neck tumor
Nah, just a muscular neck. :)
-
One of the 1st to use Horse steroids.He looked very good back as a Junior.
-
all neck
-
doesn't even compare to Mower's neck in his prime.
-
He is now about 190-200 pounds, bicycles, and is a physical therapist.
-
So he is Healthy. ;D
-
what kinda of excercises did he do to get that neck? ??? he looks like a pez dispenser
-
Synthol
-
Synthol
in his neck? thats gotta be dangerous as hell
-
None of those suppositions.
He just had a big ass neck, and, unlike most all bb's, used heavy-duty neck machines and exercises and treated his neck as a priority
-
moose,
do you think that helped him in any comp.
honestly, i dont see how it could have. he has a great physique, but that neck is so distracting
-
Exactly, airosol...I don't think it helped or hurt him. Maybe it was, indeed, distracting to the judges somewhat.

strong work with the facts moose!!! hope you continue to get well, and keep your ass in the gym, cardio or whatever. stay in the gym!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Thanks, roc.
And yes, I simply cannot wait to get back to the iron...50% weights, 50% cardio.
I am so skinny fat from not training for over 6 months I almost cannot look at myself...but...I will be back!
-
ahhh the annual Jeff King thread.
-
maybe he had a fear from a young age of having his head get cut off, so he compulsively made his neck as thick as he could
-
used to compete with him,he was a great guy back than (in the 80s)
-
He is now about 190-200 pounds, bicycles, and is a physical therapist.
He came into Gold's San Diego back around 89 or so, and he was so small no one recognized him. It was only after one of the desk guys told us he was Jeff King that we noticed him. He was not 190#, 180# max.
Very small. But looked good.
-
when was that big neck pic taken?
-
Nah, just a muscular neck. :)
id rather have a chicken neck than that.

So, he was short, then?

He's into acting now. He's the guy who spit that shit all over Newman's face in Jurassic Park.

Jeff had a problem 'rolling' his traps up during a most muscular...so he decided instead of having a most muscular with no traps, hed at least have a giant neck......and jeffs MM's were iconic during the 80's.....
-
Hahahaha that pic has me fuckin rollin on the floor.
ALL NECK!!!!

No, he was not short....cant recall how tall, maybe 5'10.......
-
Matt Dufresne posted on the mayhem board about Jeff. He is a cop in western Massachusetts as well as a physical therapist.
When I was going into the newsstands and seeing the magazines on the shelves the guys on the covers were Jeff, Tom Platz, and Lee Haney.
-
Jeff still trains and weighs about 190-200 pounds these days.
Used to work his neck 3 times a week on a Nautilus 4-Way Neck Machine.

Nautilus 4-Way Neck Machine-One of the worst piecs of equipment Nautilus every put out, along with the Duo-Hip and Duo-Squat machines.
-
I always liked the Nautilus Leg Extension,and the neck machine.......I still use the neck machine at my current gym.

if your not into collegiate style wrestling or free style or greco roman or any variation then WHY the hell train neck?

Pretty sure he never trained his neck.
It's a genetic thing.

He trained his neck..............I worked out in the same gym as him for years.

How much could King squat?? Weights reps and sets. Whole routine if you remember it.
It would have been cool to put Jeff King up against Matt Mendenhall, Shawn Ray, Mike Christian and some of the other top guys from the 80's.
Jeff King should have been competing against the best, and the AAU and NABBA were not the best by a long shot.
Even though he won the Mr. A. 25 years ago-I think that 1983 Mr. A. physique could win National shows today in the NPC, and do well in the IFBB.
-

Yes Tim...trained neck hard.
I had the misfortune (competitively) yet honor of standing next to him in comp as a teen...and we were both 5'11".

I'm guessing that half of you pieces of rat shit haven't even heard of Jeff. I would like to see most of you killed with an axe.

You're NOT Seth Putnam.
-
you have a bunch of 80s guys who never realized their potential (atleast not competition wise); jeff king is definately one of those. same thing goes for rory leidelmeyer + several others.
i think jeff king got tired of all the political bs that surrounded bodybuilding.
some of these guys would have given haney a run for his money. (and gaspari would never have been in top 3)
-
Here`s a pic of King that my buddy took in the gym back ion the 80`s.

gaspari never had the structure to compete with that.
-
King was strong but didn`rt train mega-heavy,but his form was impeccable.
Don`t know what his max squat was but he`d do reps with 450 or more ass to the grass.
when he walked you could see all kinds of fibers jumping like crazy in his calves which were awesome.
Jeff went to Weider,Weider told Jeff that to compete in the IFBB he would have to win the Nationals and the Universe.
King said he already won the AAU and NABBA versions of each contest,so that was it as far as a contract with Weider was concerned.
Jeff refused to do these shows as he felt he had already proven himsealf as a top bodybuilder.
-

No,I think King could have been the best on the planet if he was given the chance.
-

top 3 at the olympia for sure.
rory should have been up there too..and a few other guys.
not including meeko as i never liked his structure and he had a wide waist.

thats the official version, i suspect weider wanted more. :D
-
Rory was the shit.............I can` see how some of these guys never made it further.
Matt Mendenhal is another example.

Rory never won because he never brought this conditioning to a stage-always came in out of shape.
If he had EVER set foot on a national stage in this condition he would be a pro.

Yes Tim
I recall about the time he won the AAU America...there was a photo and caption of him in the NY Daily News....slinging plaudits of how he was good looking enough for a movie career...and this was mainstream media
-

It was said mendehall let women get in the way of his success
-

No current pics but a buddy of mine is gonna` do an article on King for a mag.
I`ll let you guys know if he ever gets it going.

If you see, or contact King, let him know we want some pics...... BTW, Tim Belhap had the same problem as King, at the same time.
In the 80's you have to win the Universe/World Championships to become a pro-not just Nationals (or other shows like the USA later on).
Belknap won the America (in 81, last year for that name), but lost at the Universe, came in second, could not go pro. To go to the Universe in 82 he again had to win his weight class at Nationals (but could not be given the title, only the Universe spot earned from the weight class win), he came in second that year at Nationals, no Universe spot or Pro card. Repeated this in 83 and he said fuck it and went the NABBA route.
Eventually the IFBB let him in.
So King was not the only person gettig dicked around-as evidenced by Belknap.
-
I hear ya` on Belknap and I`ll let you know if I can get any unseen pics of Jeff,current or otherwise.
-
when was that big neck pic taken?
I think he is related to Henry big neck Rollins of punk rock fame.
Jeff was Mr America when the title meant something .
He stuck with NABBA and never really got into the NPC/IFBB organization?
Same with Joe Meeko, another incredible physique from that time period.
-

I disagree. I think he did bring it one year but was VERY, VERY unlucky as he ran into none other than Bob Paris.

If my information is correct, Jeff is 5'10.5". 180 at that height would be impressive if it was a lean 180. I had heard before about him being seen by people in the late eighties (1987 I believe) being a shell of his former self.
-

exactly, was just gonna post the same thing. he actually did nail it once. (also think he looks better than paris in those pics)
also rory double fucked his diets...: he was huge in the offseason but lost tons of muscle when dieting+ he didnt come in ripped enough. ("i benched 525 at 181" doesnt agree tho ::) )

Presently is around 190-200 pounds in good shape.
Nothing like when he competed but he`s in his 40`s now and still trains to keep fit.

I was the one that spotted King in 88 or so, at Gold's San Diego when he was on vacation, and he was nothing. 180-190# max, and did not recognize him, was told by the front desk who he was, and I was shocked.

The year Rory and Bob Paris competed at Nationals (83-San Jose) he looked great-BUT, I do not think he looked as good as in the pic I posted-he never looked that good on stage, but 83 is close.
And who ever said he ran into Paris was correct. Paris was unbeatable-Berry DeMay found that out later on at the Universe.
Rory actually trained Paris when Paris moved out to the west coast (OC) from Indiana. Would make Paris bulk up to insane obese weights and Paris said fuck this shit, and left Rory and his training advice.

back in the 80s they overdid everything (almost). dieting, training (volume).
motherfuckers would have been just as good doing 3-6 working sets per muscle group 2 times per week or every fifth day. (on for example an upper/lower split)

If you caught Rory on NBR ( they have fantastic guests ) you heard him say a producer paid $35,000 to the NPC ( The Beef thinks it was NPC ) to deal with legal costs incurred in a suit and in exchange they gave Bob the win.
Rory was not that hard from the back that year.

Bob Paris deserved the win but it was close. If you look at the pics it was natural structure that gives it to Bob. His waist is smaller yet his shoulders are also wider than Rory's. They were close but Bob's natural structure put him ahead of Rory.
I didn't hear the story though; are you saying that the promoter paid $35K because Bob won or that he had to pay that AND give Bob the victory? For what reason?

Rory talked ALL KINDS of bullshit excuses during that interview.
All Rory did was rag on how everyone was gifted their titles while he was screwed. He came across like a little whiny bitch.
Rory never won a national show because he never came in his best condition-not even 83 against Bob Paris.

Rory said in the interview Bob told him before the contest that a promoter that he was involved with paid to insure teh victory. Yes, Bob was in shape and the win was a good one.

Yes Rory did lack conditioning and he was saying soem crazy things. I like the one about Matt Mendenhall being on the lamb to avoid child molestation ( or porn The Beef forgets) charges.

Reminds me of the first time I hit Gold's Venice (82), right after Mike Christian won the Cal, and Mike was in there doing 405# reps on inclines (as was his partner), and then they went to BP and hit 495# reps. I was like WTF is in the water at this place ;D
