yeah kovacs was one huge bastard

Narc... do u think Greg was truly as "freaky" as they say he was? Not necessarily strength, but size in person. I hear claims obviously that he was 400+ easy? Is there any true relevant validation or are these just rumors? no "hardcore" evidence seems to be out there... just 'rumors'
-
not only was kovacs strong and a big mofo
he was also man enough to post his pic on the internet and maybe thats what i admire most about him
-
So what that he can't wipe his ass, he's huge

I was always suspect of his measurements claims like 25" arms , I know he's tall I believe 6'1" but his arms don't look that big Arnold was about the same height and his arms appeared bigger while obviously not as big as that , the strength claims are believable a lot of his moments were in the smith machine impressive none the less , it doesn't matter if his measurements were true or not bodybuilding wasn't his game his physique looked horrible
-
yea i know what u mean. No matter how much u try to make it "look good" his physique just is unpleasing to the eye. Probably the biggest freak in street clothes though

Ok, so is this the lady that used to wipe his ass?

I pissed Kovac off one year at the Arnold. It was back likw 10-11 yrs ago when it was still at the place where they hold the night show. Anyhow I got my pic with him and asked how big his arms were? He told me like 27 inches or some shit like that. And I replied hell those are almost as big a Manfred Horbel's.
Well Manfred was like 3 booths down and Greg looked down at him and then back at me with this glare in his eyes and literally started snarling like a Bull and huff'n and puff'n the Motherfukker was pissed. I looked at my dad and was like um lets get outta here I think he's pissed. We took off and about an hour later we walked back by and he seen us and just glared at us til we got past.
Hahahaha I could of got my ass beat by Kovac :)

He said 27 inches???? Or cm's?
-
I'm all most positive he said 27 inches, cause Horbels were like 27 and 1/4!!! Both of them were VERY VERY large men. I was 300 pounds plus standing next to Kovac and looked like my 12 yr old standing next to me.

Nasser looks extremely small standing next to Greg

look at the FUCKING SIZE OF THAT FREAK
Who the fucck cares how "big" he is? He won't see 50, guaranteed. Not at the size anyway.
-
Yep, he was one huge mofo from all of the pics I have seen. He makes big men look SMALL. I wonder what he is up to these days? I always thought he should give strongman a run.
-
not only was kovacs strong and a big mofo

LOL! ;D

Actually, I met the man in the 1990's and he was more in the 6'2"-6'3" region. HUGE MOFO back then. Look how he dwarfs 5'11.5" Nasser.

Kovacs lookin good later in his career

i would have told him straight - "look bitch you either get that angry look off your face or I'll knock it off."
He would soon have realised the error of his ways and apologised to the panda.

Thanks for stating that. I've been saying in this board for years that Kovacs has been as much as 440 lbs with average bodyfat and people have been calling bullshit. They just don't comprehend how ginormous this man is.

MONSTER of a man.
Fuck symetry fuck it all. Thats a pure monster.
Look at the size of his hands ;D

What pic was photoshopped?
-
Dude was/is a monster. Seems he was sort of an experiment on how big a human could get with tons of food and drugs.

His body is now atrophied do to taking drug abuse to extreme extremes. Being big is one thing, being big and looking good is another. Muscletech made him a giant lab experiment and ruined him hard.

Yeah I think he'll always be a huge dude. Still a shitty bb, but he deserves respect for achieving such size.
-
What pic was photoshopped?
The "notrealversusreal" pic, 2nd pic.
-
man thank god someone called that pic out being photoshopped. Yeah kovac a beast indeed but he doesnt have the genetics to get sliced down and look good. pretty much a huge guy on a huge test gh dose.

Yikes. Brutal truth from Pandae.

Kovacs going for the health look.
-
that's what happens when bodybuilders train for strength rather than growth.
-
Greg had ridiculous strength. I know someone who trained with him. I could tell you stories but you wouldn't believe them. the guy was a freak of nature. strong isn't even the word.

In the late ninties he looked good.
His waist was pretty tight for his size etc.
It was later on when he started to expand all over in the wrong places.

I remember OTH saying he had trained in the same gym as him. And yeah, according to OTH, he was insanely strong. Far stronger than Coleman apparently.

He would shot some synthol on a Friday so his arms looked bigger at Film lounge (club) Saturday.

he looked huge in the gym but horrible onstage,he was a monster though,big strong guy.RIP

Went to the cardiologist recently for some exams and told him i have used steroids in the past and he didn't seem to care much about it. He was all about: "do you smoke?", "have you ever smoked?", "just don't start smoking and you will be fine"

That's all relative, maybe someone doesn't smoke, but let's be honest here, if you're doing a gram or two or 6 of juice a week it's going to shorten your life.

Why am I not surprised ? Damn !! Was told that Greg was a VERY insecure guy. :/

There's the steroids, other drugs and ridiculous consumption of food combined with strenuous exercise to consider with Kovacs

I was at that show... Was just sad
-
I have a photo of Gregg and I at a party, I'd have to dig it up but I'm 6'3 and had Gregg by two inches. His arms were the size of my head...never saw arms that big on a person. He seemed like a grumpy guy the times I was around him.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Kovacs finally died, he looked like Munzer.

so abt Greg. I think fortress/OTH can validate a lot of this.
he was insanely strong. he'd set up 405+ in the squat rack w a seated bench and do his military presses like that. hed unrack it. sit down. do his set. stand back up and re rack it. he routinely worked w 6-7 plates a side for incline work in the smith machine. his shoulders and chest were beyond belief strong.
before he became known there was a powerlifting expo at a bbing show in niagara he was at. they were maxing out to one rep on their bench press to over 5 plates. when they had maxed out Greg came out of the audience in jeans workboots and a flannel shirt got under it and repped it out for mid teens reps. he got up and simply walked out after.
he was a victim of not knowing how big he was. x mentioned he used synthol. I know he used to put 10ml of cyp in each shoulder before a guest posing.
ya it's def not healthy to carry around 400+ lbs but a lot of Greg's passing had a lot w his wife's managing of him. she was relentless in booking him for shows expos and whatnot so she basically ran the him into the ground cause those appearances and needing to be 'him' meant the doses that went with it.
there was a lot of talk abt his mental state before his passing. gossip and rumours of a suicide attempt. he cut his wrist on a broken pane of glass at work.
I've stood beside ronnie and jay cutler. ronnie is in a class by himself btw. but when it came to sheer physical size I have never seen a human as wide as Greg kovacs was. he was immense.
it's a shame cause from someone closest to him I got painted a picture of a guy who was one of the nicest guys you could ever hoped to have met but who was trapped in his own body which caused him also much unhappiness as well.
-
Kovacs competed 5 times as a pro. In all 5 shows, he basically placed in tie for last place.
All the steroids he took... All ego & vanity.
What a waste of life.

Thanks for sharing this, man. Only met Greg once and, unfortunately, that was at the Arnold Classic where he competed back in '04 ( ?? ). Looked absolutely terrible. I remember thinking that he, quite literally, looked like death. And I'm not trying to be funny here. Am quite serious. Was standing about 10 feet from him.
On a more positive note, Markus Ruhl was standing next to him with his signature jean jacket on that he use to wear back in the day. Looked HUMONGOUS !! Shoulders looked like he had stuffed 2 basketballs under his jacket. Lol.
