i wll say this gain ..LONG LIVE MASS MONSTERS
You're talking about
pure mass? I mean, sheer size witout any consideration for taper, details, dryness, density and proportions? Not even muscularity - sheer size and muscularity are two very different things? If so, then here's my list:
1. Greg Kovacs(440 lbs)
2. Roland Kickinger(330 lbs)
3. Paul Dillet(305 lbs - highest competition weight)
4. Gunther Schlierkampf(300 lbs)
5. Ronald Coleman(290+ lbs - 2004 O)
6. Markus Ruhl(285 lbs)
7. Nasser El Sonbty(280+ lbs)
8. Jean-Pierre Fux(280 lbs)
9. Dorian Yates(275 lbs - night show, 1997 O)
10. Jay Cutler(270 lbs)
Hope it helps!

P.S: I'm a fan of sheer size, too, but I'm able to separate a pure mass criteria from a bodybuilding criteria(bodybuilding envolves far more: muscularity, taper, striations, density, hardness and proportions).
