Steve Reeves was a world champion bodybuilder (and well paid film star!) from the 40's and to this day he is well known as having the most proportional, most symmetrical physique of all time. He neck, biceps and calves were exactly the same measurement and his shoulder girth, chest and waist differentials were perpectly proportionate. And look at those thighs! Everything was near perfect. In my opinion this is the ideal physique.
Unlike bodybuilding routines of today, Steve always trained 3 non-consecutive days per week (Mon, Wed, Fri) and worked his entire body on those three days. His routine would begin with shoulders, the chest, back, triceps, biceps, thighs, calves, lower back and finally abs. His workouts were typical 2-3 hours in length! He only consumed three square meals per day!
Boy is that unlike workouts and diets of today! If you are interested in books written by him or DVD's of films he starred in, go to:
Beginning in January, 2012 I plan to train according to his 3-day per week plan, though my workout length will NOT exceed 1 hour.
