In that offseason pic with jeans he may very well be 290lb. I'd even say - easily. He looks tank in these pics, and looking tank at his height is usualy when you are around 280-290mark.
 He's obviously lighter in current precontest pics.

I don't know about you but I don't think old bodybuilders should be trying to regain what they once had by trying to be as big as they once were. I just can't imagine that being healthy.

You honestly think that picture represents a guy weighing 290? Look at his face. Not even close to that weight. I'm guessing 255 tops. When you see Gary in person, he does look incrediable. But he doesn't have that Nassar/Cutler/Dillet width that is jaw dropping in person. He has hints of the 3D effect but you need the 3D glasses to see it. Guys like Nassar/Cutler don't need the glasses to see the freakness.

I dont' think he's 290, but i'm sure hes atleast 260.  When your that tall, pics are very deceiving.  I'm 6'2 and when I'm down to 260 I'm diced up and not even that big.

I know what you mean, but he has a "freak" factor going def. And my reason of believeing he's around 290 in that pic - I've seen quite a few guys of that height at that weight during offseason and they looked of a very similar size. He wouldn't look much smaller next to Freeman if they'd stand side by side (or so I think) so it's believeable. 290lb sounds A LOT, but at 6ft+ it becomes relative.

He had been an out-of-shape longhaul trucker for most of his life. My guess is that he was already extremely unhealthy prior to beginning his bodybuilding career, which was VERY late in the game.

Since I was also in the trucking industry, we used to talk (via email) quite a lot. I still have emails from him.

Very sad, but he was a day late and a dollar short.

He started working out around 35 years old. He competed within a year or so after he started. Pretty nuts.

That's impressive. Dude must've went full throttle on everything. He paid with his life, but I'm sure he wanted it bad enough to take that risk.

It's not inconceivable to look like that at 51. It's really not that old.

Probably. It doesn't take your whole life to build a solid muscle base. Allow 5-10 years and then you're still only 45.

In some ways, you may look better in your 50's if you start late.  You won't have any training injuries from years of heavy training and your receptors won't be burned out from years of hormone use.  Of course, this is assuming you're not a complete fat ass when you start at 35.

You could be right here. Guy like Gaspari started really young and was burned out completely well before 40...

He says he is on FB, of course, that means nothing. This whole show is a bit of a gamble. Half of the billed athletes haven't confirmed, and Jarka STILL hasn't sent out the tickets.

i only ask as i got an email from "him" stating the flooding conditions had derailed his prep .

but if he's doing it ... this is great news !!!

actually 131 kg = about 290 lbs.  i have a hard time believing that.

And if he would have some decent lats his weight would be 150kg/330lb. But he don't have any. No lat spread at all. How you can compete with so big flaw? If he would have lat spread like Haney or Kai Greene, he could win something. From front he look like any other top five pro, but from behind he look like some amateur.
