Steve Reeves The Greatest
Born in Glasgow, Montana, Steve Reeves moved to California at the age of 10 with his mother Goldie, after his father Lester Dell Reeves died in a farming accident.
Reeves developed an interest in bodybuilding while in high school and trained at Ed Yarick's gym in Oakland.
By the time he was 17 he had developed a Herculean build, long before the rise in general interest in bodybuilding.
After graduating from high school, he entered the Army during the latter part of World War II, and served in the Pacific.

Steve Reeves a Simple Philosophy
It has been over 50 years since Steve Reeves competed in Bodybuilding Competitions and yet to this day Steve Reeves is held up as the perfect body, the body to work toward emulating. It was a sad day for all of us that looked up to Steve Reeves or had the pleasure of meeting this icon of Bodybuilding, when we heard on May 1st, 2000, that Steve Reeves had passed away. Like the Greek Gods, Steve Reeves will live on, for he shall be remembered.
