Title: Kevin Levrone Squatting?
Post by: MarvinEderFan on October 08, 2007, 06:06:27 AM: The story is this:

Kevin used to squat a lot when he was younger - but then he injured his back which left him unable to do squats.

Levrone is one of my favorites, and his legs were pretty awesome back then -and word has it he was quite a strong squatter.

Anyone have any vids or pics?

there's been another thread about this but there weren't many replies so thought I'd give it a new chance.

I hear it everythime in the gym, my back is bad, my knees are bad ect ect, but for some reason they can do every other legexercise. If u have a ingury, rest! Then start lifting light and slowely increase the weights. If your knee hurt, take a rest for 2 weeks and then go on, its not a reason for the shit for the rest of your life. How come almost every powerlifter get back after an ingury???

Pain is just a way for the body to say: Ok, I just need a little bit more time to recover.

Sometimes I wonder how good regular back squats are-something seems very strange about holding several hundred pounds on your back and directly compressing your spine.
