Sublime Arms in 40 Sets.
The Kevin Reeves Way

Muscular arms strike fear into the hearts of men, whilst the women can’t take their eyes off them. It doesn’t matter who they are, no-one can resist the spell of handsome arms. But the problem is that building them beyond the legendary half-metre circumference is no piece of cake. Many try, but only a few succeed.
Kevin Reeves hasn’t yet managed to become part of the elite; that is, he’s still to turn pro, but his arms are one of the finest sets around, even compared to those on the professional circuit. Not only do they stretch past that 20”mark: they also bear a clear separation between the biceps and triceps, as well as proportion to turn you green with envy.
When a man is 5’9” tall, weighs 110kg (242lbs), has a set of 20.8”arms and walks around with his head shaven, he can strike the fear of God into you. That might be the reason why Kevin has swapped his career as a personal fitness instructor for one as a professional bodyguard. If you were thinking that the only job opportunities open to a bodybuilder were those of working on a door then think again because bankers, businessmen, politicians and big names from the world of entertainment all need personal protection and, as you can imagine, they enlist the services of beefcakes like Kevin, who, besides bodybuilding, has also put in several years in the boxing ring.
However, he continues to aim for professional status as a bodybuilder and work towards that goal with his training, bettering a physique which is already sublime in itself. He’s been California State champion twice, having taken the title the last time in 2007, but he missed out on the pro card in the USA Championship. However, there’s not a doubt in my mind that he’ll secure himself one because his physique is one of the best in the business I’ve witnessed to this day.

From the Basketball Hoop to the Dumbbells
Kevin played basketball for years, a sport which he enjoyed and one at which he wasn’t a bad hand either. And it was with a view to improving his performance on the basketball court that he set foot in the weights room, although it could be said that the appeal of the weights wasn’t exactly instant, for it wasn’t until he was 22 years old that it hit him how far he could take his muscles.
