Awesome article. Rich is the man and is no doubt deserving of all the success he's earned. Thanks for sharing Jim.

Thanks for that, was a good read! I spotted an error though, it sayd "Britain's Devon Larratt" and I think he's canadian.  Richard Lupkes should always be shown with someone else in pictures, and that someone else's height, weight, upper arm and forearm measurements should be written in small letters under the picture.... then one might get a better idea of just how large he is! Wow.  |

Over the top was July 86 also, but close enough
Here Is some trivia .
What magazine was Richard Lupkes in an article in 1978 ?
And how much did he weigh in the article or that year ?
