sf when you seen this did it bring a tear to your eye, and do you think benching 500 for two reps will help kevin improve his  placing from 16 to 15 in his next show

OSF, thanks for the question. Mr. Levrone's video did not bring a tear to my eye. However, I think if Kevin can go from 500 to 550, he may have a chance of cracking the top 10. An extra 50 pounds to his bench press is likely to increase chest, tricep, and should development, thus leading to a more improved placing.

If he continue doing the things he is doing I think he could make 6 reps on that weight in a moth or two...he has potential to be the strongest bodybuilder out there...no kidding! He could probably squat 6 plates soon to...

Is he a power lifter or bodybuilder?

He has an amazing respons to gear, even at his age

He is quite obviously a bodybuilder who enjoys training powerlifting style.

I can dig it.  Lifting heavy is fun.  

Who thinks going to a gym to train "safe" is fun?  Nobody.  

I understand why people do it, but let's be clear, no "bodybuilding workout" is fun - it's a fucking chore.  A means to an end and truth be told, I'd guess bodybuilding workouts are "harder" in the sense that there is more pain involved.  At least, I rarely feel much pain because I rarely go over 6 reps on anything.  

Powerlifters can actually enjoy their workout because they are sportsmen at the gym.  Bodybuilders are there to do their muscle chores.

Throughout his career u never see him deadlift ever

At least Ronnie was strong on all 3 lifts

I think they fear the waist widening of the deadlift.

[DroppingPlates]

He's taking too much risk being 50+ with a torn pec, impressive strength tho

and that's still a better build than most people

Easily.

Legs and Back and Conditioning win shows


Unfortunately for Levrone, there are many competitors that are far ahead of him in those areas

Arms and delts and 90s nostalgia wins schmoes.

Yup. Levrone is catering to the male groupies.

I guess the judges will simply ignore his poor legs and subpar back.  His chest, shouders and tris have always been his best body parts.

This super heavy stuff will only lead to another injury.

Yes, they will ignore his legs (especially his calves) and subpar back and give him top 3 for chest, shoulders and tris.

Just stating a fact: Levrone tore his pec in 1993 and apparently, he injured his pec again in early 2016

Please be kind and impressed that he's lifting that heavy. 

He's reading the board. So haters can save their comments.
