  There is a picture of Kovacs doing one arm dumbbell curls where his arms are so obscenely huge as to defy description. It makes Ronnie's arms at 300 lbs look the same way Labrada's arms look compared to Ronnie's. It is just obscene. I would load the picture but the board doesen't support that kind of file extension.

It's all true.

A friend of mine stayed with Greg for 1 week and witnessed him typically eat upwards of 20 000 calories per day.

He ate an obscene amount of junk food. They went to McDonalds and Greg chowed down on 40 mcNuggets, 5 Big Macs,
3 Litres of Coke and 12 apple pies, plus a tonne of Onion rings and side orders of x-large fries.

This type of binge only satisfied Kovacs for 2-3 hours, and then it would be time to eat a similar amount again.

  Greg Kovacs is the only man in the history of Homo Sapiens Sapiens as a species that could match a silverback gorilla for muscular size. Of course, the gorilla would rip both of Greg's arms and beat him to death with it, but that's a different story...

  Actually, mountain gorillas average 450 lbs and they have around 3% bodyfat when they eat their natural diet of leaves, stems, roots and occasional fruit.

  But you're right. Even Kovacs wasn't silverback gorilla big. He did weight  at this heaviest around 450 lbs, but with close to 20% bodyfat. And as you've pointed out, Kovacs is much taller, meaning that the gorilla is much bigger for it's stature. When you factor in bodyfat and height, the gorilla is much, much bigger still. As for strengh, and as super-humanly strong Kovacs was, a gorilla could rip Kovac's spinal cord from his body like if it were string cheese. A 450 lbs silverback is roughly 12 times stronger than an olympic weighlifter, and in pulling movements make that 20 times stronger. People don't understand just how powerful these creatures are. A gorilla could flip a family sedan...with a single arm.

  Kovacs had a special blender made for him with extra sharp steel cutters that allowed him to blend anything. This allowed him to bypass digestion in the stomach and go straight to assimilation in the gastro-intestinal tract. He engaged in a Yoga technique that alowed him to stretch the GI to allow far more food to be assimilated at once. His enlarged gut is not completely the result of insulin and GH use, but also of this Yoga technique.

Kovacs strikes me as the guy who did everything to the extreme

I mean I would like to see the dosages he was using...

Is 32ius of gh ED out of the question?

Was 10grams+ of  total anabolics every week used at some point?

I'm sure we would all be shocked

His mentality seems to lend itself with absolutely no concern for anything other than muscle gain/fat loss... I mean he dropped out of college to pursue a "career" in bodybuilding...

considering what it take to be a 242lbs ripped, 10 gram is possible.
The guy was 335lbs ON STAGE

I saw him at what I believe to be his last competition. Night of the Champions(Orville Burke won that night)
Greg looked so bad that after his comparison round was over, I saw him a few minutes later in the audience with a pizza. Guess he knew he had NO CHANCE of a decent placing. Felt kinda bad for the guy  :-\
Where did it all go wrong?

Palumbo talked about Kovacson nobullradio.

The guy ate a crazy amount of food. That's for sure.

18.000 wouldn't surprise me.

Kovacs strikes me as the guy who did everything to the extreme

I mean I would like to see the dosages he was using...

Is 32ius of gh ED out of the question?

Was 10grams+ of  total anabolics every week used at some point?

I'm sure we would all be shocked

His mentality seems to lend itself with absolutely no concern for anything other than muscle gain/fat loss... I mean he dropped out of college to pursue a "career" in bodybuilding...

the guy used to put a 10 ml bottle of cyp in each shoulder before for a guest posing, so i would say this is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

I remember MMI doing a report on that contest. They claimed he dropped out, like you said, really early. Their claim- that Greg apparently agreed to in later interviews- was that he had injected synthol into one or more bodyparts and the oil substance moved into his abdominal/waist area. I seem to remember another body part that looked all lumpy in addition to the previously mentioned area.
Anyhoo...

You know how the NFL has combine freaks... well palumbo was an expo freak... he attracted all the fans for his freakiness. However when he was up on stage there was not too much positive to talk about. When a guy comes on stage at 335lbs shredded thats fuccking impressive no matter which way you put it.

but check out his pro-card winning show... he looked incredible back then

None.

He simply got too much hype. They promoted him as the biggest/strongest bb'er ever.

I mean he looked like shit, but the guy at one stage was 6'2, 400lbs + (some claim as high as 440lbs). Just insane.

 There is a picture of Kovacs doing one arm dumbbell curls where his arms are so obscenely huge as to defy description. It makes Ronnie's arms at 300 lbs look the same way Labrada's arms look compared to Ronnie's. It is just obscene. I would load the picture but the board doesen't support that kind of file extension.

rename the file as .jpg you sould be able to load it.

I'm referring to how he looked at the at the NOC the night Orville Burke won. Very sad  :-\
There were NO ABS to bee seen on that night and he was too young to have gone out like that. Something was amiss. Perhaps drugs, perhaps that 18,000 calorie diet  ???
