Reeves is the aesthetics GOAT. It didn't hurt that he was movie star handsome, either.
>tfw you'll never look like Steve Reeves
Why even live?

He was probably using testosterone suspension and Dianabol later in his career, both of which were totally legal and thought of almost like vitamins at the time.

People who do Reeves deadlift often don't do Reeves deadlift. Note it's a classic York plate, not a trihandled plate. No thumbs either which is insane.
Very hard lift but fantastic. Will get your actual deads up too p much instantly.
>implying I don't
me on the left
Isn't it weird that physique gets dated just like fashion? If I saw this guy on the beach I'd assume he just stepped out of a time machine from the past.

what is the purpose/benefit to these
>>40913556
Tsatsouline uses them in his workshop for learning to max your grip in deadlift. If you can grip harder you can activate all the muscles up your arm and up to your upper back more (grip training is a great way to sort out upper back posture btw). Once you can brace your lats and shit better through better grip, tada, bigger deads.
As a sideeffect of better grip they're also great for forearm development. Plus the max is much lower than actual deads so you're not overtraining with too much volume. But you do get more deads volume!

meh. not really. the black and white photo and retarted shorts do give that impression though.

This has to be bait. Absolutely nobody on the planet would look at his physique and think he doesn't lift.
>>40913528
Oh I'm fucking crying it's so good.
>>40913528
I've seen it several times but can anyone tell the story behind it? They all know one another right?
>>40912817
His arms are long af. Especially compared to his relative height. A manlet like myself could never do this.
