Any of you guys seen pics or vids of levrone squatting?
you only see leg presses in Full Blown and the M3 vid.
I know he suffered a back injury in 95 or sometime around then and he could do 600 for 8-10 reps.
anyone seen vids or pics and can comment on his squatting stance and depth?
-
why?
-
Because I'd like to get an idea of his strength compared to Coleman's. Coleman's squats are medium wide stance and a deal over parallel.
Levrone was a strong presser, and so I wonder what his squats looked like.
and frankly I draw more inspiration from bodybuilding training than powerlifting training.
all i can find is this, btw.

but that may just be staged for the photoshoot.
-
Whatever Kevin did for his legs it certainly worked well. In M3 I say hacks, exts,, and some very heavy leg presses. Dorian stopped squatting early in his career in preference to hacks and presses too. Its safer to not squat alot when your legs become too powerful for your lower back.
-
he did over 700lbs (720lbs or so) for a few reps in the squat in the early 90s.
-
any of you guys seen the form he uses?

yeah he had great form and a close stance (abit wider than the pic tho) and went deep (thats how he got the great hamstrings he used to have +quads).

i think the guy is just looking for some inspiration

Yeah..
thanks for answering.
so his form was different than the pics...shoulder width stance?
what video did you see, btw? it's not in full blown or m3.
I think levrone is pretty inspirational - killer physique and legs (atleast before his back injury).

Hey mate, I'll be doing those scans soon - keep an eye out 8)

Don't think so. I have a whole bunch of FLEXs spanning the whole 90s (from 93 on) and maybe even 2000, 01 and 02. I was talking about scanning images from them

Kiwiol,
check out
Flex Oct 1992 (if you have it)
Flex Aug 1993,
both feature levrone leg training articles.. if it all possible, scan the images where he squats (IF he squats in those magazines..I'd assume he does).
You'd be doing me a huge favor.

I'll have a look dude. I used to buy them in Australia back when I was living there and the Aussie editions had lesser content than the US versions which I'd buy from time to time when I was flying out.
So I'll look into it and scan them if I come across them.

thanks man, I appreciate it. is very kind of you.

I haven't done anything yet, so don't get too ahead of yourself ;D. I'll do what I can mate - I don't remember having any pics of him squatting, although there are a couple of pics from circa 93. Gimme a couple of weeks or so
-
:D
well if there are any, they should be in oct. 1992 and aug. 1993...that is, in the american version. so it's only 2 magazines you'd have to look through.
but then again if you have a 1000 magazines then finding those 2 is a task in itself.
-

i believe it.
he is the strongest documented bber presser and his legs used to be huge, so why not?
-
I just saw his latest pic, hes down to 140 pounds. I doubt he could squat 115 pounds right now, and he certainly couldnt bench more than 85 pounds.
It must be those "superior genetics", not the drugs ::)
-
I used to train with Kev at his gym in Millersville, Md I've seen Kev squat 600 lbs for reps, The last time I suated with Kev was in 03' for the 03 Arnold . When he seriously trained for a show, he was stong as an ox !!!!!!!!!!

Can you decribe his squatting form/style ?
Thanks for the help.

Can't say anything about Kevin's style, but his 'fan' Earl's style is to simply squat in front of K Lo so former's mouth is aligned roughly 6 inches below the navel of latter
-
bullshit.
no it's no, he was a strong mofo, i could believe those numbers off season
-
bullshit.
not bullshit at all, he wasnt coleman strong in the squats but not that far off.
for reps doesnt mean its something you do every week for 10 reps. it was something like 3-4 reps and maybe try a couple of times per year.

if it makes you feel better, and your hungry, sure thing boy. :-*

if he really did it it should be easy enough to come up with a picturte or video then shouldn't it? hahahahaa, i love how you clowns who lie about lifts start name calling when you're caught instead of posting proof. ;D

hahahahaha, why because i call people on their bullshit? hahahaha, like i said if he did it post some proof, every other bodybuilder who has ever moved that type of weight either has it on video or has pictures of it.....oh wait, there were no cameras available in 1993 i guess, right? ;D

i dont have video of it but i talked to several people who trained in the same gym as he did and have seen him do it ( a couple of em even on 2 occasions)...as for the need of showing you proof everytime i claim something? lol you aint that important, squadfather.

hahahahahahhaa, oh brother another clown who trained with a guy who worked with a guy who trained with a guy who worked with a girl who's brother worked with a guy who knew a guy who did some plumbing work with a guy who's sister knew a guy who's brother trained at the same gym as Levrone and saw him do it". ;D
-
what back problem did he have?
i'm very interested in back problems

not lying at all.....but i wasnt there when he did it, and its always possible the people i talked to lied but i doubt (im a suspicous bastard too). but in this case i dont think so as the story has been confirmed by more than one people.
but yes bodybuilding is about gaping anuses, lying and obsessive narcissism.

yes you are lying and Levrone never squatted 750.
-

who said anything about 750? and no im not lying, but true i wasnt there.
-

sorry 720.
he did over 700lbs (720lbs or so) for a few reps in the squat in the early 90s.
-
Squad, I wouldn't doubt it so much.
Levrone had ridiculously huge legs before his back injury, which he sustained during squats.
You know he benched like 600 but then suffered a pec tear, right? So when he does 495 for 4 reps in M3 that was not his peak weight at all..
I am skeptic x 1000, but I simply see no reason to doubt these numbers.
Who can comment on his depth with the 720 or 600 for 8-10 anyways. They may have been slightly over parallel.
-
bullshit.
AHAAHAH!! In fact, Levrone once said on the old FLEX workout show that he squatted 800 lbs for reps.
