Title: LEVRONE'S UPPERBODY STRONGER THAN COLEMAN'S IN THEIR PRIMES?
Post by: Camel Jockey on July 06, 2007, 07:27:49 AM
I CERTAINLY THINK SO! BIG KEV BENCH 495 FOR LIKE 4 WITH BETTER FORM THAN BIG RON! BIG KEV ALSO BEHIND THE NECK SMITH PRESSED 4 PLATES!

POUND FOR POUND, KEVIN LEVRONE = PROBABLY THE STRONGEST UPPERBODYBUILDER EVER!

SHAME HE LOST TO SOME YELLOW TOOTHED FRIDGE NAMED DORIAN YATES.

uh oh, you are putting Bluto in a very awkward position.  He is going to be torn between which BBer he wants to support in an ironic way.

Ronnie does his 495 AFTER doing 405 for ten.Kevin did 405 for how many?Then Ronnie knocks out an easy 10 on the incline bench with 405.In his other video he toys with 200 pound dbs.Its not even close.By the way,Ronnie doesnt need a smith machine,he uses straight weight and does 315 for twelve in the seated military press.

on battle for the olympia 98, kevin does

405 for 6-8, 455 for 6, and then 500 for 3 or so. 

on inclines, 405 for 6 and 455 for 4.

all were done without the spotters hands on the bar, unlike dobson, and 2 weeks before the olympia.

whoever is stronger on presses, it aint by that much.

Why don't we talk about Kevin's "FULL BLOWN" video  ;D

You know, where he does his heavy set with 120lb DB's and talks about it as "serious weight"  :o

Ronnie's consistently strong, not just before the Olympia which is when Kev's jacked to the gills and full blown on sauce  :P

BIG RON IS JACKED ALL THE TIME AND ON GH! BIG KEV HAS NO ALIEN GUT TO SPEAK OF AND HANDLES MUCH OF THE SAME WEIGHT WITH A SMALLER FRAME!

I THINK POUND FOR POUND, BIG KEV WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOFOS ON THE BBING SCENE.

THESE DAYS, CLOWNS LIKE JONNY "WILL NEVER BE MR. O, AND NO CALVES" JACKSON STRUGGLE WITH 405. AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY REAL CHALLANGE TO BIG RON IN TERMS OF SHEER STRENGTH.


BOOM!

From what I have seen I think they are quite close in their all-time peak pressing power with Levrone having the possible edge.  I think Ronnie is clearly superior in overall strength.

In terms of upper body push strength I've heard and read the same.

Overall though Ronnie takes the cake.

Anyone know for sure what weights Levrone pushed years ago?

Post by: Bear on July 06, 2007, 04:30:50 PM
Surely Kev's never done a set on video of 495 for 5 like Ronnie has? Maybe 3 or 4 with a forced rep.
Plus like someone above said Ronnie could famously do a proper set of 12 reps on the 200s in his prime, where does Kev match this? Until either of these are beaten with documented proof Kev cannot be called stronger on pressing movements, although it's obviously close. Perhaps waist to strength ratio or something...but that is not the same as actual strength i.e. who can lift the most weight, which, to clarify, is Ron. :D

honestly i think kevin is stronger on the barbell bench press then ronnie.

in m3 he did 4 FULL reps with 495 that was right after 405 for 6 full reps.  Full meaning right down to the chest and near lockout at the top.

Ronnie did 3 partials and one full final rep with 495 in his video, right after he did 9 partials and one full rep with 405.  Now i know doing partial reps puts more tension on the pecs, but you could argue that doing a full rep is much harder. 

i doubt kevin could do 200lb db on the flat for 12 though. 

either way they're both stronger then "the worlds strongest bodybuilder ::) ::) ::)" JOJ

He's strong, but struggled with 405 on the bench. Kev and Ronnie in their primes were far stronger than JJ in terms of upperbody lifts. Plus J0J's form is shit.

I also hear Kevin had very strong legs before he hurt his knee or something. Someone speak on this.

Post by: slaveboy1980 on July 07, 2007, 04:45:03 AM
kevin and ronnie are almost the same strength in pressing movements. I would say kevin has a slight edge in the benchpress and ronnie is  a bit stronger with dbs. I know levrone used to use 180lbs db. ronnie did 200lbs dbs. Kevin was stronger in the benchpress before he tore his peck and used more weight in the bench press than ronnie ever did.

dont forget that kevin was a  very strong squatter before he fucked up his back..and did 700lbs+ for a few reps.
