Yes but he suffered some deterioration from it. I read somewhere that other pros that posted on the boards back during that period would delete comments and keep people from looking into it. Someone mentioned that they ran into him on the street somewhere with his wife/gf years later, so he survived. He went under the knife originally to mend a torn triceps.

In all seriousness... Remember watching him on Battle for the Olympia 2002 and the dude was probably the top three most impressive bodybuilders I had ever seen in my f****** life... From a freak standpoint.

Him... Dillett... Paco... And prolly Ronnie?

Bumped into ruhl in Vegas (literally ran into him chest to chest in vegas)... Big dude but wasnt
Like "holy shit" impressed. (Same aith levrone)

Markus was top 10 bit not top 6 and Kevin I believe was top 3 that year? It was Kevin Went to the Expo after prejudging in his posing Trunks and started dating poses. I literally didn't even notice him just saw the crowd looked up and Kevin was 10 inches away from me right in front of me ifucking dwarf him. My ex took pics that year it looked like I could have hugged him and f****** enveloped him I was amazed. Especially since I didn't think I was that big

My guess is you are like 6'2 and 280?  Yes, that is going to be more imposing than a pro bodybuilder.  Kev was probably 235 that day, at 5'9.  Big yes, but in terms of the sheer amount of space he took up, ordinary gym goers can dwarf him, especially if they are tall, so I am not surprised by your story.

When I saw Kev at the 2013 Europa in Florida he was about my size.  I think I was 178 at the time, and he was maybe 185.  It was interesting to see.

Was he super wide, or did he have a very small head?  Both?

Height and structure are far more important than muscle when it comes to being imposing and looking powerful.

Idk he looks pretty insane. It wouldn't surprise me if he were hitting 4 sets of 10 or even 5 sets. These guys do some crazy shit to be that size.

He was a huge proponent of wide grip chins. He said that chin ups were a staple of his since his youth.

I HAD pics. Don't forget that's before a couple moves and prison. Lost almost everything I had in storage. (Furniture, yearbooks, ex's diploma, etc...).

And the pick a you guys keep posting lol. You don't get it that beers go up and down in bodyweight? Blue shirts was trt ONLY for 5years, and underwear was Must be month or so after be I g -PARALYZED. Lol .

Funny story about the undwear pic....

I was in S.D. on a Fri night. Had a motel.gonna see my kids the next day.  Had this Filipina girl I had seen the weekend prior who just got her Masters in Family a Therapy or something, so I'm thinking she's a solid girl. Bio sex inn the first night, which is good, but she's been gallon bout it all week...

We go out to eat. My fav sushi place in SD. Sushi Deli..... She ask we if it's ok if we don't have sex. I'm think in "Wtf? This girl has been talk in bout this shit all week".. I say yea no worries..... Then she goes on and on about how she think s I'm upset blah blah blah
 Said I'm not.... Whatever.

Long story short... I take her home. Say good luck. Get back to my motel and text another girl in SD (met all these girls on plenty Of fish.com)... Meet up with her in mission beach. 5mins into walking with her down mission beach boardwalk at midnight I/we hear a huge crash and scraping metal. So I run down lol 1/2block sidewalk and come to a car accident.

Some car is on its roof with a girl hanging upsidedown crying. Yanked the door open and used my tactical knifebto cut the seatbelt, caught her so she didn't fall, and pull led her out. The girl starts flippingbout about her BFS laptop that was in thevtrunk and how he's gonna be pissed or whatever cuz its covered in antifreeze. (Trunk popped opemn).

Meanwhile the girl I was with watches all this... I'm think in I got this chic in the bag. Real boys out shit... Turns out me n her went to the same school and if dated a few of her cousins. ( she was Lao...) no sex that night. Next wknd she drives all the way up here AND brings some Magnum XL condoms from her ex bf. I said sweetheart these ain't gonna fit. She insisted on using a condom. Told her sorry that shits too small. Laid next to me all night.no sex.leaves the next morning.never saw her again. Lol

Actually I was about 230 at that time and I believe kev competed at 220ish. Course my frame and bf were higher than me vs but I was still surprised.

What year was this? Had you met Kev in 1997-1998 he would have been physically imposing in person...guaranteed.

During those years Kev came in really small at some shows, so it's feasible.

I think he claimed 223 or something.

Plus 230/240 or whatever I was then at 10-12% is larger than 223 at 4% lol...plus my shoulders are wide.

Interesting.  Assuming you are not 6'4 or something, that could make sense.  Normally those I see dwarfing pros are tall local or provincial competitors or others who may not be pros but walk around at 6'2 and 320.  They are not good enough to beat a bodybuilder at Kev's level on stage, but they would be bigger than him.

I think Kev in the 2002 BFTO video was about 254, so I would suspect his was at least 230 on stage.  Although that was also when his legs were on the decline, so who knows.  He could have been in the 220s.

Phil legitimately beats Orville, but dang - really puts in perspective the difference in frames, and potentially head size, between the two.
