George Eiferman is a perfect example of what a real bodybuilder should look like! His body was fantastic, not like all the disgusting steroid bodies you see nowadays. George Eiferman, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Marvin Eder, etc. They were the best ever!

His arms look very good, they resembled those of Arnold - great peak! He had tremendous potential, but his career was cut short by a motorcycle accident when he was just 21.

Arnold had those kind of arms at age 18-19 and it's commonly accepted that he was already taking Steroids at that point and a 16 y/o Leroy had a more developed musculature than an 18 y/o Arnold, so it goes without saying. I just can't figure out exactly what could have been available to him so far back in time.

Beautiful story ....

Colbert was just too big for his time to give him the benefit of the doubt. 20 inch arms just don't happen naturally. There are guys in the olympia now who don't even hit 20 in the off season with all the drugs they want.

Can we agree that Reeves was :1/ Quite muscular & lean @16, 2/ After 2yrs training, @18, a drug-free solid 203Lbs, while still a -bit- less than his full adult height. If so, what do you believe would've been his best gains naturally over the next 2yrs of hard training? To me,13Lbs in 24months between ages 18 & 20 seems like a fairly conservative gain for a dedicated traineee. What would you have accepted?

Upon looking further into the "Colbert Files", I've found a pic of the 16 yr-old Leroy which makes me believe he grew most, if not all, of his muscle naturally.

I looked up Colbert. For what it's worth: 1/ He wasn't as tall as I thought. 2/ He still denies 'vehemently',(good word!), ever using. 3/ He claims to've achieved his max, 20.5" upper arms, (pumped), in '58, the same yr a -lot- of BBers suddenly got bigger. 4/ He's still -very- big, (tho admittedly not so lean). 5/His last competiton was at 21,(perhaps even only 20),yrs old, but trained heavy many more years to promote his supplements. Seems like he might've been 'clean' before '58.
