(Photo above: Reg Park; Mr. Britain 1949; Mr. Europe 1950; Mr. Universe 1951; Mr. Universe - Pro 1958, 1965)Need some more classic physique building inspiration? Check out the films of classic physique building champion Reg Park! After Steve Reeves opened the way with his "Hercules" and "Hercules Unchained" films in the late 1950s, others took over the role of Hercules in a variety of classic muscle movies in the early 1960s. Reg starred in 5 films:
1) Hercules and the Captive Women (1961)
2) Hercules in the Haunted World (1961)
3) Hercules, the Prisoner of Evil (1964)
4) Maciste in King Solomon's Mines (1964)
5) Hercules the Avenger (1965)
The films are all available today in DVD format and there are many places, such as http://www.amazon.com/, where you can purchase them.
Reg had a more "rugged look" than Steve Reeves, but like Steve, he was "all natural." Check out our new clips from his film "Hercules in the Haunted World" (on the sidebar). He was and still is a great inspiration to any aspiring classic physique builder! - CPB

the reason I feel so few comment on Reg Park articles is because we equate Park as a steroid user with his connections with Arnold - as they say: you make your bed now you sleep in it!!!
I really like Reg Parks physique, it's more bulkier than Steve Reeves' physique. But did Reg Park use steroids? 'cause really, he looks huge!
