Ever heared of Greg Kovacs or Roland Kickinger?
There were plenty of "mass monsters" worse than Palumbo...
Kovacs look FANTASTIC when he won the 1996 Canadian Nationals to turn pro.
But, it was downhill after that, because of all the MuscleTech hype, promising that he'd come in ripped at some ungodly bodyweight.
He was supposed to be 325 ripped at the 1997 Night of Champions (his pro debut). He ended up being 318 and smooth as a baby's behind.
Had he stayed in the low 300s, he would have had decent results.
