of course he did ::)
there's a better chance of milos squating 225 for 3 then that.

check out his legpress technique in any of his vids.
that will give you a good idea.

I'm glad you brought this up, for the last 3,5 years I haven't got any sleep worrying about this subject...

hahahahaha, he claimed to use 18 45lb. plates on each side as well.

Ronnie squatted a heavy double with 800 lbs, right?
Fully equipped, although the wraps could've been tighter, probably the suit too. But equipped nevertheless.
Levrone was supposedly an awesome squatter back in the days, but I have a hard time he would surpass Ronnie.
7 reps with 700 lbs @ a bodyweight of cerca 240-250 lbs (around 1992-1994 probably), belt only...
No fcuking way.
But it's probably not Levrone's fault, didn't someone post awhile back about how FLEX always added 100 lbs to every lift? So 7 reps with 600 lbs, that's still crazy, and especially at that bodyweight.
BTW, I think Greg Merritt was supposed to be the guy who added the poundages to all his articles, is he the guy who wrote the Levrone article?

I'm shocked that bodybuilders exaggerate their lifts.

Earl1972 should be along shortly to claim that Levrone was actually understating his poundages - in order to spare the other pros' feelings.
-
i think he could do it.
Melvin can do it couple of it so..

thats absolutely true...my friend Magic Dane used to squat with Kev back in the day...i never witnessed it personally but Magic used to always try and compete with kev..and i've seen magic put up 700 for a triple..and magic always said kev ws way stronger..
now if i could only get in touch with magic..i'd make him come here and confirm that...he used to own a powerhouse in centerville VA but when i 411 for it now the lady tells me there r no pwerhouse gyms in the area..so he prolly changed the name of the gym..
WTF r ya magic? ..this is J...

AHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, I remember an episode of FLEX Workout with Boyer Coe, Shawn Ray and Kevin where Boyer asked Kevin about his regular poundages and Kevin said, "550lb bench presses and 800lb squats for reps."

i'm pretty sure kevs doubled 800..and thats from before he turned pro..
-
i'm pretty sure kevs doubled 800..and thats from before he turned pro..
I believe it's possible that he squatted 1 or 2 reps with 800lbs, but he made it sound like he squatted and pressed those poundages weekly for 8-10 reps.

nah....i'm pretty sure i heard magic say once that kev tripled 800 ...again..this ws before he turned pro and ws training more like a powerlifter..
kev used to work for magic back then....think kev helped magic run muscle beach..a bbing clothes store in OC maryland..
-
Most likely on the machine. I read somewhere that he could shoulder press 405 pounds.. well then I saw it was on you guessed it a machine. Most pros do that.
-
There is a dude at my gym that squats 700lbs. This dude is 215 lbs at 5'5. He is thick. I bet Levrone could hit 700 for 7 back in 1992. Levrone used to be 270-280 in the off season back then. (I saw that leg training episode where he made the claim)
-
Levrone was one of the strongest pros genetically, however, had had a lower body injury which prevented him from training legs heavy after 95 or so, hence his lower body atrophy. I would not put a 700lb squat past levrone.
-
i could see 700 for a double but 7reps seems like alot.
-
i think he could do it.
Melvin can do it couple of it so..
Not the picture I was looking for, but Ron took some pics of Melvin doing what i remember to be 700+ some years ago.

Well I've never thought that Melvin could do that heavy squat. Very good form... Strong guy...

Melvin has great legs Im not suprised
-
He could probably walk it out of the rack...down to parallel, no way I buy that.
-
no one here probably remembers him but i watched mike quinn squat 700 for i think 2 reps, bench 465 for 3.

I believe! He was a very strong guy, I think that really was naturally strong...
-
I'm guessing that Kevin was referring to "hack" squats. 800 on the free bar? Damn that's some good crack! I woulda never guess he even smoked it! ;D
-
of course he did ::)
there's a better chance of milos squating 225 for 3 then that.
umm..lets not get carried away with the hyperboles here. 1 rep with a spotter maybe, but not 3
-
That's why Kevin blew his lower back. I believe it's still hurting him. He used to bench heavy, no doubt, but he's paying for it these days
-
I wouldnt be suprised if it was the truth or very close to the truth.I have squated 635lbs (6 plates a side plus 25s)for 5 good reps beyond parallel at a bodyweight of 275lbs with knee wraps and a good belt.
Peace D

If Arvilla squatted 600, yes maybe Levrone is telling the truth.

LOL GOOD POINT!!!!
You see the Squadfather sucking up to Arvilla in every way possible and believing without a doubt his fabricated numbers but
If there is a guy 20 times better and bigger then arvilla who squats a 100 pound more.
Squadfather OWNED!

Arvilla was benching 500+ for doubles back in the day too. I gotta call bullshit on that. That makes him stronger than many of the strong guys I grew up watching train like Tony Atlas, Rocky Johnson, Ken Patera, Ivan Putski etc...

any claim of poundage,,,,if done at all,, is done NOT on a regular basis,,in specific cases for specific purposes,,photo shots,,video,,dvd etc
overall we put on the rack two 45 pounder plates each side and usually climb to 4-5-6 a side and that is where we stop,,,also using lots of smith for squats where we can go heavy with no spotters,,
anyone who tell you otherwize is either lie to you or knows jack shit about building muscle for bodybuilding purposes
follow the squats routine of your biggest local npc national competitor in your gym,,,he is usually 6-6'1 feet 280lb offseason at ~ 14% and will have on the rack 5-6 plates aside in a good! day,,nothing more

kevin did 700lbs for a few reps...talked to eye witnesses who saw him do it on a couple of occasions...but as gh15 says its top weight you dont do it more than maybe once (max 2times) times a year or your body would be fucked up.

IF KEVIN LEVRONE SAID HE DID IT, HE DID IT. He took second in the Mr. O 4 times. Not because he exagerated his loads, Squad. He really DID the work.
It would perhaps amuse you to check out his latest work since he's moved to
Hollywood. I assure you, here again, he's doing his own stunts.

For you, Squad, I'm a pussycat.
P.S. Do you at least have big forearms?
P.P.S. I suppose I'm ferociously supporting Mr. Levrone because
he came to visit me at the house a coupla days ago, and I saw the
physical transformations he can accomplish in 4 months time. He has
THAT kind of control over his mind...and body. Now pass me a forearm.
