Jeff King could have been an IFBB legend.

A lot of you out there probably already know about Jeff King – a very talented bodybuilder in his own right. His name stands out among other bodybuilding legends because he never actually competed in the IFBB. That would be like one of the most talented football players deciding to not play in the NFL and instead compete in some other less popular league.

Did this stunt the potential of Jeff King. The answer depends on how you look at it. Ultimately bodybuilding is a subjective sport. So no matter where he competes – we can all see his physique and judge it the same. But on the negative side – we never got to see him pose side by side with other top tier IFBB pro competitors. So we’ll never really know how he would hold up against the IFBB greats. It’s all down to photos and videos.

Either way – Jeff King was one hell of a competitor and had an amazing physique. Check out the video above exploring his lack of IFBB career and the legacy he left behind.
