Title: LEVRONE's back weak?
Post by: Nether Animal on May 22, 2016, 04:34:20 PM

I would say great back (Back then) Show his back in 2003 on stage? My point is 1994 and 2016 are different, and I'm a Levrone fan. I'm more worried about his wheels!

No I know. I'm not talking about his supposed return or anything. But at one time he was very complete.

IMO '98 NOC was his best ever, after that his back injury started costing him leg size, but he lost size all over.

Yeah, his physique was INSANE then. Everything was on point! 91-98 he was great. I like his 96 Arnold Classic physique. He won that year over flex. I thought he had the right balance between size and conditioning. Those pics are amazing. Total package. Those Delts and Triceps !!!! :o His 94,96, Arnold classic physique, as well as his 97 Grand Prix physique with the silver trunks, are my faves..

In that top pic, his back is wafer thin, lacking in detail and hugely overpowered by his delts and arms.

And that's 20 years ago.

Dude's making a colossal mistake.

I'd say that's a damn good back!

1994
Four years later, the man in the background (Ronnie Coleman) would win it all, and would never look back.

Kevin's back was good in the 90's, but once 2000 hit, it wasn't that great.

I honestly do not think he will make it to the stage....I want him to.....but I do not see it happening.

Compared to Phil weak as fuck. Phil is on another level.

Any direct comparison pics?

Kevin was shredded in 93, but could not find any back pics. No one had any bloated guts back then. That's one glaring observation!

sick build but his triceps kind of overshadows his back in the rear poses

Kevin needs to leave his legacy intact and leave it alone. I say he will come to his senses as we get closer to the O, and he bows out.

Kevin's back when doing the lat spread isn't that bad, it's when he does the dbb pose that is weak

As much as getbig hates to admit it, Phil has one of he best rear biceps shot in the sport, near perfection...

Levrone's arms and especially delts were superior though.

Do we hate to admit it?

I don't think so.

We just hate his structural flaws and the way he detriments bodybuilding by being the champion, yet being not particularly impressive most of the time.

Obviously, there are elements to him that are outstanding - he is rightly Mr Olympia, given the competition.

I'd say top 3 best in the history of the sport. Only outdone by Coleman and maybe Yates.

Kevin's back was good in the 90's, but once 2000 hit, it wasn't that great.

The funny thing was, in 2000 Kevin's upper body looked huge from the side, but he was totally outclassed from behind. I think he overdieted in 2000 or maybe he didn't train his back well leading up to the show. His back as flat as fuck even by his standard.

'95 he was way better.

Is it just me or does Kevin look heavier in 2000 than he did in 1999?

2000 was an interesting year. He must have tried something different. His waistline was a lot larger as well.

Kevin should get a wig and put some shorts on   And try men's physique.

He could go from dead last to top three in one year.
