How many guys you see in the gym that honestly mess with 315 in their mid 40s? I can think of maybe 2.
Title: Re: Is this old news. Skinny Kev Lev
Post by: PJim on May 26, 2009, 11:45:12 AM
it wasn't that suprising, 315 is a pretty decent number natural and untrained. not amazing but not exactly terrible.

Great idea by Kev.

Will be interesting to see how far he gets with the new physique after such a long break.

he was extremely strong, even for being on drugs so its no surprise he can lift good weight natural as well.

Do you know how rare it is to see a 315 bench from a natural?

Let alone a man who hasn't touched a weight in years, wow I wasn't wrong when I said most people on getbig don't even lift weights.



Is that aimed at me? I'm supporting the guy and referencing my own experiences with lifts  ???

dumb dog...i'm 5'10" 220 naturally, been lifting on and off for 15 yrs, and i cant get reps with that on flat.  i can move it on the sitted plate machine...not flat.  i'm assuming you're a juicer...right.

since when has it been rare for a 210lb natural to bench 315lbs if they have been trianing half their life  ???

Post by: MisterMagoo on May 26, 2009, 02:11:41 PM
i'm a 204 pound natural and i can still get a few reps with 315, when i was a 230 pound natural i was getting it for eight. i get that he's off drugs now, but it's not like he was in a coma for the past four years, he's obviously still been training. that was pretty sad to be struggling that hard when the guy used to be twice that size.

if he really did have that crazy of a natural base and drug-free genetics, he'd be slanging 315 around like bitch weight at this point, not unable to get one by himself.

bodybuilders lie most of the time but he says that he hasnt even done a push up the last 2-3 years. so the first day back in the gym he does 315x4. not bad.

Man you are crazy.  A 315 pound bench press from someone who hasn't bench pressed in 4 years is very very good.

and you believe that? come on. kev's a legend, yeah, we got all that, but if you really think he's been out of the gym for three years and hasn't even done a pushup you're really buying the okie-doke. i'm guessing you also believed he never did any drugs except when contest prep started, and even then it was just a little primo?

his claim to not have been exercising whatsoever for years is some obvious CYA to excuse the fact that drug-free he can barely keep up with mediocre natties.
Title: Re: Is this old news. Skinny Kev Lev
Post by: MisterMagoo on May 26, 2009, 02:32:42 PM
maybe it's true, but we'll never really know because right now all we've got is his word that he's not using any gear. remember, ronnie coleman and gustavo badell are "all natural", too. so when kev undoubtedly starts blowing back up but says it's drug free, it'll come down to whether or not you wanna believe him.

i'm far from convinced, but then again i stopped giving a damn about BB a long time ago.

that's just it. after not even doing a pushup for three years (not to mention being off all drugs) 315 is a retarded press, even moreso the 315x4 he claims to have done before shooting the vid.

and wait a minute, wasn't there some BS last year that kev was training for the olympia again?
Title: Re: Is this old news. Skinny Kev Lev
Post by: slaveboy1980 on May 26, 2009, 02:38:18 PM
magoo i dont need you to educate me about bodybuilding.

i was simply passing on what he said on his site; that he hadnt worked out for 2-3 years. IF that is the case then doing 315x4 is impressive on the first day back in the gym.

as for drugs; there is no way in hell levrone can workout seriously without drugs. (he cant mentally do it without aas)

He's been training for years on low doses.

He's full of shit.

I bet he has been benching his ass off just for that video.

Time to up the dosage, watch.

If he was on 250mg of test, and you on 2 grams, he'd blow you out of the water in size and strenght

I agree for sure.

He has amazing genetics.

My point is that he is not drug free and that was not the first bench session he has done in the last few years.

Anyone who takes time off away from the gym knows how lame this claim is.

He's just getting attention which he needs since all his other avenues failed.

Why do you guys have such a hard time with the concept of not being in the gym for years?
He said he hasn't even done a set of push ups in years.
How is it obvious that he has been training?

AXA, He has been fucking training man, you should know by now not to listen to a fucking bodybuilder.

Is that supposed to be weak?  I can do 315 for maybe four reps and although I am drug free and supplement free, it still took me from 2000-2006 to get to that point, with very minimal progress since that time.

that's with consistent training and steroids.   You take a year off and try to bench 75% of your normal weight and see how that goes, and that's not taking account going from juice to no juice.

You seem to make a lot of inflated claims. I'm beginning to think you are full of shit considering your build, which is in no way impressive.

there's nothing wrong with his build, the guy has plenty of muscle, more than enough to bench 315, i've seen guys far smaller than matt putting up 315 for singles or doubles.

I've never noticed much mucle on him, he is probably 5'5" and looks weak imo. I think I remember reading one of his posts where he claimed a 600lb DL. ::)

i don't think he ever claimed a 600 pull and i don't think he would, i remember him saying that he pulled 455 which is still pretty good, Matt has a very good build honestly, big delts, arms and back, he's posted clips benching 315 before and 225 for like 17-18.

I am actually Kevin's height which is tall for this game.  ;D

My max single so far that I have actually achieved is 345, everything beyond that is pure speculation.  I think I can do a little more than that considering I pyramided up that day, but that is just a thought, nothing confirmed at this point.  Max for reps was 225X21 with decent form, on video, 17.

My max deadlift is in the upper 400s depending on the day.  Not close to 600 yet.

hey guys just wanna clear up a few things. im one of kevins buisness partners along with doubler1964. i was the one spotting him on the bench. he has NOT trained in the past 4 years. he was eating 1 or 2 meals a day sometimes 3. like a normal person.  he was not i a comma but.....he has not touched a wt at all till monday. so yes 315 its pretty crazy. he had done a 475 at 185 lb when he first started training. NATURAL!!! he comes from a powerlifting background. he is unusually strong in all areas. this is an expariment to see what happens with the genetic eliete which i dont think anyone is going to say he is not right? and tain clean, and eat only foods. no protein powders...nothing. i know some will not believe it. but its 100% true. he has no reason to lie and nothing to prove. ifbb hall of famer, and THE most winning bber in history. nobody has even come close to that! this is a way for him to push himself and he is filming an action movie this summer which allows for him to hold the extra weight.

ive said it before.....doubler and i are proud to be part of this project.......and everyone will see how far genetics and hard work will take them.

Post by: Matt C on May 26, 2009, 10:28:11 PM
It's believable to me that he trained very little in the past [almost] six years since his last contest, but if he puts on 40 pounds of muscle in eight weeks, I highly doubt it will be free of supplements or steroids.

Hey thanks man!!!

I plan to get back into reviewing supplements soon and uploading some new progress clips now that my main lifts have improved.  I haven't updated my YouTube account for a year, but will very soon:

http://www.youtube.com/user/bbpro

I plan to get back into updating my website and that account soon since it appears people do have an interest in it.  I try to make the reviews as extensive as possible and I welcome a diversity of opinions on my forum although it is dead as hell.  ;D
