Cool guests. Ask Levrone about the synthol allegations?
Ask Ron what does it feel like to have the best board in BB?
-
Plus: A look around the industry with special guest Ron Avidan
Yaroni will be on?
Teh Awesome!
I will actually listen this week. Please tell Bob to be less verbose than usual so as to avoid annoying me. Thanks! ;D
-
Question thats gotta be answered once and for all......is Levrone pronounced "Le-vro-nEE" or "Le-vrown"? ;D Cool getting Kevin back on, true icon.
-
"Le-vro-nEE"
there's your answer
E
-
Is the "question of the week" for Kevin or Ronald?
Kevin - Why isn't Special Ed your agent any more?
Ron - Why do you let your mods delete valid threads and still continue to have mod powers?
-
Ask Kevin if he will contemplate competing again now that the power has shifted and a new Mr. Olympia can be crowned.

If Kevin can make even 500K a film which is low by Hollywood standards he'd still be doing better than any bodybuilder. This is assuming he doesn't take roles such as "henchman #3" or "guy in gym" ;D

Wow! Great questions Ike! You should have your own radio show!! ;D
-
Great show lineup!
Ask Kevin how being in the hollywood scene differs from the Venice scene.
And yes I think Ron needs to be asked what he thinks about having the best bbing board!

I don't think 'the Maryland Muscle Machine' was ever really part of the "Venice scene" (probably one of the reasons for his success actually)

That is very true. Hopefully Redline works out for him, I saw the previews, even though it looks wicked cheesy, but still a start.
-

I meant bodybuilding as a whole.
-
I am looking forward to see if Kev is tempted to do a bb comeback?
-
Ron - Why do you let your mods delete valid threads and still continue to have mod powers?
are you talking about your buddy Shawn deleting Milos's threads ? ;D
-
The very lovely Nadia Bjorlin, Kevin's co-star in the movie.
I'd like to know if the rumor I'm starting (that Kev's cardio on the movie set consisted of taking walks to Nadia's tralier between takes) is true.
Dan & Bob, please ask Hollywood about this.
-
Ask Kevin if his recent post on GetBig regarding a potential Olympia comeback this year, with only 16 weeks to go, is true or him just trying to get more views for his thread about the movie by mustering up false rumors of a comeback that will in turn allow for others to keep noticing the advertising for red october.

You also want a visit to your trailer?

From Levrone, not so much.

Shawn is probably deleting them because people will lose intrest in his own "muscle camps"
-
40 minutes.
Nadia.
Don't let us down!
-
She was on Days of Our Lives a few years back. She played Chloe. Don't ask me how I know ;D
-
Ron Avidan is on tonight.
-
should be a great episode!
-
Nice job of selling Dexter down the river Dave. So to answer Dan's question - No, Dexter didn't tell you anything.
-
Bob calls Dex a big phony.
-
Dave praises Chris showing up to workout like it's some kind of special accomplishment. ::)
-
YO YO YO YO YO !!! Chris thamothafuckin' Cormier is thamothafucking back biatches ! ;D

Kevin laughs nervously when asked if all the car crashes are a publicity stunt.

Kevin enjoyed "working with" "the beautiful Nadia". :-*

We hurt Kevin's feelings when we "didn't understand" what he was doing.

Kevin's a "method actor".

Kevin says he still plans to win the Olympia.

-
How old is Kev-O?
He'll be 42 in July.
Says he can be ready for the Olympia at 245 pounds "in 18 to 20 weeks" using "supplements".

LEVRONE VIOLATES GUTLER
-
When has this ever worked before..... Kev could ruin his legacy.
-
Actually, Kevin has come a long way. He -> Suprised Debussey. Debussey sends its blessings.

Debussey -> Not in timeout yet ??? ???
-
He said he could, but Dan/Bob ask him if HE WILL compete in 2007. Doesn't Kevin have to requalify to compete in the Olympia?

True but dont you guys think the circumstances are diff. Kev has never won the O to begin with.

Good point.
Chick?

They would SO give levrone a gift qualification.
If not, I bet a guy named Wayne would happily offer him some stage time.

Ease down, chief....

Debussey got a final warning. Whoever tried to lobby for Debusseys time out (HI shem***) failed. The great Ron Avidan's forgiving nature saved Debussey once again.
;D

He'd have Cutler beat on shape and cuts.
He'd have way less flaws than Ronnie.
He'd have WAY better shape than the recently-melting Vic M.
Kev might have the LEAST wrong with him. Top 2, if he brings in good legs.

Debussey is happy for you Hurl Earl Garbaldo! You are recognized by the great Levrone.

hasn't he beat all those guys at one time
i know for sure he beat ronnie and jay, not sure about dorian
-
Ron calls Lee a two-face.
-
Ron tells it like he sees it you have to respect that.
-
Ron says no Titus/Ryan trial until 2008.
-
Ron says burning corpses in Nevada is A-OK.
-
he wouldn't expect to win, but top 5 for sure. he would own dexter and melvin
I could see that happening. Not a knock against Kev.. I think he may be playing with his legacy here tho. If he has a bad showing it could take away from how great he was.
-
Free speech.... "report to moderator" ;D
-
Ron is trying to lose weight.
-
Ron admits to be fat ;D --> then Dan hits on him ;D
-
is ron still fat?
;D
-
The music is playing and there's sponsor annoucements ;D !!!
-
Getbig is the best bb'ing site on the internet bar none, Ron should be proud, honestly is there another board like getbig? we're all like a family here, we bash on one another but we all feel at home here.

Ron "spilt over" ;D

I would love to see Levrone back on stage, but I would be surprised if it happens.
He was always known for getting off the juice during the offseason and getting under his contest weight, but he was never as small as he is now. Don't know if he has enough time to put it all together. Especially if he doesn't get a special invite to the O and has to do a qualifier.
Also he had that hernia issue the last couple of years that he competed and it prevented him from properly training legs. It would be a waste of time for him to comeback, if his legs aren't improved from the last time we saw him on stage.
-
Stop spilling your gut fat f.a.g...
hahahahahahaha. ;D
-
kev, at his absolute best could take anyone in the field right now..problem is can he get back to where he was, his legs were less than stellar a few years ago and even at his biggest-96 arnold?-he's still 20lbs lighter than jay. Now usually I'd be the last person to say weight is an issue but bottom line is it mattrs to the olympia judges for some reason, they want the biggest guys at the top.
If he can come back and be the best he's been then I'd love to see it, might be to late but who knows?
-
Why? Why the madness? Did Kevin also buy a new red Corvette and some new clothes?
-
I WILL SAY IT RIGHT NOW..THERE IS NO WAY THAT KEVIN LEVERONE WILL WIN THE MR. O
-
For what it's worth (nothing, if you ask me): If he wins this year's O, he'd still be several months younger than Dickerson was in 1982.
-
He said he could, but Dan/Bob ask him if HE WILL compete in 2007. Doesn't Kevin have to requalify to compete in the Olympia?
I'm sure a special invite would be considered...
There should be few circumstances in which a special invite is awarded....a perenial top 5 Olympian now retired would be one of those.

Kevin won't compete in the Olympia. Unless of course they want a 240lb guy in the Redline II that he mentioned he's starting to work on, as well as the other project he recently landed.
Good interview aside from you guys not asking him if he would do the Olympia not if he could.
Ronbo - FYI it is a felony for burning a car in Nevada, especially with a body in the trunk. They will undoubtly be convicted of felony arson.

On the other hand, by the time they're convicted, they'll have already served more time than they would be sentenced to.

Doubtful on a third degree felony arson charge, but hey OJ is out. So anything is possible.

LMAO!
Or how about Bob get off the boards, actually go and train, compete in a REAL show, then go back on the boards and get bashed for looking like shit, and then record it all and play it on bodybuilding.com

it may take him 4 months to go to 240 in contest shape but i can tell ya he could be back down under 200 pounds in less then 5 weeks afterward...

I think Craig was charged with arson - third degree. Here is the info on that...
NRS 205.020 Third degree. A person who willfully and maliciously sets fire to or burns or causes to be burned, or who aids, counsels or procures the burning of:
1. Any unoccupied personal property of another which has the value of $25 or more;
2. Any unoccupied personal property owned by him in which another person has a legal interest; or
3. Any timber, forest, shrubbery, crops, grass, vegetation or other flammable material not his own, is guilty of arson in the third degree which is a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130.
NRS 193.130 Categories and punishment of felonies.
1. Except when a person is convicted of a category A felony, and except as otherwise provided by specific statute, a person convicted of a felony shall be sentenced to a minimum term and a maximum term of imprisonment which must be within the limits prescribed by the applicable statute, unless the statute in force at the time of commission of the felony prescribed a different penalty. The minimum term of imprisonment that may be imposed must not exceed 40 percent of the maximum term imposed.
2. Except as otherwise provided by specific statute, for each felony committed on or after July 1, 1995:
(a) A category A felony is a felony for which a sentence of death or imprisonment in the state prison for life with or without the possibility of parole may be imposed, as provided by specific statute.
(b) A category B felony is a felony for which the minimum term of imprisonment in the state prison that may be imposed is not less than 1 year and the maximum term of imprisonment that may be imposed is not more than 20 years, as provided by specific statute.
(c) A category C felony is a felony for which a court shall sentence a convicted person to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 5 years. In addition to any other penalty, the court may impose a fine of not more than $10,000, unless a greater fine is authorized or required by statute.
(d) A category D felony is a felony for which a court shall sentence a convicted person to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 4 years. In addition to any other penalty, the court may impose a fine of not more than $5,000, unless a greater fine is authorized or required by statute.
(e) A category E felony is a felony for which a court shall sentence a convicted person to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 4 years. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 176A.100, upon sentencing a person who is found guilty of a category E felony, the court shall suspend the execution of the sentence and grant probation to the person upon such conditions as the court deems appropriate. Such conditions of probation may include, but are not limited to, requiring the person to serve a term of confinement of not more than 1 year in the county jail. In addition to any other penalty, the court may impose a fine of not more than $5,000, unless a greater penalty is authorized or required by statute.

And the kidnapping and murder charges.
-
Now that gets more complicated, but we were talking about the arson charge. Unless the prosecution can prove that she was alive, not sure what the kidnapping charge is there for. As for the murder charge, well, that is what the trial will be all about. But I ask you - can you tell me, without a reason of a doubt, the Titus or Ryan killed her, or is there any lingering doubts at all, that she might of overdosed, that there was something else going on, etc. When the trial starts, it should be very interesting, but right now, we are awaiting to see if the Nevada Supreme Court listens to the arguement on who should be Kelly's lawyer.
Next court date is May 3rd - for the status check on the appeal issue.
Then, if the appeal is denied, pre-trial is May 29th, then the trial begins June 4th...
-
If Craig and Kelly burned the car, no doubt they either killed her or covered up an overdose. I don't see how anything aside from one of those two options would have been going on.
-
From Nadia? Yes.
From Levrone, not so much.
I thought you had a woman?
-Hedge
-
If Levrone can bring his A game he absolutely PWNS Cutler.
No contest.
i bet his receptors are fresh as a fucking daisy right now too ;D
how would u know?...u never took steroids right? maybe u heard the boys talking about it...:)
-
earl, is kevin circumzised?
LOL!!!!
:-X
Kev is going on 42 but looks late twenties.
-
Kevin will not win the sandow for the simple fact he'll never be able to bring his legs up to the standard they need to be.
I bet he'll look far better than most of the guys onstage though. No gut. Good lines etc
-
Bah. >:(
He couldn't beat Dorian, he couldn't beat Ronnie, and he can't beat Jay.
Pure Logic.
-
I don't even believe that he actually wants to try it... Kevin was great indeed, but at the age of 42, and weighting probably 80 kgs, it is completely out of his league to reach 115 kg of pure shreded mass with great big, conditioned legs! I think it is very, very unlikely...
-
I thought you had a woman?

I do.
Sha can have a turn with Nadia too, I'm all about sharing.

Quote from: 240 or bust on June 15, 2005, 07:35:43 PM
Hi Cheap Stomach,
I'm glad you asked. I get asked all the time about my squatting numbers and I'm always happy to help a young fan.
One fateful summer, I got that free rack, a Sports Authority set, and started. I squatted 2 times a week for one heavy set of 20 reps. Now and then I'd add deads or benching, but most of the time, it was just squats. I pigged out at the same time- I had just quit teaching and had nothing to do but lift, eat, and play PS2.
By the end of the summer I had gained 30 pounds (most was muscle- i finally filled out) and I was regularly doing 300 pounds to parallel for 20-rep squats, just like the internet article I had read had described. (We've all read that one- and it works!) It was at this time I joined a gym and started to break weights over 300.
315... 335... 355... the weights went up as my reps begain to dip below 20. I always had a spotter or two, and usually finished without assistance. Soon I was using 405, with 2 spotters, every other weekend on Sunday, with knee wraps. I got up to 8 or so very sickening reps that first time, and nearly sharted. Rough day. But I continued on. It got easier as I hit the early 420 and 430s.
Hurricane Charley came shortly thereafter and destroyed my beloved SOS Gym in Pt Charlotte, FL. So, I joined a new gym in the fall. By this time, I was working a ton and attending FT classes. I started doing cardio- for the first time in 2 years- and couldn't run 1/8 mile without stopping. Shinsplints followed. But after a while, the cardio came easier for me.
Today I usually squat without a spotter and typically don't go over 315 for 10 slow safe reps. I don't use wraps, and I don't weigh 220 anymore. I'm at 191 today. My knees ache most days from the cardio, so I am careful about risking heavy leg work while dieting.
Cheap Stomach, I thank you for your letter. Best wishes in all your endeavors. Also, I feel my placing at the Ironman this year was due to the fact that I am too involved in politics and that I defended my wife's Olympia placing. Peace.
-240 or Bust.
-Hedge
edit: Hurricane Charley was in the summer of 2004. So a little over two and half years ago.

ah yes, the good old days. how i miss them.
