1	Reg was a dear friend, an extraordinary mentor and a personal hero. Other than my parents, there may be no single person who had more to do with me becoming the person I am today than Reg. He was like a second father to me. It was Reg who impressed upon me how hard I would have to work if I wanted to achieve my dreams. I'll always remember him making me do calf-raises with 1,000 pounds at 5 o'clock in the morning. --Arnold Schwarzenegger, regarding Park's influence

#	Fact
1	Personal fitness trainer in South Africa [2001]
2	Park was the first bodybuilder to bench press 500 lbs, and the second man in history to succeed with that weight. He achieved the lift on his 25th birthday, just 10 days after Canadian Olympic Weightlifter Doug Hepburn became the first to Bench Press 500 pounds on May 28, 1953. Hepburn outweighed Park by 60 pounds.
3	At age 42, he competed against Arnold Schwarzenegger in a 1970 body-building contest and was edged out in a closely fought contest - losing the Mr. Universe title to Schwarzenegger by only 1/2 a point. In his last physique competition Park once again placed 2nd at the 1973 Mr. Universe at age 45. Park always maintained that he trained and competed steroid free.
4	He was the only British bodybuilder to become a star in the Italian made sword and sandal/mythological muscleman movies that became a popular genre from the late 1950s into the mid 1960s.
5	Not only massively built but incredibly strong, Park often demonstrated his strength in public promotions, lifting up the back of cars, among other feats.
6	On October 22, 1952, he married the beautiful Mareon Isaacs, the sister of bodybuilder star and commercial film technician Johnny Isaacs. The powerfully built Isaacs almost won the Mr. Universe title himself in 1953 and competed into the early 1960s winning several prestigious titles.
7	He was Arnold Schwarzenegger''s bodybuilding inspiration. Arnold trained with him in the late 60s and actually lived with him and his family for a time in their home in South Africa. It was he who urged Arnold into taking the Hercules in New York (1970) film role as a money-making proposition.
8	His wife, whom he married in 1952, was a former ballerina from South Africa.
9	In later years he served as a contributor to a muscle magazine and judged competitions.
10	His father, Reginald Park, owned a gymnasium and barbell company and followed his father into competition.
11	Father of environmentalist and tree-planter Jeunesse Park (born 1954) and Montreal Olympics swimmer Jon-Jon Park (born 1957).
12	Mr. Universe in 1951, 1958 and 1965.
