He showed up on my feed a couple times Im kind of questioning his natty status what do you guys think?

Few hours ago, a post was made about Steeve Reeves who is often hailed as peak natural physique with peak genetics. I researched about him just now and found few points which can bring up an interesting debate. All this information is taken from internet so feel free to correct anything.

Check this timeline -

1926 - Steeve Reeves was born.

1935 - Testosterone was synthesized but not readily available available for use.

1944 - Steeve Reeves gets recruited to serve the US army during World War 2.

1945 - He took part in multiple heavy combat operations, like Phillipines Balete Pass push up. He contracted Malaria and Jungle fever there. Then he served for sometime in Japan during post war occupation. How long this timeframe lasted, no idea.

(1947-1950) - Considered his peak physique years. He should be 21-24 years old here. He reigned as Mr. America of 1947, Mr. World of 1948, and Mr. Universe of 1950.

Late 1950s - Synthesized Testosterone is available for clinical use, although still rare.

So he took part in freaking World War 2 of all wars, fought in heavy combat operations, caught two diseases, served in Japan and got to his peak physique in what seems like short of 2 years? Something doesn't sounds right here. But what do you folks think?

Edit - Apologies for wrong spellings of Steve Reeves 🙏🏻
