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.

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.

"Real life" vs "contest/magszines"... Phil gets dry anal -raped.
