“The OG Neckzilla”: Bodybuilding World Glorifies the Long-Forgotten Beast With Monstrous Neck as His Rare Clip Resurfaces on the Internet

The bodybuilding sport may offer unparalleled stardom or push one into timeless obscurity. However, the fan community always cherished bodybuilders who brought mass and definition to the stage and sang the glory of their age-old stories. Recently, they came across Jeff King’s training video, and their happiness knew no bounds. 

Jeff King, the Neckzilla of the 1980s, had a spell on the Mr. Universe and Mr. America stage. However, he never competed in the IFBB events. But when The Golden Days Instagram channel shared King’s training video, the fans had nothing but love for the champion.

The Lost Bodybuilding King

Many believed that Jeff King would have become the glorious King of the arena if he had competed on the prestigious Mr. Olympia stage. The iconic bodybuilder is one of the first ones to bring mass and conditioning to the bodybuilding stage. 

The most intriguing part of Jeff King is his neck, as he had the biggest neck in the history of the sport. He won NABBA Mr. Universe and AAU Mr. America in 1983. However, he quit the competitive arena before venturing onto the IFBB platform. King reasoned his departure to the burnout due to relentless training. But the sport missed the most fascinating story of King very early.
