Post by: Deicide on June 16, 2008, 09:14:53 AM
If he were training, he would have a ripped athletic physique...

one guy did mention that he had his arse crack showing and was sticking his gut out....which was all part of the comedy element

it seems that kevin doesnt give a fuck what ppl think .....hes known to be able to get into any shape he wants quicker than any human on the planet..............

nuffin more to prove other than the fact that he can act

Yea i thought of that too....maybe hes just too busy to even workout.

Or he might did this "appearence" (stopped training and eating right) on purpose, just for the laughs and this role....hmmmm

it would be truly pathetic if he wouldnt have at least one bit of muscle on his arms since he were unofficial record holder of monster triceps.

Post by: Petrucci on June 16, 2008, 09:56:12 AM
the strangest thing its that he had ridicously poor shoulder and triceps....i guess he would hold more size in these two areas....

he still has some chest and traps and biceps, but thast about it...

man, and lets not talk about legs.... :-X

i just dont see how anyone can be so gigantic for so long, and then all of the sudden, completely loose interest in it...

at least guys like Yates, Rhul and some other maintain a good shape

The roar of battle had died away, the sun hung like a ball of crimson gold on the western hills. Across the trampled field of battle no squadrons thundered, no war-cry reverberated. Only the shrieks of the wounded and the moans of the dying rose to the circling vultures whose black wings swept closer and closer until they brushed the pallid faces in their flight.

Give him 18 weeks and he would very likely be top 10 in the Olympia and the winner of some pro shows even.  I would imagine the extended rest has done his body good.  He showed no signs of decline in 2003, I just suspect he wasn't even trying that year and he was still top six.  He would very likely be bigger than the vast majority of the board on as little as a month of dbol.

He is healthier and as you can see happier and more relaxed. Why would anyone consider suicide in such a case?

He's 43 years old. His goal is to be an actor now, not have a beach body or be on HRT for the rest of life looking like some giant Gorilla(Ronnie Coleman)

He's escaped the permenent effects that come with being a pro bodybuilder. He has no gut, droopy chin, disfigured face; instead he looks better than most 43 year olds, and that's amazing considering what he put his body though.

how did you you derive this?

more relaxed? the only other time we saw him was when he was flexing on a stage...

hes happier in this clip because HE'S ACTING!!!!! hes playing a part in a video.....

and healthy is relative....he may not look like a bloated freak now....but you cant say he is healthy until you read his medical charts...

Maybe for the motion picture industry, the directors and producers want him to look a certain way, and not in tip top shape.  After all, he is trying quite hard to make it in the movie business, which is not easy.

Excuses; it's really not that hard to have a little pride at any age and look good, especially with the knowledge and muscle memory. 43 is not old by any means, and lookin good helps in any field including acting.

What is wrong with being smaller than some huge muscle person?  I don't see why everybody on here is obsessed with being muscular and always worries about it, not everyone does.  Not many ppl care except you care how you look.  Kevin looks great, he is 40 something and in great shape.  He is buffer than most 40 something year olds, he did puff out his stomach in that clip and still looked better than those two men.  He is not lumbering around and sweating all day, proops to him for keeping it real.

Height wise and weight wise I'm about the same as Kevin, but he was purposely making himself look bad in that clip I think...presumably if he got pumped up and posed properly he would look better.  But who knows, it is absolutely clear he has lost a lot of size.

Since I have a similar build as Kevin right now, do you guys think I could prep for 18 weeks and be top 10 in the Olympia too?  ;D

You have a weird way of posing.

Not sure about the rest of you, but your arms wouldn't be as good as Kevin's because of your high muscle inserts.  ;D Could probably do well as an amateur I'm sure.

Interesting that you noticed that in that back picture.  It is very apparent in other poses and is definitely a setback.  I'm not seriously comparing myself to Kevin, just giving a general idea of the size he is down to these days.

Levrone is hilarious!!!

He's definitely got the right mindset and is probably the most mentally balanced pro BBer out there.

listening to him on Big Nation you can tell he's not wrapped up in his former glory and is able to laugh at the how crazy the BBing world is.

He doesnt have an ego and he even said he was disappointed he didnt look worse in the video and did everything possible to look that bad.

With better lighting, trunks, oil, and pumping up, he'd look about the same as before.  Still looks better than 99% of the population, and would still place high in IFBB competition with 3 months training.......... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

You are either dreaming my friend, under 20 yrs of age, or
an internet bodybuilder.

Dream on

Who had the better interview of Kevin Levrone? Big Nation or No Bull?

Yeah, it's kind of strange, lol.

And my net gains after using Higher Power M3: 0 pounds.  I think the stack did help me get through a recent strength plateau though.  Full review coming soon.

I am assuming that you're trying to gain mass, e.g. be a bodybuilder, so why do you do all of those 15 rep sets?

8-12 reps weren't working for me, so I decided to change it up and go higher on the reps...and that isn't working for me either, lol.

You have similar joints to mine, and I've always found heavy sets in the 5-6 rep range to be the best for me.

Maybe you ought to keep 5x5 as your bread and butter?

I've never done that before and I don't mind giving it a try.  I've only ever done your traditional bodybuilding rep range or higher (to change things up).  It seems like nothing works for me, although my strength is still consistently improving after 7.5 years of training.

Yes - a poor one.  Under 2,000 calories per day.  Are you saying this explains it?  :-\

pretty dumb workout. why do you do 16 reps with 225? ....save your energy..and do 3 sets with 275-285 instead. drop the decline bench

bar x 12
135x8(5)
185x5
225x3
250x1
then 3 sets with 275 or 285. when you can do 3x5...move up in weight
