  • Steve Reeve's Old School Bodybuilding Workout
    Hope you enjoy this homage to Steve Reeves, a classic bodybuilding and star of the old school Hercules movies.
    Steve Reeves got our dad Duke into working out, and our dad got us into working out, so we wanted to make this video as a tribute. Hope you enjoy it.

    It's true... I started working out when I was 29 years and 364 days old. I am actually 5 inches shorter now... regret it so much

    I am 46. When I was twelve, I used to have to lift weights in my parents basement where my Mom couldn't see me because she used to start yelling at me that I was going to stunt my growth. I am 6'2. I guess I would have grown to be about seven feet had I not started weight lifting so early.

      @alessandropangia697 6 років тому +5

      Reeves juiced, as did those early bodybuilders too. They knew almost nothing about proper nutrition and training, yet testosterone has always been effective. Physiques of the '50s are achievable naturally today IF you have good genetics.

  • @mossy642
    @mossy642 3 роки тому +76

    Reeves would do slow, perfect reps, 2 up, three down, and if he could do 3 sets of 13 perfect reps, he’d add weight, then do the 8-12 rep range until he could do 13, then increase weight, etc. He did full body on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then took the weekend off. On off days, he would do cardio in the form of power walking, which he popularised.

Even some of my gym buddies spent time talking about how they can get more followers and sponsorship rather than actually working out at the gym.

    @JagdeepSingh-tm9fc 3 роки тому +1

    I used to get that "don't workout until you're 30" alooooot. I started working out at 15, and all of my friends and cousins who saw progress started to tell me that I shouldn't workout at this age as it could cause problems with my bones, can cause stunted growth. And if I stop working out for a week or two, and wanna join back they'll tell me there is no point in continuing your workout now as you've spoiled your body by not working out for too long. Alot of discouragement I faced which made me actually to stop lifting. Until I was 22 and got back in lifting as soon as I got the chance. And on the other hand another cousin of mine who started lifting by the age of 14, kept grinding and became buff as hell by 17 and is just as tall as I am now and has an amazing physique. Moral of the story, don't listen to all those disencouragements and JUSTDOIT!!
