Reg The Leg

problem people: reputation-ally toxic, fail to obscure underlying liability, dig deeper graves, both symptom and multiplier

Eating gummy bears (or similar simple-sugar candies) after a workout is definitely "a thing" in bodybuilding and strength training circles—it's not just a meme or random hack. It's rooted in sports nutrition science, particularly around post-workout recovery and the anabolic window...simple sugars that absorb extremely quickly without needing much digestion

**Reg Park** (full name Roy "Reg" Park) was one of the most influential figures in early bodybuilding history, often called a pioneer of the sport's "Golden Era." Born on June 7, 1928, in Leeds, England, he passed away on November 22, 2007, in Johannesburg, South Africa, at age 79 from melanoma. He stood about 6'1" (185 cm) tall, with contest weights around 214–222 lbs (97–101 kg) and off-season up to 250 lbs (113 kg). Known for his massive, powerful physique (earning nicknames like "Reg the Leg"), he emphasized heavy lifting and functional strength over pure aesthetics—believing true bodybuilders should demonstrate real power, not just look big. ### Key Achievements - Won **Mr. Britain** in 1949 (his first major title). - Took **NABBA Mr. Universe** (amateur) in 1951. - Won **NABBA Mr. Universe** (pro) in 1958 and 1965—showing incredible longevity. - He was the **first bodybuilder** to officially bench press 500 lbs (on his 25th birthday). - Starred as **Hercules** in several Italian "sword-and-sandal" films in the early 1960s, including *Hercules in the Haunted World* (1961) alongside Christopher Lee. ### Legacy and Influence Park is best remembered as **Arnold Schwarzenegger's** idol and mentor. A young Arnold was inspired by Park's physique and success (including his Hercules roles), eventually training with him in South Africa and staying with his family. Arnold has credited Park for advice on symmetry (like building up his calves) and pushing him toward bodybuilding greatness. Park's emphasis on heavy compound lifts influenced the Golden Era stars. He popularized the **"Golden Six"** full-body beginner routine (focusing on basics like squats, bench, overhead press, chin-ups, barbell curls, and calf raises) and often used **5x5** heavy training protocols for size and strength. His philosophy stressed heavy barbell work (squats, deadlifts, benches) and that muscular size should pair with genuine strength—critiquing those who looked impressive but couldn't lift heavy. Reg Park bridged old-school strongman culture with modern bodybuilding, helping shift the sport toward bigger, more powerful physiques while maintaining classical proportions many still admire today. He's often seen as a timeless example of classic, achievable aesthetics compared to some modern extremes.

“so highly valued it was used as a form of currency”

Want beer, but refuse carbs, Having abs again will be worth it, The math alone on breaking no carbs isn’t worth it, especially when you need a new wardrobe

I’ve been using 45 lb weights for core, I’ve tried pushing it higher with straps so I could get to using the weight of a petite woman for my ab circuits

Eat clehn, tri haerd, ann navar givee up

Female Nature: Women are alienating (e.g., Tony Soprano's mother/sister analogies), drama-seeking, and hypergamous; modern women are "roasties" (overused/aged), obese, or BPD, making relationships hellish. BAP urges ignoring "Starbucks bathroom fuckers" (promiscuous women) and focusing on primal power dynamics that sustained traditions.

The real work and real effort in life is never fun, and after what can only be 20,000 million miles of sprints, walking and jogging on incline, up stairs, etc. it’s all I’m constantly reminded of, but, you always love the results

@primal how do I trigger a subscription purchase on iOS made with this npub that won’t show up? Can you leave help instructions

You can’t just fake your life and expect real results or real response from someone

I do like goose, there are a couple things I would change, but one shotting everything with it and grok blows my mind a lil bit (that which warp and copilot won’t do) When you realize whose out in the wild making these policies about compute networks, miners, crypto, and jailbreaking it all makes more sense in terms of the tools for the right jobs
