Steve Reeve's Old School Bodybuilding Workout

Steve Reeve's Old School Bodybuilding Workout
Hope you enjoy this homage to Steve Reeves, a classic bodybuilding and star of the old school Hercules movies.
Steve Reeves got our dad Duke into working out, and our dad got us into working out, so we wanted to make this video as a tribute. Hope you enjoy it.

[@ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

I am 46. When I was twelve, I used to have to lift weights in my parents basement where my Mom couldn't see me because she used to start yelling at me that I was going to stunt my growth. I am 6'2. I guess I would have grown to be about seven feet had I not started weight lifting so early.

[@aaaaaa-sw3ds]

Mauricio Labra ofc lol I workout since 12.5 years old

[@bigmuscles250lbs]

When I got up to 167 lbs my mother didn't want me to get any bigger. I ultimately got up to 235 lbs and 19 3/4" guns.

[@AndreInvests]

Don't workout until you're 30 years old or else you will stunt your growth haha! Love it guys!

[@EduRockR]

hahah the text was a real gem!

[@AndreInvests]

lol it was!

[@reticent6837]

Is it true

[@Thecallcool]

ITINERANT * no lol

[@exsk506]

fucking freaked me out till seeing this comment,thank god

[@tricepsish]

It's true... I started working out when I was 29 years and 364 days old. I am actually 5 inches shorter now... regret it so much

[@mike0near]

tricepsish hahaha

[@treshtalk88]

Lol

[@alexandrebeaudry1038]

And don't work out after 60 or the same will happen.

[@buffdudes]

Damn. They told you to wait...and you. didn't. LISTEN!!

[@semproniusdensus1983]

LOL that is it.

[@mossy642]

Reeves would do slow, perfect reps, 2 up, three down, and if he could do 3 sets of 13 perfect reps, he’d add weight, then do the 8-12 rep range until he could do 13, then increase weight, etc. He did full body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then took the weekend off. On off days, he would do cardio in the form of power walking, which he popularised.

[@quanfantastic4831]

His body is definitely old school 🔥💯

[@dahlmer1234]

Did some training back in the mid 70s with some bodybuilders well into their 50s and 60s, I was in my 20s. They always did full body training. They were extremely conditioned and looked great.

[@pauloguga]

Full body is the shit

[@MysterD515]

Paulo Guga It is really tough. I tried his championship workout. It's a lot of reps and sets. It contains more than 70 sets.

[@philipph.3876]

@@MysterD515 Of course, it's tough, it was a contest preparation routine. Steve Reeves, in his book, said the best way to bulk is 6 sets per body part, 8-12 reps and always going to failure to achieve the most possible bulk of muscle.

[@casualjay909]

@@Mks25932 lmao! That went completely over you head.

[@Atlas77]

just came across this video now and i didn't even consider these workouts with dumbbells well most of them gonna give them a go

[@KonElKent]

The Faux-Reeves actually has a very accurate 50s era physique. I'm impressed.

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

Thanks For Sharing These 📹!Steve Reeves LookSo MUSCULAR AWESOME AND Very Handsome TOO!

[@robertoacevedo6247]

I'm 52 yrs old and I started bodybuilding because if steeve Reeves not Arnold, watched all his movies and read lots of articles on him, he was the true king of bodybuilding! Thanks great video , funny to!

[@mikechevreaux7607]

Steve Reeves Was 💯% Natural, Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@jamesduclos2545]

Steve Reeves was a GREAT bodybuilder. Classic old school!

[@fitlawnguy]

Funny video bro. I'd rather have that classic old school physique than the juiced up freak beast look anyday

[@lonewolf604]

Agreed. People seem to be getting more into classic look anyway. Just look at all the parted haircuts and thick framed glasses everyone is wearing now.

[@kylesweeney929]

These guys are juiced up lol

[@coolhunter3]

Kyle Sweeney If you think these guys are on juice you either A: have no idea what you're talking about, B: are using it as an excuse to not work hard in the gym or C: all of the above Both of their physiques are perfectly attainable naturally.

[@fitlawnguy]

Benjamin Hamilton yea that's obvious, I was referring to the look bodybuilders had before steroids were introduced.

[@alessandropangia697]

Reeves juiced, as did those early bodybuilders too. They knew almost nothing about proper nutrition and training, yet testosterone has always been effective. Physiques of the '50s are achievable naturally today IF you have good genetics.

[@chriswright6245]

The power walk at the end killed me!, 😂🚶

[@classystevo4052]

Haha that’s awesome man! Steve Reeves really was an icon of the day

[@mikechevreaux7607]

The Best Hercules

[@joeblackman100]

Brilliant voice over guys

[@steelgila]

Beautiful Mr. Reeves but don't forget those deadlifts and toe raises! And crunches.

[@ScapularSaves]

I loved watching Steve Reeves' movies. Thank you so much.

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

Thanks For Sharing These Videos 📹 🙌 ❤ 🙏 💕 😊!

[@TokenBlack]

I'm limited to home workouts for a while and I have some dumbbells so this is perfect. I'll probably do this three times a week

[@EvanMcGovern]

This was one of my favorite videos!

[@jawad597]

Steeve reeves is my favorit bodybuilder of anytime! Ty to remember him through your video.

[@jeanbaumgartner4052]

Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 TO That One! ADAM!

[@muhaiminzulkarnain5628]

I wish I could workout the old-school ways, in an old-school gym. Nowadays, it's all about who can lift the heaviest, taking selfies and getting followers on social media. Even some of my gym buddies spent time talking about how they can get more followers and sponsorship rather than actually working out at the gym.

[@francissquire9910]

With all the fads and fashions of the past 60 years, you can't go wrong with a good old fashioned workout like this.

[@devinrivers5808]

Francis Squire yep...good ole fashion training

[@steveamoni641]

Nice I haven't done much lifting lately but I will give this a try

[@leroymorris6036]

Thanks guys, funny and good advise

[@darkerimpulses7146]

Such a great job on this video dudes! You totally nailed the nostalgia factor from the music to the narration! Love the respect for Steve Reeves! Happy 2018 Buff Dudes!!

[@SuperhumanTroy]

LOVE IT! Your editing and storytelling game is so on point. Goals for days

[@buffdudes]

Thanks dude really appreciate it! Definitely a huge part of what makes this so fun for us.

[@RWmHII]

Good one. I started my morning with this workout. I did the exercises as super sets to save time and keep my heart beating. Jumping jacks and pullups rather than a brisk walk. Thanks Dudes.

[@blutosadlowski]

Struck a nerve bro. Steve Reeves was the greatest. You guys got it going right too. Cool vid

[@desslattery3457]

Brilliant

[@noirrevolv5728]

This workout seems pretty simple yet effective. I don't go to the gym but I do have dumbbells at home and also, I like workouts that target all areas of the body and doesn't take too much time! All I did is something like this and gradually increase on the weights overtime. I can see my fitness and strength improving little by little. Much thanks for the share!

[@TheChillzoneX]

My god the slightly unsyched audio made it so good...you gyus are creative AF

[@jlafunk]

I really like this one. It's actually a lot of great classic moves that can be as simple or as challenging as you want to make them.

[@avi8r2005]

Ha this was awesome! Nailed it with the old time work out in slacks too.

[@antoniorobles3498]

[@MrTrenttness]

NICE! The production quality was excellent!

[@GuyHarvey182]

This was such a good vid!! The music and the old fashion theme 100%

[@A.B.RoyerWoodWorking]

I love this workout. I think it's straight forward and covers so much of the body. The only things I added was a set of pull ups and good mornings. What I found interesting is how challenging the pushups were for me. I have a fairly strong bench, but I also weigh ~285lb so sixty push ups totally kicked my butt(chest and triceps haha). Thanks again for the content, Steve Reeves was such an interesting and inspriational figure to so many people.

[@grandtheftavtomobile6626]

Pretty good footage of Steve. Hard to believe it's from the 50's. He looks like one of the Buff Dudes. Has to be a connection. Aesthetic as fuarkkk

[@roadstar499]

i need to pickup a couple of those olympic dumb bells i have a hexes up to 50lbs and regular ones plus a golds power stand dumbell set i found all rusted and restored...but those olympic ones can be loaded up to over 100lbs each...which would be awesome for a lot of movements...thanks for sharing

[@kgbarrett1521]

HILARIOUS😂😂😂😂 and awesome at the same time💜

[@JagdeepSingh-tm9fc]

I used to get that "don't workout until you're 30" alooooot. I started working out at 15, and all of my friends and cousins who saw progress started to tell me that I shouldn't workout at this age as it could cause problems with my bones, can cause stunted growth. And if I stop working out for a week or two, and wanna join back they'll tell me there is no point in continuing your workout now as you've spoiled your body by not working out for too long. Alot of discouragement I faced which made me actually to stop lifting. Until I was 22 and got back in lifting as soon as I got the chance. And on the other hand another cousin of mine who started lifting by the age of 14, kept grinding and became buff as hell by 17 and is just as tall as I am now and has an amazing physique. Moral of the story, don't listen to all those disencouragements and JUSTDOIT!!

[@danielconnell4890]

The dubbing voice killed me.

[@Dovahninja]

This was.... An experience. Which I loved.

[@vaidehiraghavan]

You guys are awesome, hilarious and weird in a good way! With your workout, keep motivating others to do the same. Thanks

Steve Reeves was so jacked for a person during his time period, compare him to other bodybuilders of his period and you can see why many see him as the originator of modern bodybuilding

Looks to me like standard pleated dress pants that would come with a suit, and a simple short sleeve button-down Don't know if you can get that exact look today, but I bet you could get close at just about any store that sells Men's Wear It does look good, and comfortable
