Bigger than Ramy, Gunter and Markus!
He needs to go to Dubai and hire Aceto to double his mass and conditioning. :P
It seems that other gold's gym's members have never seen a monster like this before.

Natty of peace...

From what it looks like, like a lot of big dudes, he is a "front" bodybuilder. He has a wide back, but his detail seemingly is lacking. Big mofo nonetheless.

Freak monster belgian blue

Narrower than Heath

Dead by 35. He'll be like that WSM Johnny Perry from ten years or so. Dude was massive and dropped dead at 27.
-
Crazy huge, does he compete?
-
I'm not impressed. He can barely move. Shit form too.
-
I don't think that he will place well in IFBB contests.
-
Shredded
::)
-
Lol awkward as shit with a bunch of non gym goers clapping for you
Watch after the first set they show him almost passing out due to his lack of sugar so they give him a squeezey packet of glucose. Boy must be on lots of slin
-
I dont want to know what amounts he's on. That's just crazy. Dude clearly doesn't care how long he lives. Oh well..
-
as i get older n ot that old
it baffles me why someone would even want to be this big, he is clearly wore out after only one super set.
imagine laboring that kind of weight around all day .
-
Big fella for sure but he is neither 350lbs nor shredded.
Still... impressive enough
-

bwa ha ha i watched that, hell you can see the site injections all over his arms
-
He certainly seems to have the hang of the 'arm near the camera' pose...
-
He shouldn't waste his time with entering shows. Perfect for Hollywood bad guy/ henchman characters.

u got that right bro.
imagine how much this beast eats and shits per day- i bet he goes through a couple of toilets a year alone in his house

Yeah, you can just imagine how difficult and unpractical life must be being that size. Dude probably finds walking up a small flight of stairs a rigorous cardio workout. His entire life must consist of just eating, training and injecting. :-\
-
hell yeah ted he was winded after a super set,
i doubt he could even run a mile
-
Kovacs 2.0
-
Not really impressed - with some more
kill willpower he could easily go up to 370 and after that it's just a question of time until he powers through the magic 400lb barrier.
Hope he has some money left for a nice coffin with a cool Muscletech/"One Day You May" hybrid-logo.

I bet just wiping his giant ass is a task
-
It's Too bad that he has a French accent.
Americans fear foreigners so this will actually help him.
-

That would add to it. Think about a European (French) Henchman. Dude could be in a James Bond film or in the next XxX film.
-

He could use the Kovacs method..?
-
i think your right taffin

He can capitalize on the good-will void that Andre the Giant (PBUH) left behind.

Looks like a chemical experiment and probably eats enough food to feed a small village. Being huge like that doesn't mean dick and accomplishes nothing other than wasting food. On a side note that old man probably shouldn't be the one spotting.
-
tennis ballz you got that right , what kind of quality of life is that
his whole day revolves around eating, shitting, going to the gym for 40 minutes, site injections
hell he can barely move

Greg was 350lbs, tall, super strong and made others look tiny (including other bbs and strongmen).
This dude is 350lbs, tall, super strong and makes others look tiny (including other bbs and strongmen).
That's the comparison LOL!! ::)
-
A very obvious user of much much synthol and not only in the arms either...Wouldn't place well if fedaraov cannot place well
-
Dead by yesterday.
-
French genetics of peace. Dead by 40.
But putting on that much mass for his height is pretty impressive. I wonder what kind of mexican supplements he takes.
-

Gut protruding more than the chest. Going for the contemporary BB look...

Disgusting
-
Ronnie and dorian looked both bigger in their training vids
-
He forgot to work his chest

"Shredded" ::)

What a chemical beast.
His sheer size is staggering. Strong guy, too. But then again, how could you not be, using so much shit?
-

This^^^ It's entering shows that will be the death of him. And his kidneys...
-
do you think this beast could run a mile or more
-
I dont want to know what amounts he's on. That's just crazy. Dude clearly doesn't care how long he lives. Oh well..
You just don't get it !!!
Is not about how long you live but how big you die !!! ;)
-
do you think this beast could run a mile or more
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUN a mile? He'd be lucky to walk a mile at even a slow pace.
That said, we just saw him bench 200 kilos for a very strict 15, full reps. Actually 16, even though the lockout was iffy. He repeated the set after 30 min. rest.
By my math, 200 kg is 484 lbs. Knocking that out for a strict 15 reps is freaky fucking strong -- waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond anything Levrone, Cormier, Yates or even Ronnie ever did onscreen. (Of course, this Frog weighed 161.5 kg -- 355 lbs. -- when he did that. Kevin, Chris, Dorian, Ronnie et al. were generally a lot lighter, sometimes by about 100 lbs.)
He is a legit freak. I'm curious to know what he looks like in contest shape. The dude does have a very good back; if he's got the wheels and his gut doesn't stick out further than (insert joke here) onstage, he easily has the potential to be another Rory Wrinkleface or whatever that dude's name is. You know who I'm talking about: the cat with the insane arms, stupid tats and bloated belly. Winklaar?
You know, Grandma's champ. Ugly guy that could have done maybe a *little* something on the pro stage if not for his hideous face and, later, bulbous tummy.
The Frog is more complete than Wrinklaar but I doubt he'll ever do much "more damage" in the IFBB. He might do OK in some European Grand Prix show against your tier one fruities, but more likely than not, he'll do the show and hold more water than the fucking Danube opposite our "favorites" Phil and Kai, both of whom will smoke him and pretty much everybody else :-|
-
i know what he should do
sign with animal !!
he could be like jason huh make these corney black and white videos talking about how he lives to train, but doesnt like to compete type of shit.
they could even team up big man lil man would be there team.
your right he is stronger than shit for sure that was impressive- i like how he had them weirdos standing around clapping and counting out
his reps for him.
-
:o
-
if he was on that train his cowardly french ass would have been waiting to get shot while US marines saved the day.
btw he is not bigger than rami gunter or ruhl...nice try tho
-
... we just saw him bench 200 kilos for a very strict 15, full reps. Actually 16, even though the lockout was iffy ... By my math, 200 kg is 484 lbs.
Your math stinks. It's 440.

he/s the KOvacs of the 2010's
dead by 2020-30's

If it's taken from the video someone posted, it's a guest posing.

Who gives a shit unless he actually gets on a stage somewhere and hits mandatory poses next to other guys. If he doesn't do that he's just a tank top gym bodybuilder with a good drug connection. if he can't beat the competition and get a pro card, who cares. He'll be a 100 times less successful Piana. Basically another Victor Richards. A big drug filled freak with nothing to show for it in 20 years except a gym bag, if he's lucky and not dead from a blown out kidney.

Is it part of an innovative routine to show up with shit stains on your chest?

I've noticed quite a few of these guys have fairly freckly skin when they aren't so tanned (see the John Meadows thread). I wonder if it's there to begin with, or if something they do causes/exacerbates it?

As oppose to fighting traffic in the morning and again in the afternoon. Punching a time clock, sitting in a cubicle all day long with other drones, having a boss looking over your shoulder hoping you saved enough for retirement.

Of course, there's no middle ground. Believe it or not, there are individuals who work pretty regular jobs, actually enjoy it more often than they dislike it, go back to their families at night without feeling disgusted. That's actually not my life (though I do love my work but it's easier as it's my own business) but your post reeks of self-righteousness.

Self righteous? You should look up that term. Moral superiority has
absolutely nothing, NOTHING, to do with my post. Nor is it an issue of right or wrong.
As is typical of GetBig, they will always find something to criticize. This guy, for obvious personal reasons most; including me, don't appreciate, wants to be huge and loves lifting weights. He is doing what he wants to do and has achieved a level few have, or will ever, attain. Then you have the naysayers that will never really amount to anything special just throwing rocks and working their crappy 50 grand a year job that they would leave in a nano second if they won the lottery or came into enough money to carry them through.
Of course there are exceptions, but the vast majority that are clogging our freeways every morning and every afternoon because they have to would be out of the rat race if they could.
He's doing what he wants. Whether you think it's worth it or not is your opinion. But he doing what he wants to do, living a life that he wants to live. Most are not.
Not a question of right or wrong or a question of moral superiority.

This is exactly a question of moral superiority. Not in a strict sense of "right or wrong" which is a very restrictive view of morals. Your post implies a difference in value and meaning, the people's lives you're judging being meaningless in your book and this powerlifter's life being somehow more meaningful and of value. You're judging from a moral standpoint, like it or not.

Wrong interpretation. Just wrong. You may disagree but I know what I said and I know what I mean. Don't put words in my mouth. For you to interpret my contention that one shouldn't be so quick to judge another and imply he is wasting his life therefore their lives, the critics lives, are meaningless is simply wrong. I don't how you came to that conclusion.
And I did not define moral superiority with the "restrictive" view of right and wrong. I was very precise in how I stated it and that they were two separate issue. It was to refute your claim of self-righteousness which does imply either moral superiority, irrefutably correct, or both. You have to read more closely, my friend.

So what was your point in creating an opposition between the lives of those who, for better or worse, go through the motions and this guy's life (who actually might also go through a different type of motions- I honestly don't know as I don't know him)?

Do not be so quick to past judgments on others and feel you know better than he does on how he should live his life.
Look, I don't get the appeal of those who want to climb Mount Everest. The risk and considerable expense and the fact that all of them would die if they didn't have the sherpa's with them. I mean, I get the sense of achievement of one doing something that few in the world can or will ever do but when I look at the cost and risks involved it's not even close. But people do it. Even as they past the over 200 dead bodies frozen there because no one feels it is worth the risks to bring them down for a proper burial. I don't get it but they not doing it for me. If someone isn't hurting anyone else and it's a passion of yours then have at it. Who am I to cast stones and past judgement? Why someone would want to be 350 lbs and go through all that it takes to do it along with all the health risks is beyond me.
But if that's what he wants to do then lumber around like an oaf and have people stare at you.
While watching one of those bbing documentaries one bber was asked why he puts himself through all this. That there must be something off with him. It's not normal. He just replied, "It sucks to be normal."
OK, I get it.
PIP brave adventurer. At least you made it to the top and you will give pause to all the other adventurers as they see your frozen corpse destined to remain there as long as the earth exists.

Well, my experience brought me to think that there's no such thing as "normal". Sure, there are a lot of people who are fully the products of determinisms. But also a lot of people who go through what looks like a normal life but has its own specificities. I agree on the "non judgmental" part but that's exactly what you did somehow.
-

Well, in that context you are correct. Some are just not as normal as others but everyone is unique in their own way.
I do believe in being judgment. Making judgments. How can you not? I'm not going to associate with just anyone and I'm not going to hire just anyone. Being nonjudgmental across the board just means you have no standards.
But it does matter what you choose to past judgment on. I do past judgment on this muscle bound fella in that I think it's not something I would aspire to or want my son to aspire to. But I don't past judgment on him as a person and feel what he is doing is wrong and that my life is better than his and he's wasting his life. As long as someone is not hurting anyone else and what they are doing makes them happy and fulfilled then it's none of my business. That's why I don't like when people criticize Ronnie for still pushing it at his age and condition. The guy seems happy like a puppy and is enjoying life and doing what he loves. Even if it's going to kill him.
BTW, your name looks familiar. Have we debated before? I argue and debate with so many people here that I can't keep track of them.

No, we haven't. I chimed in the whole "underaged" debate but was exchanging posts with BeThere, in a non-agressive manner. You once mistook me for another poster, you accused me of being an anti-Semite but you quickly realized it wasn't me and you apologized so all is good.

A 6"4 shredded 350 lbs monster of a man is not impressive ;D

GetBig wouldn't be GetBig if we stopped going for the jugular. But it should also be done with enough critical distance so that it doesn't turn into a manhunt. That's why I didn't participate in the recent bashing. I mostly don't agree with you to be frank. But that's no reason to turn the whole thing into a lynching.

There are tons of careers out there that have an environment that is nothing like you just described. If thinking every other dude is living a "life of quiet desperation" helps you feel better then so be it. But that couldn't be further from the truth.

I much prefer the look he has than the over depleeted look they carry on stage anyway. Does not show as much in stage shots but in real life, it's not so good.

Sorry dude, that was lifted from a Joe Public Instagram site called @muscleworshipuk, nothing to do with Mr Aste. I left the page title in so people could see the attribution - sorry if it wasn't clear. There are a load of really good muscle shots on this page, but I think he's probably one of those guys you're not too keen on, so maybe best either not to go there, or be prepared for what you might see. (For some reason there's quite a few shots of Mike O'Hearn on there too - weird.....)

maybe the bar weighs more in france !

Saw him in person last year, not impressive. No way shredded
-
Post some comparision shots to prove how wrong you are.
I would say comparing Morgan Aste and Greg Kovacs is valid.
Greg was 6'2. He was probably around 385-lb in this photo with Jay Cutler, which was taken around 1998, I think:

Wow, that's scary isn't it? If it can stimulate something like that, then a polyp on the colon or something like that could pop up easily...

Where can I learn this math? ???
200 kg is 440 lbs.

This is why many of us choose to get our news from Getbig.
Does Lord Rothschild control Getbig too? ???

He's huge... But far from top bodybuilding quality, a bit narrow with funky structure, no chest, average muscle bellies, and so on... Looks full of SEO in certain parts too... Still huge and tall, probably a legit 6'1 since the billed 6'4...

Dead by 35. He'll be like that WSM Johnny Perry from ten years or so. Dude was massive and dropped dead at 27.

Your math stinks. It's 440.
LOL ... and, *cringe* ... shit!
Rob, you are of course correct. I was thinking two-hundred TWENTY kilos for some reason. Believe it or not, I'm perfectly cognizant of the fact that a kilogram is 2.2 lbs. and, yes, per simple math, 200*2.2 = 440.
As others have said, however, even 440x15 -- or 16, if you're willing to count the last rep -- in good form, no less, is pretty damned impressive. It really doesn't matter if the lifter is 161.5 kg and juiced to the gills; plenty of super-strong, gassed-up guys (e.g., George whats'-his-name, the 300ish pounder who can close-grip 330 for 30, deadlift over 800 for 8, etc.) probably can't duplicate the Big Frog's lifts, so those lifts remain pretty mind-boggling to me.
In any case, I notice you tend to denigrate really huge bodybuilder's training poundages. You once told me how you "marveled" at how Nasser El Sonbaty struggled to incline 315 for a few reps. (Aside: yes, I have used before, albeit somewhat conservatively opposite Nasser's doses, and within a few months, I had no trouble equaling or eclipsing his incline pressing strength based on what you noted. Of course, at the same time, he would've made he look like a complete jerk-off onstage.) On the other hand, when a big bodybuilder moves decent weights, like "Big Ramy" doing an easy eight reps with a 405 flat bench, you sneer and say he couldn't do "two sets of 225x8 'without the drugs'."
While I've little doubt you've enough experience with these juiced-up motherfuckers to support this conclusion, the very proclamation, particularly given the frequency with which you make it, does strike me as a bit ... ehhh ... I dunno. Bitter, maybe? There were, after all, a LOT of bodybuilders who were decently strong even before they gassed or used much on the way of gas. Of the semi-modern sort, Mike Mentzer and Boyer Coe come immediately to mind.

Lol awkward as shit with a bunch of non gym goers clapping for you
Watch after the first set they show him almost passing out due to his lack of sugar so they give him a squeezey packet of glucose. Boy must be on lots of slin
Yikes.
Of course, at the same time, he would've made he look like a complete jerk-off onstage.)
I had to read that twice. It's funny when typos change the context completely. ;D I'm reminded of King Kamali's 2006 post when he said that Bob Kennedy "resigned" him when he meant to say he re-signed him.

I would say comparing Morgan Aste and Greg Kovacs is valid.
Greg was 6'2. He was probably around 385-lb in this photo with Jay Cutler, which was taken around 1998, I think:
jeez
dwarfing Jay there
is kovacs still alive?

Greg passed away due to heart failure on November 22nd, 2013. He was 44 years old. He is sorely missed by his two sisters, as well as his girlfriend at the time, who was with him the day that he passed away.
-
He is sweating a lot, 30 minutes later, after doing a set of 15. Are those just moles on his head?
6'4 and 250 would be huge. 356 is just beyond massive. I fear for Aste's health though.

I know his sister Marta, which is why I felt his loss a bit more than the average bodybuilding fan. To this day, she is still saddened about it as if Greg's passing was yesterday. Greg's other sister Kris Finbow is still saddened by it also.
We as fans or followers of bodybuilding may not think much about a young bodybuilder's death aside from viewing it as a cursory tale about the dangers of steroid abuse, but there are usually families and close friends in the wake who take the losses horribly. Greg, by all accounts, was a pretty nice guy.

In the other video, someone was taking a picture of him as well. Even by bodybuilding standards, he is huge. A bodybuilder who is 5'6 and 165-lb in good condition would be pretty thick in person. Imagine someone almost a foot taller than that and almost 200-lb heavier.

Gunter Schlierkamp was 6'1.5" and 345-lb at his heaviest. Maybe the push for size was part of the reason why Gunter retired at 36.

If you can't see the myriad of physique flaws, you're not too "in the loop" of what constitutes a good competitive build.
I know what you're saying, but I don't think a competitive build necessarily means he had to be as good as Mr. Olympia. I think had Greg not pushed his physique weight-wise, he could have been a viable pro. Viable, meaning good enough to qualify for the Olympia. In fact, Greg stated in one of his RXMuscle columns that he was invited to the 1996 Mr. Olympia contest by Joe Weider himself, based on his 1996 CBBF win. I think it's safe to say that his championship form in 1996 was not only good enough to turn pro, but good enough to place top three in some of the pro shows that year, and hence qualify for the Mr. Olympia - back when the top three from the Grand Prix shows and the other smaller shows would qualify tor the O.
Unfortunately for Greg, he pushed his weight to the upper limit in the off-season, maxing out at a peak weight of 416-lb at around 20-25% body fat, which is not fat by any means - it's pretty average. A lot of people calling themselves 12% body fat are actually closer to 22%. Getting so heavy ruined both Greg's competitive viability and his cardiovascular system. It may well have cut his life in half. Keep in mind that in Art Atwood's case, Art's father passed away six months after Art did, at the age of 70.
Is it worth it? I seem to doubt it. I'm happy that YouTube exists now, allowing lifters to become stars without taking on the risks associated with competing. I'm also happy the Physique division exists for this reason as well, even if it was simply a way for the NPC to expand and collect more competitor fees.

Is Greg in a hospital bed in the photo below?
Greg underwent mitral valve surgery two weeks prior to his death. According to Dave Palumbo, Greg didn't want to see a doctor and was using different things, such as cleanses recommended by fellow gym users. He finally went to the doctor and was cleared for heart surgery, but died two weeks later of heart failure.
Here is a larger version of the photo, posted by his girlfriend at the time of his death, Catherine Dupuis:

Hahaha classic, guy is not even 6' foot, probably 5'11 at most, billed at 6'4, idiotic... Kovacs was a legit 6'1-6'2 footer, around the same over 6' Dillett and Schlierkamp, this guy is much shorter...
-
If you look at heaths stance it really does look as if he is on tip toes leaning slightly forward, of course we don't know for sure but he could gain a good few inches doing this.

He looks too "long" to be under six feet. I can't see him being shorter than 6'2. Maybe 6'1.5" like Gunter, at the shortest. I would say 6'2-6'4 looks accurate given how long his arms look.

The guy is so full of shit that he will die before he becomes pro.

Pretty much... Look also at the picture with Arnold, who's barely 5'10 today, you give him few inches on shoes, still Aste is even or shorter... Around 5'11 seems correct...

I fear for his health though. To be that tired and sweaty after one set of 15-16 reps on the bench press can't be a good thing. It seems like he has the potential to hit 370-lb like he wants, but is that a worthwhile goal? :-\

if he wants to move like a baby hippo its probably very worth it

What Royalty said. Nasser wrote his cruel words about Greg in 2008, as a bitter ex-competitor (as Kovacs himself later put it on his RXMuscle reply in 2011). Greg and his family was nothing but cordial to Nasser when he spent the month at Greg's family's house in Toronto, Canada. Nasser was simply trying to get back into the limelight and did so by bashing Greg about being unable to wipe his own rear end when Greg weighed over 400-lb. Since Greg did not deny that in the 2011 reply on RXMuscle, I assumed the story was true. But that's not a big surprise - Greg was genuinely over 400-lb. It would make sense that it would be difficult to function at that size.

My apologies, Rob. You're one of the good guys around here and Getbig is better for your input. No homo, my tongue up your wazoo, etc., etc.
No, really. I was being a bit of a jerk, but there is truth to what I said; i.e., you're pretty hard on these juicemonkeys, especially when it comes to the kind of weight some of the strong ones move.
I can't say I'm some undying Morgan Aste fan, but he did bench over 600 raw ... you've a lot more experience in this than I, but all I can say's that I've yet to meet a naturally big, strong SOB who "dosed" his way up to that kind of strength.
Generally speaking, the most gifted guys in my neck of the woods are lucky to abuse enough shit to bench 405 maybe once or twice. Granted, it's typically UG gear they get from some asshole who makes the stuff in his bathtub, but whatever :)
Anyhow, again, my apologies. You're a good dude.

On the other hand, when a big bodybuilder moves decent weights, like "Big Ramy" doing an easy eight reps with a 405 flat bench, you sneer and say he couldn't do "two sets of 225x8 'without the drugs'."

Nothing on his health, but I'd be interested in any legal updates anyone has about his trainer/sponsor Monsieur Increlex Eric Favre who got pinched in April this year please
(https://fitnessvolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/eric-favre-1-750x374.jpg)
"Eric Favre, founder of Les Trois Chênes laboratories, has been arrested amid alleged trafficking of doping products.
According to Les Progres, Favre and the company’s chief executive Hubert Jaricot were among eight people indicted in Lyon. Favre’s two sons, company employees and customers were also indicted as part of the probe. Arrests reportedly took place on Tuesday in the Rhone and Paris regions, Nice, Bordeaux, Mulhouse, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Favre is considered an important figure within the bodybuilding industry, as a trainer and promoter. The Eric Favre Festival Sport Sante bodybuilding event has been cancelled following his arrest, according to Generation Iron. The event had been due to be a National Physique Committee (NPC) and IFBB Pro League qualifier event. The NPC, which claims to be the largest amateur bodybuilding organisation in the United States, stated it was "in shock" at the cancellation.
The IFBB Pro League has no relation to the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness, who say they use the initials illegally.
French reports have claimed the police investigation began in 2016 after a package containing anabolic steroids was intercepted. The package from Thailand was intended for an address in Rhone. A police operation was then opened in 2017. French authorities reportedly identified bodybuilders in Lyon engaged with the purchase and sale of doping products, according to Agence France-Presse.
A company based in Luxembourg and the Les Trois Chênes laboratories have been suspected of having organised the trafficking of doping products, it is claimed.
Public prosecutor Nicolas Jacquet stated the offences could be punishable by 10 years in prison, should the accused be found guilty."

The Olympics. Remember when Ben Weider was running around the world trying to politic to get bodybuilding into the summer Olympics and the bodybuilding magazines gave updates on his progress? As big a fan of bodybuilding as I am, that was pretty laughable. For sure, there was a huge elephant or two in the room in those conversations.

Matt - like tres_taco says, it's co-incidence. Favre is basically the Swiss-French version of 'Smith' so it's pretty common

Dead by 35. He'll be like that WSM Johnny Perry from ten years or so. Dude was massive and dropped dead at 27.
Except Johnny had a bit of a coke problem (not unusual in strongman circles).

nope, he is 6.4 and 356 lbs super lean.
bench press : 15 @ 441 lbs; 1@ 662 lbs
Huh? One rep at 662-lb? Wouldn't that put him up with the best bench pressers in the world?

Lol awkward as shit with a bunch of non gym goers clapping for you
Watch after the first set they show him almost passing out due to his lack of sugar so they give him a squeezey packet of glucose. Boy must be on lots of slin
Great spotter that old French schmoe. ::)
