You should get him to come here Jersey. His interviews on NBR were really good. Lot`s of good stories from this guy. At one point he was looking pretty good, then his physique just fell apart. I wish Greg Kovacs all the best.

Yes he wasa machine when he first turned pro, then something happened. His gut got all alienated, his legs looked stringy, he looked very bad. A shadow in comparison to how good he looked those first few years.

Terrific to see and hear something about Greg. He was as good as anyone in his prime. Hope things are good for him.

On the radio interviews I heard, Kovacs did admit that some of his lifts were exagerated. But still that kind of strength would make for awesome strong man potential.

He used to train at my gym in the falls not to long ago. He weighs well over 300lbs. and is still muscular. He is currently working at a supplement store in Hamilton.
