Spencer in his new 501s. You are right Ron and the old time bodybuilders could actualy do something rather than just look good. But you forgot to mention the greatest of them all, John Grimek. A world class weightlifter, very good gymnast as well as unbeaten in bodybuilding.
Yes you are right Ray , Grimek and Reeves were the first really. Reeves got the fame by being Hercules. I started at 14 and still do a little today , never had a break.
Seeing as it;s a wrestling Forum I should really mentio Apollo , William Bankier. There were a few , Sandow too. Primitive stuff then , but strong men. Assirati of course.
Those were the days when bodybuilding produced bodies that people dreamed of. Drug free and led by Steve Reeves , then Reg Parks. Great shot of Spencer and pretty much a pioneer himself.
