Eduardo Kawak

[Gym Rat]

Schmoe Worthy??

[galain]

Strange how when I first saw this guy he seemed to be a mass monster, and by today's standards he's just tiny.

Better symmetry than I remember him having too.

[LurkerNoMore]

Wonderful hair.

[robcguns]

Wonderful bulge.

[LurkerNoMore]

Wonderful bulge.

I didn’t really notice that. LOL

But the other pro show -NY Pro I think - I commented how one of the contestants resembled him.

He was a lot bigger in 1987. Yet as you say, he's pretty symmetrical [aesthetic] there.

He reminds me of King Kamali in that respect - aesthetic at a lower body weight, but loses those lines at heavier body weights. Perhaps because his slim waist doesn't stay so slim as he puts on the size?

Meanwhile, Frank McGrath competed at the 2004 Toronto Pro at 242-lb, one year after getting his pro card as a superheavyweight, just above the max heavyweight allowable weight, which I believe is 225- and 1/4-lb.

McGrath had a 29" waist as a superheavyheight.  And his waist wasn't exactly massive at 242.

Even as McGrath got older, his waist likely didn't go above maybe 33" at most [if that].

I have a 29" waist at 170-lb, but I add one full inch to my waist for every 5-lb I gain.  So at 200-lb, my waist is 35". 

However, thanks to the power of 17mg daily Anadrol, my waist was 33" at 205-lb last summer. 

So obviously gear will help us put on mass in the right places - but there are limits to everything.

Eduardo Kawak [RIP] was a bodybuilder whose waist expanded as he put on size [1987] - but it's very impressive there! That picture must be from his NABBA Universe days in the earlier 1980's.

Wonderful bulge.

Now that's what you call a cock. 

[Moontrane]

Wonderful physique, but a face that could make a train take a dirt road.

Eduardo Cock

HAHAHA. 

In 2002, I read that only about 5% of women want men with pro bodybuilder physiques. But that means in a city of 200,000 people - with about 100,000 being women - that 5,000 women would want an IFBB pro as a boyfriend.

Now how many men in a city with a 200K pop. are IFBB pros? By 2002 standards - not the "Everyone Gets a Trophy" IFBB pros of the past decade. One IFBB pro per 200K pop. would be 1,500 pros per 300M pop. [approx. USA pop in 2002].

That means you'd have 5,000 women who want a man as muscular as Eduardo Kawak, in a city with maybe one man of that body type. Or two. Or NONE.

That's why I assume that all IFBB pros are most likely able to get plenty of women - including lots of babies, regardless of his face/looks.

It's also interesting how some pros keep a small waist even as they become massive - but others like Eduardo have waists which grow as much or more as their muscles do.

Paul Dillett comes to mind - having big delts [and a small head for his size, maybe?] also produces that wide look, that Eduardo in many respects, lacked.

Incredible shoulder width - very Goodrum-like...to some extent, the opposite of Kawak's boxy look:

Because this ain’t a sport for women admirers.   Now do the calculation for schmoes and see the difference.

Very true...but I still think most IFBB pros can get a lot of women. They have a "rare" male body type, and even if not many women want a man with an IFBB pro body, even fewer men have such a body.

So my suspicion is that most male pro bodybuilders can get women pretty easily.

Dude you  spent several years interviewing these guys at expos. Were women hanging around them? Your suspicion should be fairly easy for you to figure out.

One bodybuilder, I caught on video cheating on his wife.

A certain type of woman prefers a certain type of man.

Kawak seemed to be cursed with the same genetics as Franco Santerello.  Or however you spell it.

Franco Santoriello.

Frank the Tank. The coulda-been Michael Jordan of bodybuilding.

[38 returns]

His mistake was letting us all in on the cybergenics secret

[IroNat]

Kawak had an incredible physique plus he died for us.

Like Demayo he let himself get sucked into the addiction cycle of heroin.  Unlike Demayo he survived.

Totally true. I am nowhere nowhere close to Pro level, and I don’t know about whether you all would agree, but here are the three groups who seem to have a disproportionate interest in musclemen:

1. All bikini and figure type women (girls who REALLY train, not just in the gym)
2. Black women
3. Gay men

If you are into any of those three, train away!

[pamith]

Wonderful bulge.

Bro...

If I remember correctly, there's a video of Tom Platz praising Eduardo Kawak, saying he had ''too much muscle'' or something like that, I thought it was crazy, yeah Eduardo was big, sure, but I never thought he was that big, is he bigger than a prime Shawn Ray? I don't think so. Also I heard Kawak was a big time womanizer, always getting laid, or had many groupies, something like that, I thought that was crazy, with a face like that, he resembles the cave man from the geico commercials, but some women simply can't resist muscles

[pamith]

Apparently he's still alive
