He looks like a mixture between Tito Ortiz and Ben Affleck.

I actually got his VHS training DVD in 99 maybe? When he was at his peak only training VHS I ever got he was being pushed on the cover of MD talking about his 27 inch arms and whoever it was supplements. He must have been in his 20s at the time remember when he talked he seemed pretty cool and joked around didn't take himself too serious.  His training pretty much consisted of his buddies loading up plate loaded machines for him. Another buddy also had a copy of the 98 Olympia so those were the two bodybuilding videos we had in college. I will say he was massive.  He was just being paid to be huge though instead of competing so then when they wanted him to compete, he wasn't able to dial it in. Coleman, Dorian and Flex were all peak form in 98. Although Coleman did get bigger by 03

why are you talking about it like its something special thats only on vhs

we have all seen it and it is or has been on youtube for a long time

his peak seems to have been 3-5 years prior to that video. where he started synthol

[Tennisballz]

Would be interesting to have accurate data on their clavicle bone length

A fate worse than death... he should have kept that towel over his face.

his delts are filled with oil there already.

Looks quite good there, Greg if your listening remember to flex your glutes next incarnation.

His coach should have advised more oil on left for symmetry and matching

Too bad that oil NEGATES EVERYTHING

[tatoo]

pretty sure kovacs started out training in his basement, not realizing the crazy strength he had as compared to others..... kind of like somebody here who trains at home and has no idea how weak he is.

All MuscleTech built muscle.

                         I agree with Wes.  I have seen them all.  Bill Kazmeijer  was a huge guy. Jeff Everson was as well. Even louie Ferrigno ( and Arnold too of course)  I am 5ft 9 and now 190 but back in the day I was always 220 to 230 ( biggest was 238 was trying to hit 250 but I couldn't  ) But next to some of these guys I looked ok . But next to Kovacks I looked like this DJ guy! ( Example: like Kovacks was a 20cc syringe and I was the needle) But Dj is like the needle when standing next to Karen Carpenter or any other anorexic.
                         Greg was a very nice guy from the few encounters I had with him. Talkative  and friendly but I just got the impression he was not happy. I think he would have rathered stayed out of the limelight and just worked out and did whatever. Musclemag/Muscletech ruined him. They pushed and pushed and wore him out and his body gave up. I do not know that but that is just the impression I got from him. Plus the man could hardly breathe. Could not do anything because he was unable to have the o2 and energy. He couldn't even add and remove his own weight plates  because then he wouldn't be able to workout well.  R.I.P  big greg!

Oil lumps give him an extra 2" each side.
