Did Jeff do a lot of neck work or did he have a naturally big neck?

He used the Nautilus 4-way Neck Machine 3 X a week.

Jeff worked at George Turner's Gym in Saint Louis around 1986-7. I spoke to him and got to see him train on a daily basis. He was a really good /thick bodybuilder for the time.

Looks to me like he was doing some guest posing and seminars in foreign countries.

Probably the most underrated bodybuilder of the time simple for not being in the IFBB.

He was definitely very good & not on the radar due to not competing in the IFBB
Not sure how he would've stacked up in an Olympia line up - I'd guess at being in
the top 6 , certainly would've been an interesting addition.

He gave up / disappeared off the circuit far too soon.

He didn`t really just give up.....Weider wanted him to enter all of the smaller IFBB contests such as the Mr. America and the Universe and he had already won the AAU and NABBA versions respectively and told Weider to get fucked.

It was as if he had to start over from the bottom after all the years and work he put in as if he was just a nobody and he felt he had already paid his dues which in fact he did.

I still would have loved to see him compete in the IFBB though.

I'd be pissed off, too.

Some great content there, btw.
