Title: Levrone barely able to bench 315 pounds nowadays
Post by: Danimal77 on June 28, 2009, 10:52:11 AM
Age has certainly taken it's toll on Kevin. This man was benching 400 for 12 with EASE and 500 with EASE. Hell, he was even putting up 600 pounds until he tore his pec in 1993. He's BARELY able to do a full 2 reps with 315 pounds. So, in 5 weeks, he MILDLY increased his strength from his first in the gym video. Is it the lack of drugs, or is it age, or is he just talking too much nowadays and not getting down to business enough?

Are you kidding? First week we saw Kevin getting a major spot on the one rep with 315lbs. This time he is doing it with ease by himself.

Damn impressive to me!

Are you serious?? When Kevin was doing 405 for 12, he was on heavy anabolics, I'm sure if he wanted to he could still get back to that weight.

He did easy reps. Good progress.

Brother...

First...why should he use drugs now? What's the point? He is almost 45 years old and he is not a stupid kid from the gym...he's an IFBB legend with the best contest history of all time. He don't want to prove anything anymore. He just loves the spotlight, loves bodybuilding, wants to motivate his fans and wants some hype.

Second...in 5 weeks an average stupid kid could achieve a better progress on drugs. If Kevin would use drugs (with one of the best genetics ever in bodybuilding) he could be a whole different person in 5 weeks...

Why? Why does Milos still use insulin and growth and steroids? He will never compete again!

Why does Strydom still use tons of drugs?

Why did Nubret use lots of drugs into his 70s?

I agree that he doesn't look like he's on a "real" stack but there's tons of reasons retired bodybuilders find for using drugs. Come on now.

i agree, but i heard hes endorsing a new product and i assume he has to show the dramatic results we all know from these adds and that deciding factor is drugs.

Kevin will never reach his 50 birthday...YOu heard it hear first...The guy is more of a mess then MJ for crying out loud...In Hollywood he was a nobody...And rumor has it that he sucked many a dick just to get a lousy b movie gig...The poor bastard thought he could make it in Hollywood in his 40's as a cool guy :-\ That shit just doesn't happen...He needs to throw acid on his face or something and go after gigs as the old scumbag...


That's some pretty mean-ass shit to say...


On the other hand, that movie "Redline" sucked! (except for all the hot chicks).

Kevin is doing good in his comeback. if you think he can barely handle 315lbs, you'd have to see how Paul Dillett could barely do 7 reps with 185lbs when he was trying to come back to training. Rules are, if you stop training, your strenght diminish. I don't see why it is such a big deal for some of you Morons

Post by: heretostay13 on June 29, 2009, 06:24:18 AM
Is he using, is he staying natural. Wow...this debate has taken on many forms recently. I'm not here to dispute if he is or isn't. The only thing that irks me is the guy is barely putting up 315lbs for 2-3 reps and filling out his frame somewhat in the past few weeks and everyone is already saying "drugs"..."juiced up"...etc. with the serious intention of believing this guy is running a gram of various things. I personally have a couple friends who took time off (I'm speaking of 2-3 years) and could still step into a gym and put on 315lbs and do it for several reps and trust me, they were nowhere near the strength level nor did they have the genetics this guy has. So cry about how he must be on because of your lack of ability (albeit it "genetics" or just unwillingness to go beyond 2 plates on each side of the bar) but this by no means is an incredible feat to do without assistance.

Age has certainly taken it's toll on Kevin. This man was benching 400 for 12 with EASE and 500 with EASE. Hell, he was even putting up 600 pounds until he tore his pec in 1993. He's BARELY able to do a full 2 reps with 315 pounds. So, in 5 weeks, he MILDLY increased his strength from his first in the gym video. Is it the lack of drugs, or is it age, or is he just talking too much nowadays and not getting down to business enough?

From not being able to do 315 at all to doing it for 2 reps is a pretty big strength increase for only 5 weeks.

I don't see any extra progress... But if you have average genetics then you'll need some testosterone or trenbolone to achieve that kind of results. But for Kevin, that's nothing. This is why I believe that he's natural now for sure.

looks like he stopped at 2 reps to keep his transformation at least somewhat legitimate, if he cranked out 10 people would say 'no way he's natural'

he looks like he could've gotten a sloppy 365 at least, i'm guessing he's on something but relatively low doses.

His two reps didn't seem EASY and controlled to me. His left arm was shaking a bit. Sure he probably could have squeezed out 1 or 2 more, but it WAS an effort for him...

Watch this (starting at 43 seconds and on). NO ONE was stronger than Levrone back then:

5 mondays ago I did 225 on the bench for 3 reps.  Last monday I did 315 for 3 reps.  Bench going up but slowly because for the first 2 weeks I used only Hammer to train after seeing how weak I was.
