One of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. In 1993, he had what many consider to be the greatest and most proportional body on the planet, and it has never been duplicated since. He wasn't a mass monster in his early years, and he happened to have the frame to look amazing while staying relatively light (for bodybuilding) at 227 lbs shredded.
He got in a car accident in 1994 and broke his neck and it almost destroyed his career. He had the best pro bodybuilding debut in the history of the sport when he turned pro in 1993. He won his first 4 contests, and placed 2nd at the Mr. Olympia. After the car accident, it took him 5 years to get back to #2 at the olympia, behind Ronnie Coleman. He did play the bodybuilder mass game and got to 250s, sacrificing some proportions for more size. In 1999, he was diagnosed with an extremely dangerous kidney disease.. He was never the same again and had to retire shortly after.
He now is a partner with EFX, a nutritional company. He is considered the greatest bodybuilder to never win a Mr. Olympia.
