app.250 lbs... 98 olympia and 99 grand prix were his best shape ever imo.
Well into his 250's. Not just a mere 250 even. He was reported to have gone up to 280 pounds in his training in 1995-1998 and then slowly reduced his weight down to 253-260 pounds for his competitions. From 1999 onwards, he went up to 265 pounds from NOTHING and came down to his 236-243 pounds (he claimed to be as high as 248 pounds in one contest (early 2000's), but no longer looked it... His absense of legs became very apparent around this time, putting him at less than 240 pounds and perhaps as low as 225-227 pounds by 2003.
He claims to have been as high as 280 pounds (mid to late 90's) and if any of you have seen his training videos from 1996-1998, you won't doubt that estimate.. All I have to say that he was minimum 265 pounds at his heaviest (when benching 5 plates offseason) and during the mid to late 90's he weighed between 253-260 pounds in competition. Early 2000's he was a shadow of his former self. He peaked in 1996-1999 imo...
