Hmm...I dunno that I'd say he's bigger than Ronnie--not the
good kind of big.
When they weigh about the same, in the 315-330 range, Ronnie looks a good bit harder. And I'd definitely say Vic had a pretty big waist in that FIBO pic.
I've also seen him hotly deny that he routinely eats 10,000 kcal daily. He said that was trumped up; some magazine evidently asked him what he'd eaten the day before, and Vic just guessed 10 thousand because he'd taken in lots of really fatty Nigerian food.
In fairness to Vic, though, he is one of the most genetically gifted guys ever. I think most who dislike him are all hung up in the competitive aspect of bodybuilding. I, for one, don't think you have to get shredded and stand onstage to be a good bodybuilder.
Even the pros who think about this much of him *squeezes index finger and thumb together tightly*, like Prince and Chic at Chad Nichol's forums, admit he's a huge guy--though they quickly add that, standing next to Dorian or Nasser in
any kind of shape, he suddenly doesn't look quite so big.
I don't know if that's true or not. Vic was rather smooth when he stood next to Dorian at the FIBO, but he didn't look small. Dorian wasn't ripped at the time either.
Oh well...*shrugs* He's still impressive, no doubt of it. Have you seen what he looked like as a
teenager?!
