hahahahaha, 28 inch arms that somehow look 3-4 inches smaller than Ronnie's 22's.

I saw Paul Dillet at 300lbs , and Kovacks at 340lbs, both guest posing. Dillet looked two times bigger then Kovacks .

I've seen Kovacs in person. All hype, he's not that big. I don't believe those BS numbers.

I saw Klaus Doring curling 15's and sipping protein from a huge glass beaker. The man was huge!

As the picture posted above proves, Kovacs had immense arms. Even when dieted down, they are 24" to 26". I have seen off-season pics of Kovacs where his arms are much bigger than in the top pitcture.

SUCKY you have to know by now we're talking relative size, meaning volume; Kovaks' arms whatever they actually measure aren't that impressive relative to his height.

Sheer size relative to height and bone structure it's gotta be Coleman then Dillet. Most of the taller BBs like Kovaks or Ferrigno didn't have great size relative to height.

he had the largest arms in the world!

he sold millions of muscletech products.

his video GREG KOVACS: THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE inspired many to get massed.

HE IS : GREG KOVACS 'THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD'!

Vic Richards was one of the largest bodybuilers of ALL-TIME, dwarfing an off-season Dorian and Dillet in 1994. HE weighed around 370 pounds at 5'9"-5'10", compared to Kovacs who was 6'2"-6'3".

BayGBM · « **Reply #37 on:** July 23, 2007, 08:58:30 PM »

Claims to be the biggest.

Read my post on the first page and you'll see that I mentioned that. I never said that Kovacs is more muscular than Coleman; I said that he carries more muscle. Obviously, Coleman carries far more muscle than Kovacs relative to his height and skeletal frame. Kovacs is 3 or 4" taller than Coleman and has much, much thicker bones. It is not that hard to have 28" arms when you're 6'3 and have wrists as thick as logs. Look at an elephant and you'll see that it carries 5 or 6 tons of lean muscle mass despite never working out due to it's gigantic bones. Kovac's arms would need to be 33" for him to have the relative size of Coleman. The point, however, is that Kovacs arms are bigger in absolute terms.

Have you ever met Kovacs? His wrists are not as thick as logs. After all the bullshit claims when I finally met him, I wanted to laugh.. a big guy yes, but 400 lbs with 28 arms... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Idiot. I am using metaphoric language. Of course his wrists are not literally as thick as logs.

not every physique looks its best on stage. eg- kovacs and vic richards look great lean, but not as impressive when fully dieted down (vic still looks good dieted down though). anyway, the genetics to combine them all, then have the joints, the hip ratio, etc is much harder.

greg kovacs is fuckin huge end of story. on stage....others will beat him. but he is immortal for his monster size.

howver his one appearance at that arnold classic was the funniest thing ever...even dorian was laughing on the commentary. easily the funniest thing i ever seen.

he looked like a cambodian villager on steroids.

No one said anything about just using absolute terms, plus Kovak's measurements are speculation.

Brutal stretch marks on Kovacs' chest in the last pic.

no, his arms were measured at 28" by Johnny Fitness.

SUCKMYMUSCLE

there was a pic on a 1997 MuscleMag that showed the 27 inch arm or Kovacs. This was when Muscletech was promoting him heavily, he actually looked decent compare to that recent pic...Musclemag was constantly hounding him to compete after he won his pro card.... and the posted pic is the end result after a few other tries.

He was suppose to be about 330-345 back in 1997. If ND was here he'd have the cover of the MuscleMag...

NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT... what the hell did kovacs do all these years since he didnt compete?

he probably just collected cheques from muscletech and trained.

dawakaman · « **Reply #47 on:** July 24, 2007, 03:58:41 AM »

Kovacs wasn't that big, there's no way his arms were ever CLOSE to 28", cmon now. His might,could & perhaps, possibly be touching 24, but no more than that, and that's streching it. This is a true display of the Muscletech hypemachine and how well it had worked/works.

Peace

Heres a few pics of Kovacs, including one 'measuring' 26". Cant say for certain what size they were but they looked pretty huge:

Dunno about 28" but they were pretty huge. Heres a few pics of when he looked his biggest, including one 'measuring' his arm at 26":
