Greg when he looked decent , I remember Musclemag fluffing him up to no end all hype .

Metric? Are you being funny? 1000kilos

Ok but if he was napping but had a medical condition known as "restless leg syndrome" he might be doing some kind of reps ;)

Dude, Kovacs could break the records in the bench, dead and squat, if he wanted to. He's got terrible genetics for bodybuilding, but he is built like a gorilla. He warms up with the weights Ronnie uses for his heavy sets. No shit.

he should join the strongman competition instead of bodybuilding where what he gets is backfire and embarrassment

Definitely! Unfortunately, Kovacs doesen't have your intelligence, so he'll never make this decision. He has many years of embarassment ahead of him. ;D :-\

I agree he could be one hell of a powwerlifter or strongman and should do that, but maybe he just loves bodybuilding more. I think he is "proof" that size without form is worse than a smaller a guy with great cuts and overall shape, etc.
If being a massive freak is wha the sport is all about he would be a top guy and of course he isn't.
-
Whats Kovacs like in person? Fairly intelligent, or just grunts and nods?
For being 4th tier, he is quite recognizable and should be more high profile.

Another pic of Greg in his " prime "
-
I'm downloading his video right now!
-
Look at him dwarfing Mustafa and Bob. :o
Even if they have more actual muscle built on their frames, Greg is still considerably larger. Bear in mind, Bob is 6'0 and 250 in this picture:
That pic seems odd because Greg is 6'1 1/2 but in that pic he looks like he is 6'6" I guess its the angle ???

Granted , Kovacs looks decent in this shot and is bigger, but who has a better PHYSIQUE in that line up ???

kovacs has freakish genetics, mass wise he is up there with anyone you will ever see. Strength wise he is/was so far ahead of the pack its silly. If he had only used his head in making a career decision he could have made a killing from using his strength and broken alot of records
-
His physique may look like garbage but he was a strong dude.
Guess you didn't see Cost of Redemtpion with Ronnie Coleman where he does more than 2300.
-
im not discrediting ronnie, and i know alot will say it was because his legs are so big etc etc, but ronnies ROM wasnt exactly stellar was it? Credit to the man for doing it though
-
No doubt Kovacs is a BIG strong guy but after Ed Coad shut him up with his power challenge I am going to cast his lift claims in the hall of urban bodybuilding legends.

I agree, bro. Kovacs strengh is just ridiculously obscene. I once saw this pic, of him, doing incline dumbbell presses with 300 lbs dumbbells. Not 200, but 300 lbs dumbbells. He did nine full reps, with that weight. Coleman, conversely, does this same exercide, for these same number of reps, with 200 lbs dumbbells. He has done eight reps, on the incline smith machine, with seven plates a side! How about military presses, with five plates a side, for ten reps?
I have seen Kovacs at 440 lbs, having a bodyfat of no more than about 12%. I've seen him, IN PERSON! do any of you guys remember when Kovacs did the Night of Champions, at 360 lbs? He was holding water, but his bodyfat was definitely in the single-digit area. Compared to Kovacs, Ronnie ain't nothing but a peanut ;D. I still remember the reaction of the crowd, when Kovacs stepped onstage, at the Night of Champions:

i had to read that 3 times just to make sure - 300lb dumbbells! Even Greg cant be that strong. Ive seen pics of him benching 765 (real?) and if i recall correctly he was inclining 725 (probably just my imagination - im confused!) as well as using 120lb dumbbells for the preacher curl. But 300lb dumbbells surpasses anything i have ever seen.
Which brings to mind kamalis claim about deadlifting 765 and using 300lb dumbbells for rows. His proof? A pic of him holding a 300lb dumbbell not far from the floor! Gimme a break you fukkin retard! Ronnie C can use a 300 for 6-8 reps ive heard though. And Milos Sarcev said is a Flex article (genuine?) the only person he has ever seen better Ronnie for power on the rows is Brock Lesnar

I hate leg presses that are structured like that. I want a straight foot platform, not two levels. I never understood why people would design a leg press like that.

Listen, dumb bitch, before you call me a retard, understand the subject you're talking about. Both Jim Schmaltz and Peter McGough confirmed that Greg inclined press those dumbbells. Does this mean Greg is a better bodybuilder than Ronnie, or even a good bodybuilder? No, he is a terrible bodybuilder. Yet, when it comes to sheere strengh, he's an invincible titan. Kovacs can take Ronnie on any exercise, except on the dead-lift, at which Ronnie and Kovacs are comparable.

Thats too hard to beleive, come on ! Inclining the 300's?? Has anyone ever even inclined 600 on the BB Bench?
I gotta call some serious bullshit on that, nothing personal though. I think u oughtta put in context the enormous hype created around Grg kovacs back in the day(or so I have read, I havent been following bb'ing for too long)

In his video he's not near 20 reps, he's doing 8 or 9 on the legpress. And I count to 10 plates per side + 6 per side over the front.
Now the video is pretty low quality, but there's no 20 reps, and there's no ton of weight there that's for sure.
After that he do machine hacksquats, 6 plates per side for 14 or 15 reps.
Also his training partner got a really annoying voice >:(

where have jim manion or peter mcgough ever stated that they saw kovacs use 300 lbs. for presses???
we all know how big kovacs is but everyone who seems him talks just as much about his gut than his size.
there are so many claims about kovacs, mostly due from muscletech about his strength, but yet they are never proven.
acutally a few years back, 2000 or 2001, ed coan challenged kovacs, despite being 100 lbs. less than him. kovacs backed out. people got tired of the claims and him not proving it. eventually, he just bc a laughing stock.
-
Apparently there are a TON of bodybuilding newbies on this board now....nobody in the history of bodybuilding ever said Greg was a good bodybuilder....he has however ALWAYS been pound for pound one of the strongest guys ever. You can all go on and on about camera tricks and Ronnies lifts....but until you saw him in the gym in person lifting the most insane weight in your life...you can't say much. And he didn't do little half reps or only do 4 reps per exercise...we're talking 5 plate inclines for like 15 to 20 reps sometimes. Hate on him all you want for how he looks now....but he would crush every single guy on this board and pretty much 90% of every pro bodybuilder there has ever been. Greg is a great guy, but unfortunetaly easily influenced by others and by trying to live up to the hype that was created...to a fault.
-

Ronnie did 2300 for 8 after squating like 800 lbs. Aint nuttin but a peanut.
Ronnie's ROM in that press is about half of what Yates does in Blood and Guts. What's Ronnie doing, about 7-8 inches? Ronnie lifts some enormous weights but his reps are nearly always partials - chest, squats, or whatever. If you don't believe me, take another look at The Cost of Redemption. If clearly works for him, but while he goes to parallel in the squat during that 800 lbs (or all the other sets), he doesn't stand up much at all. Same for the bench - he never pushes out completely, only about 50-60 per cent of the way. Evidently that keeps the pressure on the muscle in the key part of the move, but it's hardly textbook. Lou Ferrigno did the same exact thing.

Kovacs always had an awkward structure, he just seemed to be wide and huge all over. I remember looking at photos of hime from some of my old Flex magazines Muscletech adds. He was a friggin' monster, but the only time he really ever competed seriously was when he got his pro card in canada and the NOC, one time at the Arnold etc. He always looked his best not in "contest" shape, he was just gigantic. That picture of him was in some of those adds BTW and those costum made 225 lb dumbells were featured in Flex as well. Even though he looks like utter hell now, he was one of the stongest, if not the strongest pro-BB out there, no question about it.
-
i remember a pic of him in a Muscletech ad from like 6 or 7 years ago where he's sitting with his back to the camera wearing a ballcap backward and his back looked inhuman in both thickness and width.

When you are pressing a 200lbs DB you can take it down any freaking lower than Ronnie does do due the sheer size of the DB. Also, Ronnie's style of training where he never locksout is also much harder than a "normal" lift, you try it, you wear out much much faster

Not locking out is not harder than locking out, I can do more reps on the incline press 'Ronnie' Style than 'Dorian' Style (full range of motion)
Ronnie still trains like an animal in the gym!

you all like to knock dorian, but his training was spot on, every rep perfect

440 at 6'2" with average bodyfat? For being so smart you must really believe anything you read. Just think about it for a second. He was 440 like he flat benched 715 for a triple. ::)
-
There was a time Kovacs looked half decent as a bodybuilder.
Yup.....1996 to be exact...here we are now 11 years later....Show pics of him now....as for his 2200 leg press, every single pro bbdr pretty much does that. Hell, Ronnie does 2300 for 8 clean reps. JP Fux was a bull in his day too. Same with Dorian. Lots of guys threw that kind of weight around, not just Kovacs.

Kovacs sported a triangle delt for you bitches!

what about that ancient guy (70 + years) repping over 1000 like it was no problem. probably because it wasn't.
leg press poundages really are redundant. the rom varies so much and there are so many variables (how you place the feet, lever off the machine, etc) it's not even worth mentioning.
if you get good results from it, great, but forget about poundages, they don't mean shit on this thing, seriously.

it is a great exercise if you find a good machine, but the weight is pretty much irrelevant

kovacks isnt dwarving anyone in this pice he is just taller..
he outweighs them by 20 or 30 lbs..
and their arms and legs are like nearly twice the size of his...
the ony thing bigger on his phsique is his midsection..

i'm so sick of the 'bad advice' bullshit excuse.

I remember years ago while attending the MR OLYMPIA Greg walked by
nobody and i mean nobody was bigger/huge than this guy!
people had there mouths wide open in awe
whatever he looked like onstage...............in a tank-top he was friggen huge!
(at the time he has his head shaved bald which only made he look bigger/more menacing)
he was a big SOB
-
Last show I saw Greg in was the ASC, and he really was a sight to behold and not in a good way. It was actually painful to watch him, and I am not just trying to be cruel when I say many in the audience cringed when he was onstage.

so what the hell happened to him exactly? anyone got current pics or anything semi-recent?

He was signed by K1 fighting in Japan (MMA), he has a boxing background and was trained by the same guy who trained Tommy Morrison. He has a fight lined up with non other than Bob Sapp soon, details to be finalised. Expect Kovacs to be around 360-375 pounds.
