Steve Reeves - Mr. Universe (1954)

[@mastersathlete7380]

These gentlemen have great physiques that are not only achievable, but sustainable. A much healthier era for bodybuilding than in later decades.

[@inquisitor4635]

Testosterone would first start to be used in American bodybuilding one year later. Reeves never took any, but Bill Pearl and Grimek would make that transition to using testosterone and their physiques definitely showed a large gain as a result.
