Steve is now my no.1.....Arnold was my no.1, until he said ," Screw your freedoms." Now Arnold Arnold is no.2.....if you know what I mean.

[@tequila_baby]

He is the last natural

[@Rezzatoni]

"I've spread my lats for thirty days; here is whats happened" is such a great idea, I really would like to see that vid; not so much the results part, but the thirty days coverage ...

[@rhonin210]

DO IT!

[@MWDuo]

Talking about the Steve Reeves custom weight belt, would love to see a collab with DIY Duke of you guys building your own custom equipment. Like the older building gyms out of wood or trash videos you made but customized for specific exercises

[@buffdudes]

That's an awesome idea!

[@Micah_Lal]

Great idea this. Can be a series of videos on its own

[@rdcwild3023]

One of the funniest episodes yet! Mikayla not being able to contain her laughter was hilarious 😂

[@IgnatiusCheese]

Been watching for 12 years, love you guys

[@AndrewDembouski]

You guys have my favorite workout videos ever! Love the variety. Starting DAY 1 of the BUFF Dudes Bulking program today!

[@generalmcterror2718]

This one you can tell y’all were having a good time with it. Last two were definitely interesting exercises to say the least. But that dead lift is certainly a recipe for a grip of steel. Also I thought the Will Tennyson mention was funny and unexpected, I think a collab with him would be pretty funny to see.

[@christianstreit950]

So good to see these guys having lots of fun while working out. This mentality seems to be gone at gyms today - when I started lifting as a skinny teenager back in the 90s I basically did it because for me it was all fun and enjoying the workouts is what kept me going and still progressing until 2024. Reeves was right : if you enjoy something you will stick to it for the rest of your life. Great content, very inspiring! 💪

[@Buff629]

Right been doing bodybuilding for years with my dad . Bodybuilding exploded on KZbin now.

[@Buff629]

Like Joe weider Eugene sandow Alan Calvert Ken Waller Charles atlas Lou Ferrigno Reg park

[@rabidspatula1013]

Steve Reeves is an absolute legend. Was also introduced to Steve via my dad's love of the Hercules movies.

[@andrewzach1921]

Really cool workouts and video. Thanks guys

[@LaB567]

“Cervical Snappers” had me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mikaelsiren5386]

I love this channel and i love full-body workouts! I love that old school feeling. Train 3 times a week, every other day and rest and don’t be too hard on yourself. Ofcourse, during his rest days, Steve was known for his active recovery. Like powerwalking 40-45 min and then as a finisher training abs and calves❤🥹

[@agabuffwhite]

All of these look super cool! 💪

[@tomkolos170]

Great seeing you guys hit a Reeves-style workout. Keep up the great content, and be well!

[@davefletch3063]

Steve Reeves is amazing

[@mattmallecoccio8378]

Yats Ffub! I've always wanted to see someone do the Steve Reeves deadlift. I had heard so much about it.

[@piperken1656]

Reg Park is my idol. Him and Steve definitely had it going on. I would love to see you guys do Reg Parks workout

[@emanuelrivera8368]

I have Bob Paris in my list of top aesthetic bodybuilders.

[@LiftingLikeLarry-wg3gb]

Same. Not just his physique but his posing was next level

[@johnnykuhn9111]

Yep. Right away I thought they missed Bob Paris.

[@stevemann1299]

He gets overlooked because homophobia is still real especially in America. But he had a magnificent physique As close as anyone has got to Reeves since Reeves.

[@johnnykuhn9111]

I think he gets overlooked b/c he was never a threat to win the Olympia. So his name is never at the forefront of many conversations.

[@stevemann1299]

@@johnnykuhn9111 He was better than anyone in the 80s as far as im concerned. No proportion. Haney was all back and chest

[@thedeveloper4207]

I love this series. Keep doing more

[@westoncroye643]

Just thought I would mention that Steve never used the Reeves deadlift as a hinge exercise but rather a shrug to help work the shoulders and target mostly the lateral head. However he has used as a hinge for strength feats to show weight lifters or other body builders that he was as strong as he looked

[@deltafreyr7671]

Great vid 😂😂😂💪🏻 thks humour and musccccllle

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Even today, Steve would still looks better than 95% of all modern guys walking the street

[@Mikhail99108]

Thanks gents, this was the perfect vid i was looking for steve reeves workouts 💪🇿🇦

[@EdwardIsakson]

Great video about a true bodybuilding legend. I enjoyed reading John Grimek’s articles in magazines back in the 1970s. Please consider doing one of his workouts!

[@Kreutz]

Completely forgot about the Around the World exercise with dumbbells for years. Thankfully you guys reminded me. It's a great warmup exercise

[@brianbachmeier34]

We're all gonna make it brahs

[@PaganChainsaw]

You mentioning it made me think about how we don't hear or see anything about the bronze or silver age. So a video or 2 covering that would be cool, possibly a series going from bronze to gold. Heck I'll even say it, a workout plan (when you're done with the current one of course lol) 💪

[@tonydeluna8095]

Let’s gooo buff 💪 dudes!! Yeahhh!!! Have a yourselves a badass weekend!

[@leehenry1165]

Loved Steve Reeves. Grew up watching those Hercules movies, and he is still one of the top bodybuilders, in my opinion. (I favor esthetics over mass.) I will definitely try some of these.

[@elvisincali]

Yup! Steve Reeves, there will never be another! My dad introduced me to him, because he was one of my dad's idols! Also, I actually met Steve Reeves, back when he was recommending the Total Gym... before Chuck Norris and Christy were sponsoring it! In like 1983, 1984... He was very nice, and very humble...👍😁 And it's great to see you guys are still natural like Steve!!! You guys have great genetics too... stay natural always!👍💪😁

[@eoinforHIT]

Really enjoyed this. Would be awesome to see something like this for Reg Park, John Grimek, Bruce Randall & Marvin Eder.

[@the1611sword]

Hell yeah, great video dudes!

[@theodorostoumbas]

Hey guys great video! Question.... Didn't you make a video about Ken Shamrocks Lion's Den workout? I cant find it

[@ScotsSens]

Going to try that plate held row today, been working out for 35 years and it's still fun to try new movements. On an unrelated topic, Hudson what product do you use to hold your hair to stay where you want it. Growing my hair out again for the first time in decades. Thanks

[@nijinokanata111]

loved learning some Reeves history!

[@Jpopguin]

Cool vid guys! Can you do another strength feat challenge video?

[@buffdudes]

Hi Jpop! Yes, apologize we haven't done one already. We've got a good idea in mind which would utilize some DIY creations as well. We will try to get on that. 💪

[@Jpopguin]

@@buffdudesoooh I’m curious what that means! 👀

[@michaelpane6446]

Steve Reeves the all time greatest, I have all his books very inspiring…how about a John Grimek workout?

[@AmericanWrathchild]

Would love to see you guys try George Hackenschmidts workout.

[@scoobtoober2975]

Love this revisit to old. I'm a vintage kind of guy, if it's practical and effective. I love my 1950's house. A joy to work on. How about the new book old time lifts for modern lifters ;) It was a different time back then. Watching will tennyson visit one of the oldest gyms Oliphant's in toronto with all of the barbells and old machines. Very cool. They would have loved or hated a smith machine or hammer row. If that was around then, they would have old man shammed it out of the gym. Or embraced it. i'm not sure

[@RyanKry]

That's a true big brother, he took one for the team with the last exercise.

[@tomlucasrccrawlers9108]

I have both Steves book among other articles by Steve & books containing Steve's workouts. I haven't seen this workout. Also, the super wide Grip "Reeves-Deadlifts" that some call it,, was never actually in Steve's workout schedule. It was "only" done to show-off for the camera. Steve even mentioned this in his book. Unless he contradicts himself elsewhere. I'm honestly curious of the sourse so i can check it out?

[@CaptainMauser]

When will we see the Jusup Wilkosz killer triceps workout?

[@SuperhumanUnchained]

Great fitness motivation

[@arissp4950]

You need to do a Reg Park but the hardcore one where he does 5x5 on like 10 exercises

[@Plush_Anim]

I do have a set of dumbells. I saw you have a 12 week workout plan. I am 37 and 250 pounds and diabetic. Would that workout help me lose weight. I want to get down to 170 over a year if that is possible. Or would I need a different plan. There is no gym near me. But I have a bench a dumbell which can also turn into a barbell. I havent exercized in years and I want to have better health. Or do you think a different plan might be better. Like the body plan?

[@river3163]

Did he have any wrist issues? I have hypermobile joints and sometimes bar work is challenging bc my joints can't support motion the way they should so going right for the plate may help with that. (No idea, just tossing out thoughts)

[@wishzl777]

Ohh, finally buff dudes uploaded new video

[@davidmiranda9227]

Steve reeves is definitely a bodybuilding goat, his physique is aesthetic goals. Maybe you guys can cover reg park. Also some bronze era guys like Bobby Pandour

[@mwoods85]

We did the neck builders in football a lot. The neck strength to prevent injury.

[@thejoker420xp]

i think he prefered to hold the plates cuz you can strech the muscle more. when holding the plates it works your grip and you can get a deeper streach cuz your chest doesnt hit the bar durring the row. the dead lift realy streaches the upper back too. it might be exactly how he built such a wide frame

[@brianriley6343]

Besides the benefits of grip strength, is there a muscle benefit to the reeve's deadlift? If so, after grip failure just strap through a handle on a 45

[@bluebyyou7504]

Its good to see fitness influencers who not full of roids.

[@irishinnj72]

There was a story I read one time about Steve Reeves. He believed that every rep should be done with perfect form, even if you had to lower the weight a bit after a few sets. So one day he's in Vince Gironda's gym working out and some young guy starts loudly running his mouth about the weight Reeves was using, making fun of the "sissy weights that Hercules" was using instead of "lifting like a man." So this goes on for a bit and Reeves hasn't said a word this whole time, but decides that he's had enough. So Reeves walks over to where the kid was doing deadlifts, he had around 375 on the bar. Reeves then grabs the bar with his Reeves deadlift grip and with no visible strain, he easily lifts the bar off the ground for 5 reps, puts it back down and walks away like a boss all without saying a word. The kid's just standing there with his mouth hanging open and everyone in the gym starts laughing their ass off and clapping for Reeves. I'm guessing that was the last time that kid had anything to say to Reeves except Sir.

[@eoinforHIT]

As amazing as this story sounds, I don't believe it because you said Vince's Gym & deadlifts.

[@irishinnj72]

@@eoinforHIT Franco Columbo and Arnold Schwarzenegger both did deadlifts on the regular and they both went to Vince's Gym for many years.

[@eoinforHIT]

@@irishinnj72 I will need to look this up, as Gironda was very anti squats, bench press & deadlift. He didn't allow them to be done in his gym unless it was his variation of those movements.

[@wrathchildrocks]

Great vid 💪🦾

[@zacharymartin5198]

Do a video, of completing vince gironda 36 egg a day diet I truly believe it raised my testosterone, I made gains and got leaner as the weeks went on. I did it for 4 weeks mon-fri and then ate 5/6 regular meals with carbs on Saturday and Sunday!

[@elikebudi]

Cervical Snappers😂😂 Damn!

[@ShamanAthleticTraining]

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw "Cervical Snappers." For real, though, 90's TV bodybuilders were doing this exercise with a 2 1\2 or 5 lb plate, back of the neck and front of the neck.

[@paultaylor107]

John Grimek next ?

[@verablack3137]

The thing is, we have natural bodybuilders now, but they kinda look terrible compared to the silver era because they are so focused on low bodyfat that they almost look like muscular concentration camp victims rather than impressive and healthy like the silver and bronze era lifters did. When current era natural bodybuilders are in the off season they look so much better than when they are on contest prep

[@War624]

Agree. I'm no body builder. Just your average 30+ dude trying to lose some weight, but I've always appreciated the body builder look. Just not the ultra lean, dehydrated look.

You guys are great! But you talk about genetic advantage as though you aren't 6 foot+ well structured guys. I always like Grimek because he was genetically thicker than Reeves and was shorter. But always loved Reeves for the aesthetic ideal.

[@ericbarton6690]

The reeves 'deadlift' is not really a deadlift actually. It's more of a shrug, you're meant to pick up the bar and then shrug the bar for reps at the top.

[@doyschellekens7513]

You guys mentioned the bronze age. Why not do a brothers vs brothers video. Buff dudes vs Saxon brothers
