Marv Meisner's book is great, I have it too, but I don't grow strictly for size or for competitions. I just got it to read for fun, and it is interesting.

Last year I grew Big Zac with several other larger size beefsteaks, and I think the biggest one, without any special treatment was about 18 oz. but many were around the pound mark. I think, if you want to grow for competition or giant size, you'd have to do as Julia does with selection, mega blooms, etc. Otherwise it will just grow nice sized tomatoes.
