kovacs?

[Welsh power house]

do you guys think that greg kovacs could,
'' had he chosen to, shatter every powerlifting record ever set''
-musclemag july 2001

it then says he can bench 725 for 2-3 reps(without a bench suit)
it also says he can bench 500lbs for 12 reps, military press(seated) 495 for 5 reps, squat 765 for 15 reps!!

he has 27 inch arms and a 70 inch chest, is this the strongets man ever?
i think he must be if he lifts what it says he does and he is a BB!

if he trained as a powerlifter, imagine what he would be lifting!!!!!

yeah he is a bodybuilder....but he hasn't competed in a few years and when he did he didn't place very well. People have been asking him about powerlifting .......but he hasn't stepped up to the plate yet. Maybe it's because he is under a weird contract with muscle tech who knows.

I saw a video of him working out.....he uses a smith machine for all of his pressing and he doen't do squats

greg kovacs is full of shit!!! if you notice in the mags it says he can do BO rows with 585---and it shows a picture of him holding 585 with is arms extended NEXT is show a pic after he has comleted the row with 405 on the bar. ed coan said he has done 575 full motion BO rows.

i dont know, i mean the guys like 400 pounds and lean. he'd got to move some serious weight!! theres no waya round it...now i do think he does lie about some of he measurements and strength feats.....but he is one big mofo!!!

There's no way. The 2 sports require such different training. I have seen a few 700lb benches and a couple 1000lb squats -- these were from guys who are at the top of the game and have been at it for along time. There's just no way a mediocre bodybuilder would be able to touch those marks.

I still say, if you are going to make such claims as being the strongest man in the world, you had better be ready to prove it. Whenever you say you are the bigest or the best at anything, you had better be ready to prove it.

He lies pretty much about everything.
I have a book at home. It has a picture of him, flexing his bi's.....with this lady holding a tape measure around it.It says like 25"......but her second hand is placed behind his arm. You cant see it but im pretty sure she has fingers under the tape measure.

The angles match up and everything.

From what I understand..

He never made those remarks about the huge lifts himself, Muscletech does the talking for him. I may be mistaken though. And.. yes being that big he must be reasonably strong but no where near the numbers presented.

kind regards,
jeremy

Actions speak louder than words - I'll wait for the contest results (oh..he's never competed? Well surely his lifts are legitimate? Bodybuilders exagerate and lie?)

who cares what greg kovacs can do........

he cant really lift the weights they say he does...(which by the way jeremy21 is right about)......and he has never said he made those claims

and who cares how big he is

its real simple......25 inch arms.......60 inch chest....... 35 inch thighs....... BIG FREAKIN DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\

it dont measure up if you have a 45 inch waist.....(which he does).......

he looks like crap..... a big hard strong weak fake.... whatever you want to call him....... he looks like crap

i will grant him props on bigness....... but thats where i draw my line
