Reg had an awesome body but I’ve never seen anything on his diet so I was wondering if anyone else had.
I want to know his measurements for that milk/honey shake he used to have??
This is my favorite website for all that golden age bodybuilding stuff, I’m sorry i didn’t search, but there could be something about Reg’s diet there somewhere.

Excellent thank you.
Do you use golden age style?

Training style from the golden age? No?..
Actually yeah…there’s a whole bunch of articles from about 2 months ago on that site by Bradley Steiner called simply “Powerlifting” (though it’s more about incorporating the three main lifts as well as some others into a basic heavy bb routine)

No, there’s no one particular training program from “the golden age” that all guys from that era used.
Steve Reeves used full-body training; John Grimek was a top-level Olympic weightlifter; Clancy Ross used a bodypart split; for the majority of Park’s training career, he made a point of training for strength and was the strongest bodybuilder for quite a while.
Each of these guys, and their contemporaries, built impressive and admirable bodies with different methods.
Regarding his diet, a bit of Googling came up with this, dictated by Reg himself:
Breakfast:
A glass of fresh orange juice
Fruit: papaya & banana
Cooked Oatmeal (Large soup plate full) with full cream/whole milk & fresh cream
A plate of bacon, eggs, tomato and toast
A couple of cups of tea
Lunch:
Large bowl of soup (tomato, pea, minestrone etc.) with rye bread
Cooked vegetables
Beef steak (2 Kg)
Dessert
A couple of cups of tea with some chocolate
Also wine or milk stout (like Guinness)
Supper:
Same as lunch.
(Reg would consume milk stout/Guinness as an aid when he needed to gain weight)
Park has also stated, “I liked to eat like a king, but only food that was good for me. I ate prodigious amounts of food during the day, but adhered to a very balanced diet with everything in proper proportions. My favorite food is steak, which I sometimes eat twice a day. I also like salads, orange juice and wine. I have a wine cellar in my home. I also have used protein supplements and take vitamin and mineral tablets.”
I’ve read a lot of books on the ‘golden age’ of bodybuilding, and most of the competitors back then lived on enormous quantities of meat, eggs and milk.

eggs, meat and milk: it obviously works
I have also heard that he was a beast in the big 3, if I recall correctly he could squat 800#
He, Ivan Stoitsov and backflips were the reason I started lifting.
