How the hell did he become this??? He used to be so massive, in comparison to his old pics. Seriously how does this happen, is it from drug abuse?
-
I prefer those pics where he looks like a burnt corpse
-
devolution. :-\
-
He couldn't stop binge eating..the guy literally looked pregnant in person, I ran into him about 5-6 times at a supermarket over the period of 3 years and knew him from partying/clubs, he could never get rid of that pregnant look even when he was under 7% bf.

But why did his arms and legs and cheat shrink? His triceps are non exisitent.

Palumboism 101; the torso gradually become bigger and organs grow and expand, the limbs seem to stop growing and shrink/shrivel up...we've seen it on a ton of guys... palumbo, kovacs, kamali , etc.
-
Palumboism is real but its beyond my comprehension, I just dont get it.

I don't get why it shrinks your limbs (looks almost like paralysis) and expands your torso (causes major organ growth) so the guts and everything around them (heart, kidneys, liver, etc) just all push outwards.

i think what they should do when that happen,, stop all drugs, get on clen and t3 and 1500 calorie diet until they are nothing, take a year break no training no 7k diet no drugs... then start all over, TOTAL REBUILD :o

The damage is already done. To my knowledge once your ogans grow like that they wont shrink, someone please correct me if Im wrong.

look at the pics his gut is going out from the side and everywhere,, drugs may make organs grow but i think not that much.. i think palumboism is due to.. you know when you eat like a pig and you feel fucking bloated with your stomach going out? these guys have that feeling months and months non stop when growing and eating like 8k calories per day, so their body get used to that and adapt to it ie: big gut for alot of food.. i think THATS what causing the big gut we see today.. not gh.. because if organs inside would get so big that it expend the waist, they would have way worse health problems than having a big waist,, my 2cents
-
They do have worse problems than just a big waist...

If anyone knows how to get in-touch with Greg, please PM me. I'm hoping to have him on OFF TOPIC Radio as a guest...

Nah, palumbo has always stayed pretty lean, he is the archetype of the syndrome. It isn't from overeating

Diabetics are the only people who should use insulin.
Just sayin'...

He was something like 385 in these pictures. Say what you will about him compared to his previous showings, but he was absolutely huge in the above photograph. In the photos below, put next to Gunter and it is almost as if he is making 265 pound Gunter look as if he doesn't even work out. :o

It's not the food. Many fat kunts have been way bigger then pro bodybuilders and lost weight and ended up thin with no gut.

Where's that pic from his last show where he's just standing relaxed? There you see what a mess he has become.

It's so special that Palumbo will always be remembered with such a great impact on bodybuilding.
Can't wait for "Romanoism"

I don't appreciate Kovacs disrespect... he redefined mass... to speak any less of him is absolute crass

Um, no. We have all seen bodybuilders age and/or strain while flexing. This is something different. The shape of his face/skull has changed dramatically and not for the better. :-[
Compare...

kovacs destoryed his own body, inside out

Do schmoes even want him anymore? When the schmoes don't want you, it's all over. :'(

Honestly, looking at these photos my first response is WTF! But as I am going through the thread and come to this picture where he basically looks like an old fat guy and you wouldnt ever know he lifted, I feel sorry for the guy. Yeah I know he did it to himself but he just looks like one sad dude. He probably isnt feelin to hot on a day to day basis either. Livin the dream baby!

Which means nothing. Btw, define "better", because to 99% of hot women, he would have been far to muscular and ugly in the face. Newsflash, women don't like freaks like Kovacs and Coleman. They like athletically muscular men. If women like big, freaky, bodybuilders, you'd see them being pursued by women or winning awards like "the sexiest man alive". Stop being delusional.
Look at this "twink". You put a picture of this guy next to any bodybuilder that ever lived, and you ask 100 hot women to choose; 99 of them would choose the the "twink". Thats the truth, and guys like Kovacs screwing up their health for nothing is sad.

whats sad about kovacks.. is muscle mag(96-99) pimped the hell out of him due to muscle tech.. i always thought as a 16yr old "wow this guy is huge" now he looks like complete garbage that has been shitten on.. poor guy deserves better then suicide.
-
Greg Kovaks should cancel his gym membership and never look back. He should also probably go vegan and stay far away from excessive amounts of protein...that is, if he wants to live to see 50.

A friend of mine wasn't aware that he was gay until he was about 20. I suppose he knew but didn't acknowledge it due to social norms.

I also know for a fact that he's wearing combat boots in the pic. I don't know if that adds anything to the fantasy. Just saying.

he said he will make a comeback next year. so lets wait and see.

Any confirmations that he was that strong. I remember the MuscleMag articles blowing up his spot saying 585 incines , 800lbs squats , 500lbs behind neck press. And those were all for weight for reps.Chris Cormier called bullshit on alot of it.

But what the hell happened to Greg? ???
He looked pretty good in the past. He did his pro debut at the 1997 Night Of The Champions, he looked quite good, spilled over and did not place. Then he said that next year he will be in good shape...in '98 he placed 16th at the Ironman...
Then he took 2 years off then came back to the Night Of Champions again in 2001 and did not place again, not even finished the prejudging as I know. And he looked much worse than in the years before.
Then he took 2 years off again and came back at the 2004 Arnold. He was in very good shape and still looked like a nightmare...really-really bad.
Anyway he did the 2005 Toronto Pro too...and he did not place.
What the fuck happened to him? And did he have any sponsors? How he made money? Why he didn't compete more regularly?
I can't understand.

He was sponsored by Muscletech. They launched the original Muscletch stack with his ads. He was picked up briefly by another company after that. I think the ads only ran for a few months.
From what I was told by a guy who brought him out for a seminar and knew some of the same people, it sounds like he did everything in excess. Huge amounts of food and drugs. Barely moved when he wasn't in the gym (his wife pretty much did everything for him).

I knew him personally when he lived in Toronto, through Henderson (Thorne) and other friends, you described him to a T, he hated competing as well that's why he didn't do it more often, he only competed when the dude who started muscletech got on his ass other then that he was happy as a pig in shit, getting $200,000 from muscletech every year + more for seminar's and posing appearances, he overdid it with the growth and insulin.

He may die young, but he will die knowing he looked better then 99.99999% of everyone else at one point.
quite an achievement isnt it ::)

The story on here was that he was crying backstage begging to not have to go out there as that burn victim freak and the supp company forced him under threat of legal action.
Not sure if true but it's a great story and his face is hilarious in the pics

Kovacs = great Hungarian genetics
Namat looks better, though

The guy who founded and owns muscletech WAS a musclemag (store) employee, he ripped off the formala to Ripped Fuel and started selling it on his own as the original hydroxycut (back when ephedrine was legal) I forget his name Paul or John Gardiner, he was in the very first few muscletech/hydroxycut ads... lo and behold many years later, musclemag is almost out of business and going under (barely any stores left) and Muscletech is the main sponsor at the Olympia... Kovacs met Gardiner at a musclemag store, he was one of his first main endorsers you could say, thus Gardiner remained loyal to Kovacs when he blew up with muscletech and took Kovacs along for the ride keeping him under his wing and using him to market a ton of product over the years.. this all happened literally 10 minutes from where I live, LOL... Greg's old house is like 7 minutes from my place.

Did you see the piece Hard Copy did on Muscle Tech supplements around 2000? They tested Muscle Tech products and found they nowhere near matched what the labels claimed. GNC said they were pulling all their products and then the whole thing just seemed to disappear.

So you're saying that even after seeing this intimidating 6'2 400+ pound Caucasoid mountain of muscle in person, you still think the 5'11 GSP would be able to take him down?

I've seen Greg at the gym, Gold's in Mississauga (in Greater Toronto area) the man couldn't walk 4 paces without stopping for air and turning purple, he looked like a walking heart attack... I will even go as far to say that all GSP would have to do is blow air at him and Kovacs would have toppled or had cardiac arrest in the cage. It was almost laughable, the guy didn't even take the 45's off the bar, his wife did that for him.

So you really don't feel Greg's size would be any advantage at all?

Dude, the guy couldn't walk 3 paces without keeling over like he was going into cardiac arrest, have you seen the cardio required for an MMA bout? even one 5 minute round, Kovacs wouldn't last 15 seconds before collapsing.

I will even go as far to say that all GSP would have to do is blow air at him and Kovacs would have toppled or had cardiac arrest in the cage. It was almost laughable, the guy didn't even take the 45's off the bar, his wife did that for him.
so he couldn't take the 45s off the bar, but he could lift them?

He could, he was just too lazy and would probably get out of breath if he had to stand up, walk 2 feet to the end of the bar, pull the 45 off and go back... he was a walking heart attack, esp. towards the end of his career when he really ramped up the growth and insulin.
-
So you really don't feel Greg's size would be any advantage at all?
there is a point when the extra size is too much and will work against you.
-
I thought maybe Greg could win due to his size and strength advantage but I guess I was wrong.
he would punch then move, punch move punch move etc, and Greg wouldnt know what hit him.

LOL in that vid bay posted he claims to of benched 425lbs 19 times and behind the neck pressed 405 for 6 - 8 reps and all at the age of 19 ::)

everyday folks who are not in the "loop" will actually believe him because of his built. But we know better.....not many men in this world can do it.
-
He may die young, but he will die knowing he looked better then 99.99999% of everyone else at one point.
However, 99.999999% of women who watched him during that time would look at him and say "gross" .
-
But what the hell happened to Greg? ???
What the fuck happened to him?
I can't understand.
A massive combination of Vanity and Irresponsibility.
-
He destroyed himself for us bitches.
-
Is this true, in particular the bit in bold?
It's business as usual at the gym. A symphony of humming pulleys, clanging iron plates, the grunting of uber-men taxing their muscles beyond the limit, the raucous laughter between men. Then! A hush falls over this din, as HE muscle-walks into the room. Jaws drop and FISHY smelling pussies moisten. It's Greg Kovacs...and he's back!
-
I am always amazed by this picture. His obliques are fucking enormous. Savage figure-8 taper.
-
-
There were black and whites side by side pictures of the 2004 arnold in musclemags and Kovacs owned a lot of guys in the back double bi from what I remember from the pics.
Also, had Bob Chick been in better condition he would have placed very well in that show

Greg may not have been very competitive as a pro, but he must have been a sight to behold in person. From the 2004 Arnold:

I'm telling you guys, in person him and Scott Milne weren't human looking... it's one thing to be jacked up to 250 and 5'8 but a WHOLE other game when you're 6"3 and 325...human walls, just monstrous looking.

And you still think GSP could beat him? ;D Do you think GSP could take both Greg and Scott at the same time in the cage? :o
PS - the dude next to Greg is probably 5'10 and 200, not exactly a small man by normal standards, but looks like a tiny tit next to Greg:

Man, you keep missing the point I am making...Kovacs couldn't walk 10 feet without collapsing in a heap and struggling to get oxygen into his system... how do you expect him (even with his colossal size) to go up against a pro fighter that's conditioned to fight 3-5 5 minute rounds ?!?! GSP would literally be dancing around Kovacs just hitting him, if he get behind him Kovacs is so wide it would take him 10 seconds to turn around, by that time GSP would have an anaconda or rear naked choke on him.
strength and size doesn't mean shit if you're not able to use it.

In Jiu-Jitsu they call the rear naked choke mata leon which literally means lion kill, i.e., that if the choke is done correctly you can put out a lion. Also, when a lion kills it's prey it doesn't tear it apart but locks on to the neck until it's prey is unconscious or goes down so the others can tear it apart. Of course putting a lion to sleep is a bit of an embellishment but the point is that no matter how big you are you still have to breath. I saw a video where a 13 year old boy was fighting a full grown man much larger than himself and the boy got to the man's back (piggy back style) and choked him unconscious using the mata leon.
GSP , BJ Penn, scrawny Ken Florian, and any decent purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu will easily choke that giant mess Kovacs unconscious with a minimal of effort.
Watch the first episode of TUF on the net where they feature the heavy weights. Watch the first fight. These are big guys who are actually train in MMA. Watch what happens when they gas, which happens very quickly. All that muscle means nothing. It's almost embarrassing to watch. These big guys talking tough before their fight bent over resting their hands on their knees on national TV sucking wind having loss their will to continue and just want the clock to run out.
Being big and strong does not translate into fighting ability. Just like being in great condition does not mean you can fight. Fighting is a skill. Strength and stamina are a physical attributes. They certainly complement any athlete but in and of themselves are insufficient in being a good fighter.
Kovacs vs. GSP: Kovacs gases half way through a punch. Falls to the ground gasping for air. A confused and bewildered GSP looks to the ref for direction. The ref calls an end to the bout and the GSP camp ambles out looking around somewhat perplexed and puzzled by what just happened. A medical crew has now surrounded a still prone Kovacs administering oxygen and wondering how they are going to hoist this grotesque mass of flesh out of the cage.

Do schmoes even want him anymore? When the schmoes don't want you, it's all over. :'(
