yeah that back looked incredible. Dude is a legit 400 pounds offseason... that's 80+ more than Ronnie and jay hit.
I'd like to see some stage pics of Kovaks next to the biggest TOP guys of his day, to see how much bigger he really was. I'm guessing he didn't get too many comparisons tho, huh?
Rob i have seen Greg in person a few times..............in terms of sheer size he dwarfed all of the Pros competing
(i have never seen a "larger" human being, Greg drew a crowd just by walking around the Mr Olympia convention center.............this was years ago in New York at Madison Square Garden)
Inhuman size!!..............also he was much taller than 100% of the pros at the O
now none of this translated onto a bodybuilding stage .............Greg just wasn't "suited" for bodybuilding
strongman/powerlifting yes................looki
ng unbelievable walking around at bodybuilding shows yes
making money being huge freaky (but not competing in bodybuilding contests) yes!
unfortunately Greg wanted nothing more than to be a champion bodybuilder (he loved the sport)
and he believed all of the hype!
(buy/rent his old bodybuilding DVD Colossus )
