[dongerdong]

steak, eggs, milk, fruit and veggies. it's pretty hard to do full body workouts, jog twice a week and only eat those foods and get fat. bodybuilders nowadays some how think you need 500 carbs of rice a day?

[evyatarof]

Maybe the mre correct thing to say is that steve reeves was allways eating same as he burned calories so he was getting muscles but still stay lean

[fugguhber]

NOT 100% true for all people. Everybody is different.
He had a NATURAL phsique that was great....
