Renowned for his charitable endeavors, KEVIN LEVRONE recently visited the National Institutes of Health (NIH) complex in Bethesda, Maryland. He spent time at the Children's Inn, a temporary home to thousands of youngsters who come to NIH every year hoping to find a cure for their serious or terminal diseases.
Often, these experimental treatments are the children's last chance at life. Levrone spent quality time with these courageous kids and made a great impression on them and the staff. NIH official GARY THARPE told FLEX, "When very sick children and bodybuilding come together in the form of Kevin Levrone, internationally known bodybuilder, it can result in potent medicine for everyone involved. I was overwheimed that someone of his fame was more than willing to take time from training and other bodybuilding activities to spend the day with the children. Seeing the smiles on the faces of the children, as well as Kevin's, I learned something new about bodybuilding that day. It is not just.how big you are on the outside but on the inside as well."
So much negativity associated with professional bodybuilding things like this you don't hear much of , Kevin is a great guy for doing things like this ! Bravo Kevin you're a great guy.

Did whoever he saw at NIH even know who the fuck he was?
-
I dont really care about the holes in his physique, i would much rather look like him than any other bodybuilder...
-
Haha an ex drug abusing bodybuilder visiting children in the hospital and the NIH???????? LOL He'll fit in Hollywood perfectly.

very nice to hear

I disagree. Sounds to me like you're very interested in his holes.

Kevins my boyyyyy !

Yeah that's all nice and good but Kevin cares about Kevin.
-
Yeah that's all nice and good but Kevin cares about Kevin.
Exactly. It's all a front. If he really cares about children he should go to med school, be an RN or actually VOLUNTEER in a hospital.

no if he really cared he'd do what he was doing but without all the press hype and just do it on his own but i'm not gonna rip on the guy for helping kids.

ahh yesss ...but the hype and media will also aid putting BBg in a better light , no ?
If Levrone is being crapped on for this small stunt , i dont wish to see the verdict on arnolds career

like i said i'm not crapping on it at all because ANYTHING that you do to brighten a sick child's day is great just questioning the motive.

yes ND this is what I always said, there is more to being a Levroneite than just being in awe of his god lke physique 8)
damn he would've been a wonderful Mr. Olympia, the sport could've gotten better publicity and generated more money with this real life Super Man :-\

Levrone IS and always be a living legend in BB.

His motive was his mother which I believe died of cancer

He is not a good guy. He is notorious for his arrogance and bragging and the way he is condescending toward the less muscled than him. I once read a training article of Levrone in FLEX where he was braggging about how strong he is, how the peoplpe reading the mag are shit compared to him and would never lift like him, how much money he made because of his superior "discipline", etc. He's a jackass.

Hahah yeah he is a jackass you epic fucking genius! He's probably one of the dumbest fucking bodybuilders around. Rocks for brains.

"Haha an ex drug abusing bodybuilder visiting children in the hospital and the NIH?"
I disagree. Drug USING, yes. But so what, nothing wrong that.
Drug ABUSING, no. He knows what he is doing, and I don't think its fair to refer to him as an "abuser", which has negative connotations that I think are not applicable in his case.
By all accounts, he is a good guy. And he was an AWESOME bodybuilder.
-
Exactly. It's all a front. If he really cares about children he should go to med school, be an RN or actually VOLUNTEER in a hospital.
Maybe to some degree...However it doesn't take a genius to realize that what ever you put out, you get back 2 fold...Its the law of attraction...Kevin doing this type of shit is very very smart...

"He is notorious for his arrogance and bragging and the way he is condescending toward the less muscled than him"
I doubt that is true. But in any case, firstly at his peak he was quite entitled to brag. Anyone who looked as awesome as he did had the right to brag. He looked awesome, and there is nothing wrong in bragging if you have the goods to back it up! Arnie did it. Usain Bolt did it. Ali did it. Nothing with with telling the world you are the best, if you really are!
Secondly, if you have seen that recent vid of him, you will see that he really has no problem making fun of himself, and he does not seem at all concerned about his lost size. I would not consider that to be arrogant at all.

Kevin does not have a nice personality and is horribly self centred - like a small child - and arrogant. Not that it is obligatory to be a nice guy. Just know that this is only a desperate attempt for publicity to try to ignite his pathetically failing acting 'career'

How is your career going sharma?
I hear giving your mother a blowjob is pretty taxing on your delicate constitution
:D

Seriously, Kevin doesn't care about anyone but Kevin. He couldn't give half a shit about those kids.

Don't worry he believes children shouldn't be disciplined, nor have chores, and it's okay for a child to hit his parents....
-
You don't know whether he has any motives so shut up already.

hes living the dream so he could care less.

still hurting from all the levrOWNINGS nasser got :D
and fyi Mr. Levrone has always done things for the kids and make a wish foundation, long before his "failing acting career"

-
Seriously, Kevin doesn't care about anyone but Kevin. He couldn't give half a shit about those kids.
Some people go there whole life and never change...Not knowing Kevin, its obvious that he is a thinker...And an artist (singer/actor/body sculptor)..
With all that said, its obvious that the person Kevin was 10 years ago is continuously evolving...
-
Kevin was always into helping kids and sick people, if you saw his first video he speaks about his parents that died from Cancer at an early age and he shows his daycare in his gym.
He is far from your typical douche of a bodybuilder.
-
haters of Kevin Levrone please go down to the kitchen, take out a knife and slit your wrists...make sure to get it deep >:(
Kevin's my boy
he the man
not only a great bodybuilder but also a great humanitarian
Full-Blown baby :D
-
Kevin helps kids, Jay Cutler eats them...If you don't believe me, just look at Jays head...Also take note at the eye sockets of a Jay Cutler...They are retard close...Its obvious who is holding the check book in the cutler household...
However i hear Jay plays a mean MoZart on the piano :-\
-
No, if you have heard all of Kevin's interviews he is a very humble man whos achieved just about everything.
Bodybuilding legend, Rockstar, president of some supplement company and in the movie industry. The man is a good rolemodel for kids coming up, and for everyones information KEVIN HAS BEEN INVOVLED WITH KIDS (Make a wish Foundation) CHARITIES SINCE HE TURNED PRO.
both his parents died when he was a young boy, so its understandable

This is a good bb'ing related topic. It can stay 8)

This is not a good homo related topic. It can't stay 8)

Unlike Reeves right

Unlike Reeves right
Reeves was a different crop in a different era. Classy guy all the way around. Levrone is a bible beating hypocrite trying to sleaze his way into just as sleazy of an industry as bodybuilding from which he came.

No...clown. That was XFactor that said you're beneath him because he dont have all the goodies (six figure income, fortune 1000 exec job, porsche and who#es). I'll wait about 24 hrs for him to start posting pics which are good BTW.

Reeves was drug free , anabolics weren't even created until years after Reeves retired.

Kurt Marnul has said that Steve Reeves introduced him to steroids.
Larry Scott had spoken about Reeves' steroid use.
Sergio has also gone on record saying Reeves used steroids.
enuff said.........
Does that make him less of a man....nope
less classy....nope
less classy in the context of him being natural compared to Levrone....absolutely... .more like f'ing hyprocite

All hear say and nonsense , the Marnul quote was addressed by Reeves himself which he said was simply not true . I never heard of Larry Scott saying this please provide a link or the quote in entirety and Sergio did claim Reeves used in an interview again based on what? hearsay all anecdotal ' evidence '
not to mention that anabolic steroids weren't even created until 1954.................... ..............4 years after Steve Reeves retired ;)

STEVE "HERCULES" REEVES
Bodybuilding Legend Joins Muscular Development
"For over 30 years I've remained silent and just watched the transition that bodybuilding has made. And in my opinion, and in the opinions of many who have talked to me, bodybuilding, as it's practiced and promoted today, is dying--and dying fast.
Well, it's a good thing! Never in my life would I have imagined that such a terrific sport would be filled with so-called "champions" who are held up as heroes and adulated for physiques that are built with drugs. What kind of "real" bodybuilding champion is that?
Since when did a distinction need to be made between a "natural" bodybuilder and "chemical bodybuilder"? When I built my body, you were a bodybuilder--period! And you did it without drugs, by training hard, eating right and getting the right amount of rest.
It disturbs me to no end that today's muscle magazines are filled with stories on this-and-that champion's routine, when all the while the average man and woman are misled because these same magazines won't dare print the truth! And the truth is that these "champions" built their physiques after spending tens of thousands of dollars on steroids, growth hormone, insulin and whatever else happens to be the latest rage.
The public has been deceived for too long and it's time someone takes a stand. I will!
I want you to go to any newsstand during any given month and you'll find these same muscle magazines with cover blurbs and articles about the latest drugs. Open them up and you'll find page after page about drugs, how to take them and what to avoid. All this is the lie of supposedly giving their readers the information they say they want to know!
Recently, someone showed me a magazine put out by a young man in Colorado, and I was shocked. Unbelievably, bodybuilding is the only "sport" that has a magazine devoted to drugs! And this magazine promotes this character they call "the guru," who answers your most-asked drug-related questions.
After seeing photos of this fella, it makes you wonder; if drugs were so good, why didn't they work for him? Hey, and he's supposedly the "expert," whom people who want to know turn to! Wake up, friends! When and where will all this nonsense end? The other magazines won't stop it--and the bodybuilders sure as hell won't because they're stuck; either you keep taking drugs and getting bigger and more cut, or you won't win contests or get an endorsement contract.
Never in my life have I used any drug to build my body. Never! I wasn't born with the physique I built; I worked hard for it. Yet, I did it naturally. Sure, I didn't build it up to the size of today's drug-enhanced physiques, but I was after symmetry and proportion, and I achieved it in a package that allowed me to win the Mr. America and Mr. Universe titles, along with giving me a successful film career. Even today, at 71 years of age, I work on my ranch, work out and would be willing to bet that I could out-power walk many of those bloated muscle druggies 40 years my junior!
To me, a bodybuilder is someone who not only builds his body naturally, but has functional, real-world muscle that can be used at any time, and will help the person perform any activity better.
When it came to my body--the body you saw--and the condition I had, that was the body I had 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! I was not some bloated, out-of-shape, easily winded giant whose razor-sharp physique could only stay that way for a few weeks before or after a contest. (I can just hear the directive from the magazine editor to the photographers, "Hurry and snap those pictures before we lose him!")
When Steve Blechman, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of NATURAL MD, spoke to me about his vision for taking the sport back to its natural roots, I applauded him. For others in the industry have had the opportunity and have "talked the talk," but no one has had the guts to take a stand for what's right. Blechman has. And that is why, after all these years, I've decided to help the sport I love get back to its proper place. One of the ways I intend to do that is by writing a monthly column for NATURAL MD magazine.
Something needs to be done now; we have no choice. For where there is no vision the people perish; and where there is no vision for the future of bodybuilding, bodybuilding will perish.
Many people may ask if there is another reason for me coming out of retirement to help save the sport. The answer is no, and I want to make one thing crystal clear: My passion for what I do has never been driven by money. I retired at the peak of my movie career, so that I could live life on my own terms.
All my life, I have never answered to anyone and I'm not about to do it now. The only thing I can give you in the coming months--through the pages of this magazine--is honesty and the truth about building your body without drugs.
I will teach you everything you will need to know to build the body you truly want. That is, to build it naturally and without any drugs. If you want to look like the other bodybuilders and want the latest drug information, then go to the other magazines. I'm only interested in talking about one thing: real bodybuilding. If that's what you want, then my friend, welcome home!"
Reeves was very adamant about his disdain for drugs in bodybuilding its old news and if you read anything about the guy you'd know he's a man of honesty & integrity a no-nonsense type of guy

ND can now join the long list of people who've raped Earl in more ways that she can enjoy. But be careful, ND, because she will be back for more.

ND can now join the long list of people who've raped Earl in more ways that she can enjoy. But be careful, ND, because she will be back for more. Getting pummeled up the ass is "Earl"s" raison dê'tre. ;D

Earl is like Hulkster they both commit way to early to things and they both claim they're doing the owing when in fact they are getting their asses handed to them.

STEVE "HERCULES" REEVES
Bodybuilding Legend Joins Muscular Development
"For over 30 years I've remained silent and just watched the transition that bodybuilding has made. And in my opinion, and in the opinions of many who have talked to me, bodybuilding, as it's practiced and promoted today, is dying--and dying fast.
Well, it's a good thing! Never in my life would I have imagined that such a terrific sport would be filled with so-called "champions" who are held up as heroes and adulated for physiques that are built with drugs. What kind of "real" bodybuilding champion is that?
Since when did a distinction need to be made between a "natural" bodybuilder and "chemical bodybuilder"? When I built my body, you were a bodybuilder--period! And you did it without drugs, by training hard, eating right and getting the right amount of rest.
It disturbs me to no end that today's muscle magazines are filled with stories on this-and-that champion's routine, when all the while the average man and woman are misled because these same magazines won't dare print the truth! And the truth is that these "champions" built their physiques after spending tens of thousands of dollars on steroids, growth hormone, insulin and whatever else happens to be the latest rage.
The public has been deceived for too long and it's time someone takes a stand. I will!
I want you to go to any newsstand during any given month and you'll find these same muscle magazines with cover blurbs and articles about the latest drugs. Open them up and you'll find page after page about drugs, how to take them and what to avoid. All this is the lie of supposedly giving their readers the information they say they want to know!
Recently, someone showed me a magazine put out by a young man in Colorado, and I was shocked. Unbelievably, bodybuilding is the only "sport" that has a magazine devoted to drugs! And this magazine promotes this character they call "the guru," who answers your most-asked drug-related questions.
After seeing photos of this fella, it makes you wonder; if drugs were so good, why didn't they work for him? Hey, and he's supposedly the "expert," whom people who want to know turn to! Wake up, friends! When and where will all this nonsense end? The other magazines won't stop it--and the bodybuilders sure as hell won't because they're stuck; either you keep taking drugs and getting bigger and more cut, or you won't win contests or get an endorsement contract.
Never in my life have I used any drug to build my body. Never! I wasn't born with the physique I built; I worked hard for it. Yet, I did it naturally. Sure, I didn't build it up to the size of today's drug-enhanced physiques, but I was after symmetry and proportion, and I achieved it in a package that allowed me to win the Mr. America and Mr. Universe titles, along with giving me a successful film career. Even today, at 71 years of age, I work on my ranch, work out and would be willing to bet that I could out-power walk many of those bloated muscle druggies 40 years my junior!
To me, a bodybuilder is someone who not only builds his body naturally, but has functional, real-world muscle that can be used at any time, and will help the person perform any activity better.
When it came to my body--the body you saw--and the condition I had, that was the body I had 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! I was not some bloated, out-of-shape, easily winded giant whose razor-sharp physique could only stay that way for a few weeks before or after a contest. (I can just hear the directive from the magazine editor to the photographers, "Hurry and snap those pictures before we lose him!")
When Steve Blechman, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of NATURAL MD, spoke to me about his vision for taking the sport back to its natural roots, I applauded him. For others in the industry have had the opportunity and have "talked the talk," but no one has had the guts to take a stand for what's right. Blechman has. And that is why, after all these years, I've decided to help the sport I love get back to its proper place. One of the ways I intend to do that is by writing a monthly column for NATURAL MD magazine.
Something needs to be done now; we have no choice. For where there is no vision the people perish; and where there is no vision for the future of bodybuilding, bodybuilding will perish.
Many people may ask if there is another reason for me coming out of retirement to help save the sport. The answer is no, and I want to make one thing crystal clear: My passion for what I do has never been driven by money. I retired at the peak of my movie career, so that I could live life on my own terms.
All my life, I have never answered to anyone and I'm not about to do it now. The only thing I can give you in the coming months--through the pages of this magazine--is honesty and the truth about building your body without drugs.
I will teach you everything you will need to know to build the body you truly want. That is, to build it naturally and without any drugs. If you want to look like the other bodybuilders and want the latest drug information, then go to the other magazines. I'm only interested in talking about one thing: real bodybuilding. If that's what you want, then my friend, welcome home!"
Reeves was very adamant about his disdain for drugs in bodybuilding its old news and if you read anything about the guy you'd know he's a man of honesty & integrity a no-nonsense type of guy
i was actually joking around saying you were owned but who cares about all this crap?
so he babbles on about how he hates the drug abuse in today's bodybuilding, what does that mean? i bet you believed rafael palmiero :D
if i were him i would've done the same thing, being a "natural" makes him unique compared to every other meathead just ask skip lacour ;)
i do think there is a great chance that reeves was natural, seeing as how he had a body that wasn't good enough to be on the cover of muscle and fitness today ;D
other pros were saying he wasn't natural, what do they gain by lying?

How else am I supposed to know you're ' joking' ? you type something I respond
and I knew Palmero was full of shit and I told my brother years and years ago McGwire and Canseco were both one , and Reeves entertaining he did do steroids would have absolutely nothing to hide , because they wouldn't have been illegal and he had nothing to lie about his career was over he didn't have any legal or professional concerns to protect and it took it steps further he was very vocal about about how they were ruining the sport , if you read any of his books or those from other people you'd know the guy was a man of integrity , honesty , honor. he was born in another time when these things meant something
other pros were saying he wasn't natural so that means he wasn't? The Kurt Marnul quote was flat out dissmissed by Reeves , the Larry Scott quote I never heard before and I heard them all , and the Sergio Oliva was from an interview he says everyone was on them even Steve Reeves , I mean what does that prove? it's called hearsay and nothing more , how would Sergio know?
Now the best part is anabolic steroids weren't even invented until 1954 , that was a full 4 years AFTER he retired so I mean get serious

Earl Ronnie has a very good reason to lie , he was a member of the Arlington Police department , he has to protect them and himself , Reeves had no motivation to lie that's the difference.
entertaining Reeves did use they would have been legal , and his career was long over he had no reason to lie , and if you knew the type of guy he was he wouldn't lie.

No we do know for sure , how can he take anabolics if they weren't even invented ? explain that one. and he has been very outspoken on the subject that's a step past denying personal use.
