Jeff King Interview (Neckzilla)
« on: December 04, 2009, 07:02:40 AM »
http://www.rxmuscle.com/articles/latest-news/1014-unrealized-potential-before-quadzilla-there-was-jeff-king.html

Since pictures of neck get posted around here often lol, i thought it may be interesting to some. It looks like he took the right decision and got out of bodybuilding for a real job before it was too late, very wise move.

lol @ neck muscles being so big his adams apple dosen't stick out

Jeff King is another bodybuilder who has a thread about him pop up from time to time, along with threads on Victor Richards and Orville Burke as well as some others who are somewhat mysterious in that knowledge about them is a little scarce.

I believe Wes has been in contact with Jeff sometime in the past four years and has said that Jeff was in the process of earning a Ph.D.

If I could choose, I would rather have the MR. America title over any other title, even the Olympia. Has a more positive image and connotation than the others. It has an old school sensibility to it combined with old world masculinity and wholesomeness.

I'd like to see that

I was a senior in high school in 83/84 and remember Jeff King and Bob Paris were the top guys that year and both were about the same age 22 or 23 so of course I assumed I would look like them when I was 22 or 23.

Yes.  I could be wrong but I believe his year of birth is 1961, making him 48 years old at the moment.

He had a great physique on or off a bodybuilding stage.  Could you imagine walking around looking like that?  Around 5'11 and 230.
