The first:
Sure the mr universe of 1951 is the best Reg Park in volume and definition of old times. I know that there are people that prefer the mr universe 1965, but Reg himself prefer his first victory. This was a break with the suppouse limits of a men. The last year he was great and had a terrible back and incredible definition, but the next year his muscular mass reach his peak.
-
The second:
The so acclamed 3th comeback. It's 1965 and Reg has an arm of 19,5 inches de night of the show, near or above 230 lb of BW.
Maybe the magic of this title's images was the combination of a body with one of his best shape ever and the signs of a mature Reg.
Why I used this simple photo? Because with this simple pose that I named the golf swing pose, Reg show a phantastic combination of shape and volume for that night.
-
and for ending this first set of photos of this night, I want to show, of course, the title of 1958. What happens to Reg's life in 1950? It was the last years in his belowed England due to his wife's lung problems, Mareon Park (she came from ZA) One year before he used a pure bodybuiding workout (with no power training exercises) and this gives the best shape for him in his life: The Mr USA 1957. An another day I am going to talk about the Mr USA, but for now only we need to know that he was going to go to another country and he need a recent victory in the mr universe to promote his arrived in ZA. So he prepares 5 weeks (The boy doesn't need anot rhing more 8) ) and win again with a pver good form, yf you see the pic. God, the lats and the rib cage are inmese here!
-
And let's go back to his begginigs. what about a young Reggie in his tender teen years when he tauch for the first time the weights. You can observe the small waist that let him in the future do his impossibles rib cage expansions from a lateral biceps pose. It's athletic (he coud do 100 push up every day) but who could image those times the enourms changes he would do in the future?
-
This photo is from 1962-1963. The popularity of Reg Park reach one of his peaks with the Hercules films he made. Compare it with the last pic. Is the same person? Amazing!!
-
1967 was another good year for Reg, he went to York BB. and visit Grimek for the first time in many years. He was big (over 245 lb) shape and well proportionante altought his 39 years old. This was the year, twenty years back, that he began training with a local Leeds guy named Dave Cohen.
-
Look at the text!! If Reg would won the 1972 Mr u, then his son, Jon Jon could win the 1977 Mr U. ;D. Some laughts, these is only a joke of Reg.
-
1975, Sandton, Johannesburg. Arnold is preparing for his mr Olympia title of the year (one of the things he usually do after breakfast, ;D) and decide to visit his menter and friend, Reg Park. Reg is now retired from the contests, but he is in great shape: good volume and very well ripped.
-
What about the bulked phases of Reg in the 50s. Obviously he trained for stringth goals in those time. Only two times, afterithe 1951 Mr Universe he went for a bodybuilding training. Later on in his life, he wold control his weight around 220 lb;
-
What about the failed Mr Universes of the 70s? Well, I would not call them as failed, as the second or the 3th position in the high class is a very good position for a free drug man over 40 years.
There is a wanderfull shot of Reg in the 1973 Mr universe ( the contest that we have less pics of him) were Park spread his arms like gigantic wings, showing the great dorsals and the serratus and ribcage. A monument of the classical body. In the same photography is showed Boyer Coe, that at last won the competition. He has more thicker muscles and better definition, but the typology of steroids is clear seen.
-
Now a good pic from 1971 mr U:
-
Reg after the mr Universe 1951. The begin of the king's reign. Great.. all!
-
Let's have a look to the 1970 contest! Front double biceps position:
-
From the sixties. Maybe in his 3th mr universe or later. You can see in the previous photo (two back) of Reg's back in 1951 how is exactly the same back fivteen years later.
-
Pure energy, good size and definition in the the begginings of the fivties.
-
A new generation of bodybuilders appear with this photographie.
-
The Legend in the mr olympia 1980 with 52 years in his back, as a guest poser. This three photographies were an epic moment for me when I look into the small images that appear in the lost footage. His figure was splendit for his age. Good things, good pecs, and an astounish traps and six pack abs better than many man that nigh would appear in the sow. The part of his anatomyt that show clear less volume was the arms, as happens with many men not in roids of his age. It's a pity that his huge carge of jobs don't let hin to train as in the fivties. When he do it, three years later, his form was great.
-
Do you imagine a titan like the Reg of 1951 orthe Reg of 1965 competing for the mr olympia in 1980?
Here. Reg in his best form ever:
-
Let's have a look to the 1970 contest! Front double biceps position:
The pic to the righ is one of my favorites!
-
The past and the future in one contest!
-
Reg after the mr Universe 1951. The begin of the king's reign. Great.. all!
Ha ha ha! I quoted the wrong post last time. ;D
This is the one! 8)
-
I like this one! :)
-
Visiting York.
Borrowed it from http://www.ironhistory.com/ (http://www.ironhistory.com/)
-
Great pictures, Steff! This last Reg weighted near 250 lb again.
-
Dramatic back pose of Reg. Unknow date.
-
I like this one! :)
This is the photo that was used in the Memorial service in Los Angeles, one week later the pass away. In the main page of this site you can view the three videos of the Arnold's remembering Reg.
-
How could I not post this pic before? It's one of the best of his career!!
-
I am serious, in this contest Reg had one of the best shapes of his life. Very good mass and a terrible definition, maybe as good as in 1951.
-
Innusual photo of the early fivities. What have to say to this thick mass and small waist. This could be made twenty years after.
-
Yrue gentleman. This is more important than the titles you can win.
-
Arnold almost look jealous of Dave Draper in that pic! ;D
-
This is a not great Reg Park photo, but my wife said he was so attractive that I have to put here. Mr olympia, Reg is the master cermemonie.
-
I begin no remember what pic I post before.
Wow, that triceps shot!
-
Beatifull, before going to America frist time.
-
I begin no remember what pic I post before.
Wow, that triceps shot!
Whoa! ;D
-
Reg impressive more than ever. Very bad resolution. But better vacuum and biceps.
-
Huge huge in the mr USA 1957. He was the king for.... brrrrffffff 8) many, many years.
-
This is form Hercules movies, as you may notice, but have to be here because is not only one the best pics of the sitory of peplum films, but also from bodybuilding.
-
The master of this pose:
-
Rare pick if the fiveties. The king.
-
Now a good pic from 1971 mr U:
Time after time I see it clear. This contest shows a great and amazing Reg. He was the best of the clean guys with two years more than Bill Pearl (another cavalry of the Iron Game)
-
Come bach to the mr universe again: the very first and and some aspects, the better.
-
This is a not usuall photo of Reg in the WBBG 1972 guest pose. He has not the best volume, but the shape was perfect. But the pose has something special, giving to me one of the most beautifull aestetical picture of Reg Park.
You can compare it with this one 8 years later:
-
Inmense amount of muscle, twenty years before his time. 1951 and 1957.
-
In the Mr Britain times. But I think the slogan is a weider one and not Park's.
-
All welcome here, would said Reg Park, to the Iron Game World.
-
Arnold had Reg as his biggest hero, but in his encyclopedia were not his best quality photos.
-
The last photo I found:
from the last sixties.
-
the ancient times of the bodybuilding. you don't need only to show good muscles, but also the use them.
-
compare with this: http://forum.regpark.eu/index.php?topic=121.msg393#msg393 some years later. Incredible mass gain of the deltoids.
-
Hercules in everywhere. Photos of the late sisties, I think.
-
Come on, Hercules! Even you has to sleep. ;D
-
Mythical cover of the fiveties with the two heroes of the peplum films films
-
Any date. It's a simple and spontaneus photography, but Reg is in great shape. Maybe 70's?
-
Reg in the 70s. Near the 1970 Mr Universe

-
Maybe after the mr Britain 1949:
-
The amazing Reg's abs in his early twnties:
-
With a great arms development that proof that in the sixties he continued developing more muscles:
For compare, the same pose in 1956
-
We are in the beggining of 1950 and Reg is doing chins. As with the bent over rowing , the two mst important mass building exercises for the back.
-
The same day, training the abs:
-
And one year later, 1951, doing his best exercise for biceps mass builder:
-
After winning his 3th mr universe:
-
Oh, the old times!! Grimek, what do you think?
-
What, this great photo isn't alright uploaded?? :-[
-
After the mr Britain 1949. This year and 1950 were the most incredible cuts of REg's career!!
Thanks to the Thomas's material
-
You can see here that you don't need to have 20 inchs arms to look amazing
-
I love this photograph!!!
If I think of me training, it always appeard this pic in my mind.
-
In Hawai. 50s
-
A very young Reg full of muscle. I think 1949 in his first voyage to America.
-
Compare this back pose with this, 16 years after, in his 3th Mr Universe:
-
From the same year of 1949:
-
I think from the 1965 mr universe. Not usually seen.
-
May be one of the best backs of Reg's careeer:
-
Finally we have this photograph in color!
-
One step near perfection and the final victory. 15 years in between
-
Lat spread of a massive Reg. Not sure the date. Maybe end of 1958-59 or sixties.
-
A very young Reg full of muscle. I think 1949 in his first voyage to America.
Hmm... Somehow I can see where Arnold got some of his posing from.... ::)
-
What superb shape and mass showed Reg in 1969. What a pity that he couldn't show that development the next year un the Mr universe:
-
Surely one of the best photo of Reg in the seventies:
-
Lats spread of Reg. Unkown date.

Very aestetic
-
After the universe 1951 I think

Reg training at his best shape. Early sixties. He would destroyed Arnold himself at the 70 Mr U with this shape.
-
Beatiful and strong. Between 1964-1967
-
Same date:
-
Frank Zane and Reg Park 1978

And one of the last exhibitions he did (Liverpool, 1987):
-
Side chest post from the Liverpool 1987
It's very interesting this photographies if you compare them with the poisoning of chemical substance that takes over all the bodybuilding world, even the amateur and masters contests. The arms are smaller, only slightly, than the 1980 Mr Olympia posing, but that's quite natural with the aging process. there is nothing to hide here. This is natural life. Is this really so bad that it should be hidden with a grotesque vascularity, bulbous musculature and pregnant bodybuilders?
-
Another pose from liverpool 87:
Altough a little fat in the abs, his shape is excelent. Sorry for the lack of definition
The 80 mr olimpia pose as a comparative:
-
One more:
-
Another:
-
This is the day of the exhibitions photos!. In his peak in the 60s. A beast of nature that would cause the 1980 Mr Olympia Bodybuilders be in panic.
-
An photos from the final exhibition Reg Park did in Toronto, in 1988.
-
two, compare with the same pose from the 80 olympia
-
three:
-
and four:
-
Another one exhibition. Late sixites
-
This photo of a young Reg in 1950 is online here, but with bad quality.
-
Reg posing in his garden's home. 1972-1973
22 years in between this photo and the last one. Although Reg's physique was still superb, his age was noticeable. As the living body transforms and adapts to the time in which it lives.
-
Maybe 1950-51
-
A classic pose around 1950
