Some of you miss the point.Most people just look at size,how many of you heard "that guy is huge" stated on some fat ass?

EQ means that if some 300 6"5 dude stand next to you he will make you feel like a twig.Yeah he wont be as thick and full as lets say Levorne at 250 lean BUT it wont matter.

The sheer WTF factor will do it.To intimidate someone it dosent matter if you got 23" arms lean or 20.5 average juiced gym rat BF%.

BTW this is a great time to noted that Paul Dillet relyed mostly on that.If you will see pictures of him you will notice his chest and back were soooo flat,seriously not Olympia quality bodyparts.

haaa...an nfl guy dwarfing an ifbb pro bodybuilder.wat a joke. every 1 is forgetiing one name....markus ruhl.in made in germany ruhl was looking so huge he hardly was able to fit in an elevator.and yes no way kovacs is bigger than ruhl or coleman.kovacs had no legs,no delts, no arms..just big structure all over..although kovacs did seem to have a big back tho but not that big...a gut bigger than his chest..yeah we call kovacs the monster of the guts...

does anyone remember the film Bulletproof with Adam Sandler and James Caan? Caans bodyguard, i think his name was jeep swenson or something like that, well he was nothing short of a mutant. The thickest neck ive ever seen and he was enormous! He must have been bigger than Ronnie C

I wonder if Onlyme knew him?

Few bodybuilders are more imposing than Big Ted Washington of the Oakland Raiders. At 6'5 365 lbs, the man is a monster.

ruhl definitely is imposing in life. i haven't seen him myself, but when you watch his video versus all others, he just looks like all of his clothes are custom made from multiple garments. i mean, his shoulders are about four feet across, the people in the supermarket were just staring at him in shock.

i'll tell you who is huge. strongmen competitors. the wsm guys look a bit sloppy but next to a normal person they're absolute leviathans. wwf wrestlers are pretty large as well. i've run into some of them and you'd be surprised.

MuscleTech.

That's funny!! I could have sworn Kovacs was working for that very same company 10 years ago, when he turned pro at the Canadian Nationals.

According to IMDB, Swenson was over 400 pounds (at 6'4") when he died in 1997. He had a massive myocardial infarction, and while in the hospital, the doctors admitted that they couldn't do anything for him until he could lose at least 100 pounds. He died days later.

Anyone who thinks that Ronnie does not "look that big" is either dumber than a box of rocks..................o r slightly retarded. 5"10 and 285 ripped, 320 off season. It sounds like the typical, "I have this friend..........who's way bigger than you"...or the......"you only bench 600........,my buddy put up 650 last week..........and he's about 185". Some people are so uninformed and so ignorant about certain issues, that it's ridiculous to even make the statement.
Also.........while Kovac's may be hideous on the contest stage, he is absolutely, insanely huge in person while in decent off-season shape...............and I am not a fan. He is mind boggling huge.

How is 6'2" 350-375 (off season) smaller than 5'10" 285

?
I have seen both Ronnie and Greg several times in person......and yes, Kovac's is much larger. That doesn't mean better...........Kovacs physique is terrible........plain and simple. Coleman is 285 pounds of symmetrical muscle. That is why he is MR. OLYMPIA. You cannot even compare the two. Kovac's could not even win a high level local show right now, as his physique has changed for the worse over the years. I was just stating the size.....#####'s difference.

bouncers look big with their clothes on, but once they put on short-sleeves or take it off, the difference is huge. bodybuilders just look a lot more impressive. i worked bouncer at a bar for a while, although i have to say I'm one of the smallest bouncers u will ever meet, only 5'8 and 185-190. i usually had to roll up my sleeves a little to let the big drunk guys know perhaps i do have some muscles under these clothes. it made my job easier.

Don't, see how, 5'8" 185-190, I'd think you'd be tested by quite a few hammered chicks with those stats. You maybe should have looked into being a bar back, your lucky you never got really hurt. I'm 5'7 and in the off season used to go up to 265lb ( not all fat either had abs and huge snake running up and down the arms) and used to bounce at a large strip club in New England, and a few small bars (places that would book bands like Quite Riot, you know when rock died out, some of the bands would still draw large crowds to small venues. Even though I had that much mass packed onto a 5'7" frame, you'd still here "He's just a big little guy" and have a hicks always try to test you out. Got out after a few yrs, not worth, it. Always wished I would have made it to 6' and I would have been fing 325 easy, much more scary looking.,lol.
