Title: Levrone feels like a soilder?
Post by: growthfactor on December 25, 2006, 01:57:44 PM
in his video he says everytime he's half-assing a workout he'll look up at the american flag and remember all the lives the soilders gave so that he could workout... ermmm somehow i don't think all those lives were lost so levrone could compete in the ifbb...

so in conclusion, kevin you are NOT a soilder... :)

but full blown has sold more CD's than kevin federline!

Whenever I hear that spiel he made I feel very embarassed for Kevin.  I feel embarassed because I clock it for a horrendous attempt at being "epic" when in fact it seemed like a half baked piece of bad PR.

that's not what he meant at all moron.  he said that them fighting and dieing for the US is what allows him to do what he does, and anytime he's half assing it he looks up at the flag and remembers that fact and stops half assing it out of respect and appreciation for out great soldiers fallen and alive.

our military is what has kept, and keeps us safe.  no 2 ways about it.  whether you want to be an idiot liberal and argue whether some particular war current or in the past that the US is/was involved in did or did not keep the US and its citizens safe is irrelevant.  without our soldiers we would be nothing, that's a fact.

i gotcha. just checking. you believe the whole "unless we send our young, poor, uneducated, fooled soldiers to some far-away land to fight for whatever reason, our freedom is threaten'-story. i dont. we'll just have to leave it at that or this will be moved to the politics board and become one of those 200 pages threads (where 240 joins in the middle and starts to post conspiracy theories)

He used to pop ecstasy every now and then. Used to hang out with him quite a bit when he lived in Maryland and owned his gym. Walked up to me and kissed me on the cheek before he started his music set at a bar he used to sing at. Weird but I understood. Ex makes you do stupid shit sometimes that you wouldn't normally otherwise do.

He absolutely used to suck down beer before he hit the stage during the evening portion of the show. Said it helped with nervousness before his posing routine.

Levrone was definitely a quirky guy. Very bi polar too. Decent enough guy but he let his popularity as a bodybuilder get to his head sometimes. I think he needed to be reminded that he lifted weights for a living and that no one outside of the sport knew who the fuck he was.

yeah, we're the ones who are over there fighting in ''your'' war. no one attacked our country and yet we're in it day in day out backing you guys - moron.

same for ww1,ww2 and vietnam- arseclown.

so i think we've earnt the right to comment on soldiers and sacrifice.

and we do it all the whilst fropm an economy that provides free healthcare, free unemployment benefits, free education, housing...just to name  few.

i still cant get over being in the US and seeing some guy step out of his bmw and literally over some other guy sleeping under a piece of plastic so he could get to the restaurant and eat dinner.....yeah really worth fighting for.

that video its very cool, but for entertainment purposes, i prefer Leeīs and Colemanīs...'notin but a peanut..."

He was an okay guy to hang with. But he had a really bad habit of pissing off people he called 'friends'. There was dude I knew that just got dumped by a bad ass looking hottie. Kevin and this guy were supposedly friends at the time. The hottie was a gold digging bitch and she threw herself at Kevin and he did the natural thing and fucked her. But he completely fucked over his boy who he knew was still hung up about the girl. This guy helped him train and get ready for shows on occassion and they hung out quite a bit. It was pretty shitty for him to do that, in my opinion but we all make mistakes I guess.
Kevin stood at the top of the fence when it came to deciding what race he elected to embrace(im sure everyone knows that Kev is bi-racial) rather than choose a side. He had white friends with money he choose to align himself with to fit a purpose and he would act white as far as speech and personality. When his black hangers-on croonies would come by the gym he would immediantly shift personalities to a yo boy attitude and act likeadick to certain white people he knew in front of his ass kissing posse. Then it would be vice versa when hiswhite friends were around. He was always putting on a front.
The Smiths? He co owned his gym in MD with Mrs. Smith as a business partner. The Smith's hired people to deal with food prep. Everyday when training he would eat the same shit six times a day. Fresh cod or orange roughy, yams, and spinach. They meals would be there in big plastic containers freshly prepared. He would eat by himself in the nutrition and health bar in the gym. If you made eye contact with him while eating he looked like a fucking rottweiler that you just stole food from. Dieting made that dude grumpy as hell but I understood all that.

During contest training?

No. Just went light on leg days because of a hernia operation in the late 90's. Strong as a f**cker with upper body exercises. I'm talking 2-4 weeks out benching 5 plates for lots of reps. That's contest strength, not off season strength. Was definitely one of the strongest pros competing during his time.

No. Just went light on leg days because of a hernia operation in the late 90's. Strong as a f**cker with upper body exercises. I'm talking 2-4 weeks out benching 5 plates for lots of reps. That's contest strength, not off season strength. Was definitely one of the strongest pros competing during his time.

thanks bro for the info. what do you remember about his training split. did he go to failure.? what happened to ghani?

i heard he did chest/shoulder/triceps : back/biceps  : legs...

Ghani Walee. I miss that guy. He was a trip. Not sure what happened to him. Soon as Kev moved to CA, he disappeared.

Training split. Wasn't privy to that info.

Kev said in Flex that he had to get rid of Ghani as a workout partner, because all he did was yell at him to lift weight, but did nothin else. This was back in 99-01. Now back in the mid 90's he siad Ghani was the best training partner he had, because dude just came out of prison, and he motivated Kev, he told Kev that dudes were lifted heavier than he was in prison.

The Smiths? He co owned his gym in MD with Mrs. Smith as a business partner. The Smith's hired people to deal with food prep. Everyday when training he would eat the same shit six times a day. Fresh cod or orange roughy, yams, and spinach. They meals would be there in big plastic containers freshly prepared. He would eat by himself in the nutrition and health bar in the gym. If you made eye contact with him while eating he looked like a fucking rottweiler that you just stole food from. Dieting made that dude grumpy as hell but I understood all that.

Thanks for the interesting info, man. I would guess a man like Kevin very easy could wind up thinking he was "God".
I have seen it with friends that got "big". The body isn't the only thing that becomes big, their ego grows twice as
much. Too bad. There comes a time like it did with Kevin when your back to normal again.

Yeah, I would guess that the main reason why Kevin behaved so strangely in M3 was because of the low carb diet.
I find it very hard to believe that such a determined person would use drugs(E, coke, whatever) under the precontest prep.
That could hurt him - competitionwise.

Title: Re: Levrone feels like a soilder?
Post by: Parker on December 26, 2006, 04:52:55 PM
He was an okay guy to hang with. But he had a really bad habit of pissing off people he called 'friends'. There was dude I knew that just got dumped by a bad ass looking hottie. Kevin and this guy were supposedly friends at the time. The hottie was a gold digging bitch and she threw herself at Kevin and he did the natural thing and fucked her. But he completely fucked over his boy who he knew was still hung up about the girl. This guy helped him train and get ready for shows on occassion and they hung out quite a bit. It was pretty shitty for him to do that, in my opinion but we all make mistakes I guess.
Kevin stood at the top of the fence when it came to deciding what race he elected to embrace(im sure everyone knows that Kev is bi-racial) rather than choose a side. He had white friends with money he choose to align himself with to fit a purpose and he would act white as far as speech and personality. When his black hangers-on croonies would come by the gym he would immediantly shift personalities to a yo boy attitude and act likeadick to certain white people he knew in front of his ass kissing posse. Then it would be vice versa when hiswhite friends were around. He was always putting on a front.
The Smiths? He co owned his gym in MD with Mrs. Smith as a business partner. The Smith's hired people to deal with food prep. Everyday when training he would eat the same shit six times a day.

I remember going to purchase a Flex mag back in 01, and it had Kev on the cover, and the girl at the counter, was like, "I just saw him at Cancun Catina". Said he was dancing with every hot chick there (her too).
People who went to church with him told me that he was a good man, and I aways wanted to meet him. They told me he had helped his cousin gain weight, only to have his cousin join the military. I wonder if it was the same cousin that was in M3. I can see him playing the "fence" game. Hopefully he is more humble now that he has a "spiritual advisor".

Don't know this by my self. But... I would guess in the offseason some pro bb do rec drugs.
But when they are in precontest mode witch take alot of discipline they would stay of rec
drugs. That would hurt them come competition day.
It just isn't logical when you're denying yourself almost "everything" and then you do drugs??

When I was at the 2003 Mr. O expo (I think it was 03) Kevin had his posse around him while people where trying to get his autograph and but his "fullblown" cd.  He seemed like a prick.

Later on that night my wife and I were in the audience and there was this hot girl sitting in front of us and as Kevin was posing she was posing with him.  My wife asked her to sit down and she yelled that she did his choreography and continued to pose.  Anyway she was on something that night cause she would stay still and she fell out of her seat.  I think she was on X.

you're an aussie, shut the f**k up.  levrone is a great man for showing his respect for our soldiers.

I've not a single drop of aussie blood in me.

I'm not criticising the act of respecting soldiers, just pointing out that he was extremely insincere.  To the point where you feel embarassed for someone "acting" that poorly.

As for Levrone having a gun in his room, well.. those who have been around here long enough know that Levrone owed money to people around him.  Maybe he kept one with him just incase.

If he is a genetic freak how come he looks like a tennis player right now. I met Kevin in 1995, he truly was big, but no where near contest shape, but big, around 108/110 kgs. But surely he was still on drugs. A few months ago the genetic freak, looked like he was starving. I never admired a guy that only traine 5 monts per year, only depending on drugs.

Is your tax rate anything like it is in some countries in Europe?

Such as, in the 70% of income range?

If your government leaves you with peanuts from your paycheck, then all of the things you mentioned should be covered anyway.

To be fair and balanced, you should address this.

If you're talking about australia the answer is no, the taxation rate is not that high.  It is maximum of ~50%. 

If you've ever been to England you'll perceive a huge class difference whereas in australia there isn't really much differentiation atall, everybody is living a pretty high standard of life.  Whilst I am pure 100% english blood I will be the first to admit that life in Australia is great.  I think the US is probably pretty similar but I have a feeling that low income earners  are taken care of a little bit more in Aus.
