I am named after Steve Reeves, the legendary 1950's
American Bodybuilder and Hercules Film Actor
(My dad was a great fan!) so it was inevitable that I would
take up Bodybuilding Weight Training
I was always physically active as a kid, being into running,
cycling, gymnastics, tree climbing etc. and started Bodybuilding
Weight Training at around age 16 to try and Build Muscle and
Strength.
My aim has always been to build a well proportioned Classical
Physique in the Steve Reeves, Frank Zane, Bob Paris
mould. This means developing arms, calves and neck with equal
measurements, having broad shoulders and a narrow waist giving
an impressive V-shape. At the time of writing my chest is 49"
and my waist is 26" - that's a 23 inch difference which equals
Steve Reeves at his best. I hope to increase that to a 2 feet
difference over the next few months. My arms, calves and neck
are all around the 17 inch mark and at a height of 5 feet 9.5 inches
I currently weigh 200lbs.

Much of the Exercise Equipment in the Gym was hand-built by Les himself.
