Thanks for the props for my dad, Reg Park. If I say so myself, he certainly was a stud for those times and even present times. He was way ahead of his time, trained hard and heavy for a long time. He was a mans man, physically and mentally. I know you've been corrected by family members and others that my dad was born in Leeds in the UK but moved to SA, where he met my mom in the early 50's. Thanks again. I like your podcasts, grat stuff.

@ChannelMath

That's not the real, entire reason, I think. For one thing, I knew people who spoke like that, not on TV. Maybe TV reinforced it, but you can also hear regular people using that accent in "man-on-the-street" interviews. The accent screams "I am an upper class person who spends so much time on both sides of the Atlantic, I don't even know what I sound like anymore!", and I think they used it to give the show an air of authority and sophistication. The proto-Karen accent, you could call it.

They also had, and I was disappointed not to have seen here, those belt massagers. These also hurt me. Maybe they came later. My intuition at the time told me these were nonsense devices and I think others thought so too as I can't remember ever seeing anyone using them.

That clean was really clean. Might even call it a power clean. Or muscle clean I should say. And you always get full credit points when you show Clarence weightlifting or powerlifting. And to be fair that 50's body looks really aesthetic and well-rounded. It looks like a normal person who is very athletic. Sort of the look that Arnold had to his massive body. The lecturer really had it down, damn people in the 50's. "Go to shower and sleep well" is like just as good of advice today. Maybe even better. And many could take notes from the diet advice. Damn you 50's people.

It really wasn't until the release of Dianabol in 1958 that, with extremely few exceptions, you could get your hands on actually muscle improving drugs, and until the early 1960s that steroids became systemic in the sport.

Test was around but need to remember its 1951 forward, meaning extremely unlikely he built his physique in the 40s on gear. What little that was available were only for correcting severe handicap or life threatening medical conditions , there was no underground stuff, and no cultural reason to juice as it was'nt common knowledge for anyone outside specialist doctors. Regs physique is sub 25 ffmi and obtainable with above average genetics, I know I was close to his with good genes.
