A Farewell to 'The Giant'
On November 25, 2013, the sport of bodybuilding lost a great hero in IFBB Pro Greg Kovacs, who passed as a result of a heart attack. As with Nasser, I'm grateful that the rabid mainstream media hasn't taken hold of this tragedy to rally against the sport, especially because they'll do so without a scintilla of evidence most of the time.
I remember it like it was yesterday. The year was 1993. Dorian Yates marched onto the stage at the NPC Bev Francis Atlantic States weighing a mind-boggling 285lbs. His back was so thickly muscled that it looked like it belonged to an alien from a science fiction movie.

On a recent segment of Ask Dave on the Heavy Muscle Radio show Dave was asked, “Do you think more mainstream exposure is good for the sport of bodybuilding?” In comparison to mainstream sports and the public and mainstream media perception of bodybuilding, saying bodybuilding is viewed as a fringe sport is like saying Charlie Sheen has a drinking problem – it’s a major understatement.
Canadian Bodybuilder Greg Kovaks died today of heart failure at the age of 44.
"The Strongest Bodybuilder Alive" won his procard at the Canadian Nationals in 1996.
Train Like A Hero!
