From all reports he trained his back hard just didn't have the genetics there.

ha what  a shame the dude had everything the weiders where looking for to, my buddy who was in the business told me when they resigned him in 92 they really didnt care if he competed or not they threw him on magazine covers and they sold well,  he made more money from the wbf than any of those guys weider made in there whole career in that era . he was one of the few smart ones.

That must be torture to have almost perfect genetics for bodybuilding except one big part like back.

No more so Than say a national level bodybuilder having the Grit/ Determination
/ Mental attitude & train real hard & consistent year after year & not get
anywhere near the size or physique Gary had, that's the Genetic lottery.

It would be much worse because he knows he was so close but one body part kept him from the top of the mountain.
