No better high than your first cycle of D-bol ! Throw some weekly decca in there and your all set for new PR’s 😮

Smaev has zero ROM, just a blowup doll.

Now that’s what I call a big mama!

A sick depressed man.

I’m a big poppa pump fan but can you say FAKE WEIGHT!!’

He probably has to go to a car wash to clean up. You know he not getting a good wipe with those short arms. I bet he had body cheese that has not seen daylight in decades.

Fantastic bodybuilder. I believe he also wrestled down in the Florida territory

So its either fat or synithol? Lol

Wayne irwin mr south pacific novic 1975I met reg in south Africa around 1974.also seen him at the 1980 australia Olympia

What about Ken Patera?

He was truly strong even by todays standards. Wild to see how they lifted off the bar to do bench press back then!

marvelous memories... great guy Reg Park ... when body building was real BODY BUILDING ...

I saw him do a seminar the day after some British event, and he bench pressed 450lb then - which considering he was depleted and cut to ribbons was impressive. I also encountered him a street in London 1982. I'd travelled down to see the 1982 Mr Olympia, and I was wearing a badge I'd made that had 'BERTIL FOX FOR POPE!' on it. He read it, laughed, and quizzed me about it. The dude was so wide he was like a CRT television on legs.

Reg was natural

great videoreally well done

Met him over 40+ years ago. Nice chap.

There should be an asterisk next to Mariusz name for most WSM won, because they literally just refused to invite Kaz back after absolutely crushing everyone for three years straight.

A back injury like that will destroy any leg strength vital in strongest man, but Andre the giant was the strongest man ever to live with hands as big and strong as a mountain gorilla, he overturned a big American car with 4 chads in it, but again hip/leg injuries crippled the 7 ft 560 lb French giant

No way was he natural.

Whether he's the strongest, who knows. But I doubt any modern athlete would want to go toe-to-toe with Louie.

300 behind neck press in that era

If anyone on earth can its probably going to be thor but it'll be super hard

In 2018 his arms would have wrecked Jax from mortal kombats arms and it wouldn't have been close

The partial reps Ronnie did on bench press and shoulder press is actually hard if you do it you known it that is partial range of motion yet full range of motion for the target muscle

I heard that he could not remain an amateur lifter after 23 for financial reasons. Back then, you couldn't compete if you weren"t amateur. Anyone gets much stronger after that age.

It doesn't matter if he was natural or not. He was a legend and freakishly strong.

How strong was this GentleMan? I know He was stronger than I ever will be.

Neither bench was paused; but Eddie has walked the walk, and has proof of the lifts.

Very informative video. He was really sttong, but i think he must have been using steroids!

A true champion. Humble just like John. And worked for a living. Unlike showboat Devon. Bad sport and a cheat...

I think it's ridiculous that there even is any "controversy" about Park using steroids. Park was a genetic freak. Searle released Nilevar in 1956 and Ciba released Dianabol in 1958. So nobody was using synthetic anabolic steroids before 1956; they didn't exist. Most likely, only the very highest-level US West Coast bodybuilders knew of them by 1958. Reg Park weighed 226 when he won Mr Britain in 1949, 214 when he won Mr Universe in 1951, 215 when he won it the second time in 1958, and 216 when he placed 3rd in 1971. If Park really had started using steroids when he learned of them, then they would have produced one pound of muscle on him in 11 years. And before anyone starts accusing Park of using testosterone, no one had access to testosterone before 1950 as it wasn't FDA-approved until then. Even then it was only made in small batches for research purposes. The only testosterone that anyone would have had access to was that mail-order stuff marketed as oral testosterone which was completely ineffective. John Ziegler, doctor for the US weightlifting team (York), learned about testosterone injections from the Soviets at the 1954 World Weightlifting Championships in Vienna. He then began experimenting with it on York lifters John Grimek, Jim Park, and Yaz Kuzahara. Not sure what the initial effects for them were but apparently they weren't significant enough to continue to use it as they ceased any further testosterone experimentation for the rest of the 50s. Ziegler started experimenting on his team with Dianabol in 1958 and by the early 60s it had spread to the bodybuilding world. So most likely, the first anabolic steroid use by western bodybuilders began with Dianabol in the late 50s/early 60s rather than testosterone.

All the top guys in the 1960's had amazing genetics AND were taking dianabol.

Im afraid steroids have been around since the 1940s and although Reg Park was probably drug free at the 180lb-200lb mark once he flew to America and met Joe Weider he was definitely on steroids he then competed at 225lb-240lb while matching world record lifts like a 500lb bench press as a bodybuilder...c'mon folks there was never a golden age of bodybuilding they were all on it.....if not where are all our 240lb natural bodybuilders now?? Ive been to a lot of natural bodybuilder competitors over the years and these guys are all way under 200lb. Ive been training all my life as a natural you can either get big and smooth or small and ripped you cant put on 40lbs of muscle while cutting for a show ffs!! End of debate!!

A real man mountain and probably one of the strongest natural men ever - given his history, build and character I can totally believe that Dean never took PEDs.

Where is Anatoly??

At 28 he looked 48 honestly. Beast mode always.

He would need to have more muscle and fat to have made those lifts. I kind of wish he just did strongman after the show the Hulk. Even though he had a great body physique is subjective where if he won weightlifting competitions he would really say he was the best. Body is a lot opionon.

Not a 1000 pd deadlifter ,but a strong man!!

He never claimed to be strong. He went for the aesthetic.

Who assaulted him...an elephant?
