Just thought this would be interesting to throw in her. Steve Cook claims that he is 6’ 1" tall and weighs 210 at 5%. Steve Reeves was also 6’ 1" 210 (probably not at that low of a BF though). Cook says that he is more into proportions like Reeves was but obviously still trains like a bodybuilder to achieve that physique. [/quote]
I’ll throw in a few extra tidbits to give some sort of comparison:
Reeves also claimed 19" arms, calves and neck. Now despite the perfect proportions he is always cited for, these are not dimensions for someone who is small, especially when you consider how relatively lean he was, as well as his above average height.
Also, according to a good number of his contemporaries (and I’m sure others will argue, as Reeves himself publicly denied) he made use of PEDs as well. Although even if he did, I would imagine the dosages used by any of the top guys back then (this is pre-Olympia days) would be considered laughable by today’s bodybuilders and even MPD competitors.

I THINK I remember him (could have been someone else) saying he used them for a short period, but felt SO extremely guilty for doing so, that he never did again. Not sure exactly at which point that was in his career though.
