there is no doubt about it , KOVacs is one of the hugest pros in the history of BB

next to other pro's he would make them look small

but none of his strength claims or measurements eg 27 inch biceps have been officially verified

the late trevor smith also claimed to be as high as 400 pounds

If I was as big and strong as Kovacs, I'd be video taping stuff left and right.

Just saying.

Ronnie was 270 at this year's Olympia.

At 400 pounds, that'd make Kovacs a full 50% BIGGER than Ronnie.

I doubt he ever hit 350.

To answer your question the answer is yes. But did he look good? No. Having gone to the same gym as Greg from 1996 - 2006 all I can say is ALL HYPE. He never once pressed anything that the mags have stated. This was all a ploy for muscletech to enhance their posterboy. He only used smith machines and hammer strengths. No free weights and no intensity and half the weight that the mags (and muscletech) bragged he could do. He may have looked freak but that was also 10-12 years ago while his recepters were still good and not fried. He couldn't place dead last at a show if he tried. He's dropped out of numerous shows. Henderson Thorne, Bob Weatherhill and even Paul Dillet have tried to constructively critisize him trying to help him but he always turned a deaf ear. His extreme drug use (including recs) were his ultimate downfall. How do you go from making $150,000 per year for 7 years with mucletech to making zero dollars? He is the biggest joke in professional bbdg.

Yeah I reckon if he can have arms that measure 25 inches next to a tape measure but still look shapeless and small, then he can probably weight 400lb but not look like a muscular 400. His structure is insane, big big joints, his bones must way about 200lb. Not ideal for bodybuilding although he looked great when he turned pro, any pics? I can't post pics at work. His biceps used to look crazy.

Bigger guys (big like Kovacs) maybe shouldnt emphasis getting SUPER shredded. Not sure if that was the aim here, but this is a least 10 years before his last contest when being ULTRA-shredded was maybe a lesser priority.

ive seen them both guest pose at the same show and greg IS that much bigger than ronnie. Not necessarily muscle wise but def skeletal structure and everything. I saw greg drinking a can of coke and the can literally disappeared in his hand, so he is a massive man

I heard late 90's he had a couple of minor heart attacks so i am suprised he is still alive

Actually, it's been said 6'2" and 6'3". I even heard some 6'4" claims. Not sure.

I stood next to Greg at the MR Olympia (New York Madison Square Garden/forget what year)
we were the same height (6 ft 2")

mesmorph78 · « **Reply #114 on:** December 23, 2008, 12:28:57 PM »

what does it matter he looked like 400lb of crap some of u guys are so obsessed with numbers
apparently his arms were 25 inches yet they are never mentioned in any greatest arm list or article simply because its not about numbers its about shape... his arm looka under 20 inches on that huge barrel fridge torso...

...and had a nice collection of white bath towels to wipe his ass with, since he couldn't reach around to wipe it with toilet paper...

Lol, i remember reading an article in M&F or Flex titled something like „Are you thinking about using steroids? Wait, there might be an alternative“ with agreg Kovacs in the pics. 3-4 pages of rubbish about that there Cell-Tech. Well the article was so convincing, 3 of us bought one tub and split it cause it was so damn expensive.

he looks pretty damn shredded there. Glutes not straited but not everyone can get that.

And that was actually Gregs prime form at 308 lbs. So I really doubt that he was 400lbs in offseason. That would mean almost 100lbs of extra lard...

Btw. height states 6'5 there
