I thought the same thing but never said it. He would do a lot for his thighs if he lightened the load and did them deep like Yates or Shawn Ray.  These shallow knee bends everyone does with the weight of a car is worthless.

His legs will be better than they were in 2016. Will they be as good as they were in the 90's? No. Will they be as good as they were in the early 2000's? Hopefully.

Kev would rather be big[ger than his 2016 self].

I think he said he was 245 at the time, and later said 225 - I think 225 sounds about right.

Still though - Kev's parents both died before 70 as best as I can remember from his first DVD [correct me if I'm wrong, but it shows the tombstone at the end and it was something like that, but I could be mistaken.  To be honest, my website probably has that info, LOL].

For Kev's health, he should just be 190.  What's so amazing about Kev is that he looks good at ALL body weights - 180 - 200 - 220 - 240 - 260.

Other bodybuilders slim down and have giant hands and look to have a massive frame that needs to be filled - Kev does not have this issue, so why does he want to be so big?  He could look like a prime Mark Wahlberg at 65, and he just needs to be bodybuilding pro size for some reason?

Why?

Years ago, a Getbigger wrote an amazing post about the psychological state Gary Strydom was in to have made his comeback.  It was a sad and humbling read.

Getbig ultimately gets a lot of flak, but I believe everyone deep down, loves this board more than most others.  Say what you will about us, but we Getbiggers are an honest bunch.

Well I mean he has marketed himself well, or maybe someone who works for his supp company has put this all together. He obviously doesn't run all of that on his own, its just his name/brand put on existing products.

Remember that one BFTO video where he was living with that older couple... it was embarrassing. He was like a manchild. Plus all of the religious crap on his IG speaks of insecurities.

These guys. That's NOT 405. It's a Smith Machine. It is counterbalanced. It's around 375 (most of these machines rate the bar weight at around 15 pounds). And in reality (with a free bar), probably worth even less.

Two things, "chuckles":

1) Don't care what poundage he uses, but when a lifter states a resistance that it is not, that's bullshit. Either Kevin is a liar and is counting on know-nothings to eat it all up, or he's surprisingly ignorant about such nuances of different lifting apparatus.

2) Truly knowledgeable lifters understand the greater potential for injury using a Smith Machine. Especially when using weight as Kevin is in that video.

Hope this helps, "chuckles".

Ha ha ha what an assclown. Upper body Kevin Levrone destroys Strydom. Shoulders are the only area Strydom may have equal Levrone. Although given hell for thickness, Kevin was wide as hell and would destroy Strydom from the back. Now legs, yes, I agree Strydom is better. But Levrone would overpower at 245 and shredded. No contest. Look at how Strydom got humiliated by Haney it was a laughfest.

Yeah no... Strydom was no joke in WBF. He matches up well with Kevin's best bodyparts and is way taller.

What exactly is there to hate?? It’s not like Kevin is world reknown compared to a Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt, only a small percentage of people know him and really, there is nothing to be jealous or hate about.

The term “haters” is for immature pubescent boys

I think they're rewriting history by stating that because a prime Gary Strydom was better than a 52 year old Kevin Levrone, then Gary must be a better bodybuilder than Kevin. Irrational logic, I know.
