How many times you going to post that picture?

[Dr Dutch]

How many times you going to post that picture?

Just think of it as something like  "gayer than...", "pics or it didn't happen" or "that's not Lee Priest"..

the shotgun pic is shopped to hell and it is toney freeman. they put vics small head on the body.

Because he would have got slaughtered, his muscle is bloofy not grainy hard and has never been shredded.

I totally disagree with this,,,his physique is amazing...he just didn't have the drive probably to maintain the training....he could probably do it in spurts but didn't have the discipline long term

[notsureifsrs]

One of the thickest bodybuilder i ever seen
He's pretty much complete and had the size, the definition, but i never seen him with real deep cuts i mean after all some striation showing up isn't enough...

i disagree with this, he couldnt hack the 90's ripped to the bone diet and didnt have the confidence to go against the best, was just happy to stay big and do seminars etc

[jwb]

kinda like a black Gary strydom awesome from the front and sides and loses it from the back.

 Vic's lats were very high and Haney would have schooled him on a pro stage.

What part do you disagree with, that he has never been contest ripped or that he would get slaughtered. I think he has an amazing physique, but Ive been to 100's of bodybuilding shows and I've seen literally thousand of jacked bodybuilders, stupid big, 20 inch arms plus, but they come in smooth every show, hence they never win. enormous bodybuilders are a dime a dozen, ripped to bones are rare, the 90's everybody was striated, and very rare to find a pick of Vic with any striations and veins only in his arms, 2 weeks out Dennis James pic slaughters any victor pic and come contest totally different physique, who's to say he wouldn't lose a lot of size in the last adjustments of contest prep. To many factors to consider to say he would do good on the Olympia stage.

 He was owning Yates on that video!

  One day I am going to post the picture of Greg Kovacs where he is 440 lbs and not fat, taken when he achieved his greatest bodyweight ever around 2001 and then you guys will forget Richards, Coleman 2003, Jean-Pierre Fux in his prime, and other monsters. In this picture, Kovacs is 153 lbs heavier than Coleman was at the 2003 Olympia and still had average bodyfat. I just need to find the MuscleMag issue where it is(I have more than 1,000 issues of bodybuilding mags stored, so finding it is quite hard), and then I will post it. Kovacs was shit as a bodybuilder, but I think the I.F.B.B should have made an exception in his case and rewarded him more than they did because his muscular size was so super-human it deserved acknowledgement...

[GraniteCityDon]

Kovacs - lol

[Bam-bam]

Kovacs - lol

this is from the same vid where they edit the takes to look like he used more weight than he really benched, lol, so there is probably a beer can on the other side of the tape...

[The_Iron_Disciple]

He was owning Yates on that video!

You and gorillas ! Lol ! Hell, Kovacs WAS a gorilla at that weight ! LOL ! I think your search is over, my friend !

[GraniteCityDon]

Yeah ive watched that, if he had manned up and taken the challenge set to him by Coen it would have been atleast credible!

Talking of INcredible:

[EL Mariachi]

This guy suckmy muscle always writes some messed up stuff but kovacks at his prime was a sight that can never be duplicated, I can remember clear as day, nothing compares to him. Prior to him I had seen Yates, dillet, Nasser, and Gunter and kovack was in a category of his own, not from a bodybuilders perspective, but from sheer size, his dimensions, his circumference, width and everything, truly unbelievable.... I remember some guy pulled out a digital (when they first came out lol) and kovacs jumps on the scale at 365 and some visible striations in his chest 6% tops,... 2000 or 2001.

I think you and I are basically saying the same thing..we just put it differently..he didn't have the discipline to come in dry and striated.....we agree now? ..I think he loved the training part and loved being huge but he just didn't ant to do the dieting and drying out part which in the 90's meant he had to use tons of diuretics and suffer through not eating which only the the very hardcore can do....many just don't have the mind-power or will to do this and I think he was one of those

shit, I suffer greatly just trying to diet for one day

This is correct, glad we agree. The foundation to do damage is there, like winning the first round, but there still is round 2. This single point about going the distance and sufferring while dieting that only the hardcore can muster is the only thing keeping the sport respectable. It's not that I don't respect Vic, it's just Haney, yates, coleman, etc deserve way more respect
