This is a pretty good lift. My best was 22 but I haven't benched for three weeks so I would say I'm good for at least 15. I hope they have some kind of bench press event at the Olympia like this as I would like to enter it.

What shitty form. I learned from Ross Erstling that you only really need to go down half way to best train your chest. Who does this levrone guy think he is?

I can do that

I can do that
Most likely because you take PED.

Very Impressive. Levrone is in perfect shape right now. Very few pros look as good when they are done with Bodybuilding as most are either fat bloated messes or have some major lingering side effects from heavy drug usage.

well Ross would be completely wrong wouldnt he?- i know you are taking the piss but Ross doesnt know mechanics if he truly said that.
the pecs are involved minimally at the last 5th- and the first fifth to quarter of the range it is mechanically at a disadvantage.
that leaves the range where you dont go all the way down, or all the way up. The best compromise is to not go all the way down, and to take a rest/pause by locking out. Dumbbells are probably superior as you can extend the upward range by bringing your wrists towards each other.- and by their nature, you cant go as low due to the bells in the way.

Who is hell Ross Erstling ?
I do believe full-range motion too!
-
That was an awesome job by Levrone - good cadence and ROM. I thought he was done at 28 and cringed at the last one.
I'm more impressed with this than that stupid Palumbo bench contest.
-
Very good reps. For a moment I was suspect if two of the plates were fake. I didn't hear clanging at all. I figured he had collars on but after 30 reps I thought there woudl be some kind of clang. And the way his right arm went up on the last rep looked a little off. I doubt it though. I never question anyone's lifts. He is strong fucker no matter what and 30 he should do, My last set after my bench workout I would do 40 to 50 reps depending on how I felt. After doing several sets with 405, 225 seems like feathers.
-
poor Kevin, how's the movie career going for him?......I wonder if he still lives in hollywood. My best wishes for him

What a moron he is. No chest involvement in the first half of the movement? You wonder why personal trainers get such a bad rap, where do they come up with this nonsense?
-

LOL!

I done 24 after flat benching the other day. Fresh i would have close to 30.
I believe onlyme. Guy benched over 500lbs. I am around 400. HUGE difference between the two. Same way a guy who benched 300 should manage 15 reps, I dont see why onlyme could not manage 10+ more than me.
-
Wow watched the end of the video. No need for that gay woop and jump at the end. He is a 45 year old man.

how does nasser make a living and when is his attention whoring "tell all" book coming out?

he has been smart with his money and invested in many properties and businesses. Nasser could have been a doctor or lawyer or even President if the laws weren't so backwards.
Do you think Levrone comes off as someone who saved much money, he seems like he is on drugs on some of his videos.
-
Well yes I did. All the time.
::) ::)
yeh, cause i would have reason to lie ::) ::)
im not like you you fat crime against nature...........i post anonymously on here, no one knows who i am, so there is no benefit in me lying
to be specific, i did 17 the other day, with plenty of gas left in the tank........at least enough for 5 more
and like i said, i dont have an impressive bench................
if i was trying to build myself up, wouldnt i be saying how impressive my bench is ::) ::)
you fat heap of cowshit ::) ::)
-
Good pressing
I can do that no problem. And more
-
Well yes I did. All the time.
::) ::)
yo onlyme...where does kevin get his coins to do all this traveling and have all this free time since he hasnt done a show, concert or movie in yrs?
-
225lbs Bodyweight lifting 225lbs 47 REPS, with no arching because he has legs up in the air
It's called military bench press

LEVRONE is Full of Shit still though.
Here is a comment by him on a recent Youtube video regarding Steroid usage. The Question read as follows:
[ Invalid YouTube link ]
@levrone2000 do you regret taking steroids then kev?? do you think it will have a lasting effect on your body the amount that you took? thanks kev.
@bm2g No it will not have any lasting effect on me – I was lucky. I don't play the game of regrets. I now have a perfectly clean bill of health. I was benching over 500 natural before I ever took anything, my use was relatively moderate cause I shrunk down on the off season every year. Maybe that's why I don't feel any negatives these days whatsoever. That should not be taken as an endorsement, it's just fact.

Kevin's the most impressive bench presser (pro bodybuilder) I've ever seen. He did 405×12 like it was nothing in BFTO and all this after a torn pec early in his career.

It's hard to judge solely based on physical appearance but Kevin doesn't look nearly as aged as some of his fellow competitors. I think he is telling the truth about his lack of use in the off-season where he would shrink down to 200-210 pounds. He is 45 and I honestly think he can pass for under 30.

I was referring to the benching of 500 without ever touching a drug. That NEVER happened. Leverone is in fantasy land if he believes it (which I think he does as people fabricate most of their memories).

Like your memory of deadlifting 225 for 112 reps? :)

shit, that's a big fucking lie. there is no way Levrone used to bench 500lbs before drugs. I know bodybuilders have tendency to exagerate things, but this is way over the top
-
Are you saying it's impossible to bench 500 without drugs, or just impossible that Kevin Levrone did it?

You post anonymously so you can lie you fucking moron. Post your real name and show a photo. Then start telling the truth. Whatr are you afraid of. Could it be you either a skinny twink or fatter than me slob who has never lifted a weight. What a fucking moron to state you post anonymously so why do you have to lie. You're an idiot, You are lucky I take 1 minute to even acknowledge you

Very true. In his M3 DVD, Kevin was able to bench press 495X4, so it seems odd that he would have only improved by a few reps being as enhanced as he was. I could believe Kevin did 400 drug-free as I myself have lifted 345 drug free and I see no reason why 400 is impossible. 500 is a far cry from 400 though, so I too would have to doubt that claim.
-
Strength does not = big muscles.
Look at thew eights oly athletes lift. 500lbs is possible drug free. However teh vast majority of people who ever do 500lbs are either equipped or juicing.
-
Olympic lifters aren't drug free you idiot.

Well I benched 500 on the button at a bodyweight of 247 around 1982 or 83. I had many witness's at the original World Gym. That was a goal I set for myself was to bench twice my bodyweight. I was 100% drug free and didn't even think about taking drugs. I smoked or drank alcohol. No way was I going to do drugs. In 1984 or so I did start selling them cause there was good money going to Tijuana and buying steroids and bringing them back. Yet I still didn't do it. I had that same goal when I was 300. The most I ever benched was 585 at 300 the day before I left for the world championships. I was on 200mg of Test Cyp then. I took 1 cc of it a day everyday for 6 months. I failed the 600 bench which was my fsault cause I think I did to many warm up sets. I did 585 pretty easy. Easy enought to try 600 and it fell like a rock. I never ever tried it again. My goal was to do it before the world championships. After that I quit trying. I quit taking roids and never touched them again ever. In 1993 or so I inclined the most I ever did and that was 505.
The only reason I took roids had nothing to do with weightlifting. The very first armwrestling event I did was the California State Championships at Old Towne Mall in Torrance. I had no idea what I was doing. My girlfriend at the time talked me into it. I ended up beating 3 world champions and actually beat this one big fucker named Tim Tyree. But, 5 minutes after our match I was called up for a rematche with him. I was so tired he beat me in one second. So I left cussing out in the parking lot and Ric Zumwalt who ended up co starring with Stallone in Over The Top after I got fired. He came up to me and told me I was the strongest guy he ever met. He told me I needed to stay in the sport cause I would be awesome. So we exchamnged numbers and I started competing. I ended up winning the Nationals latewr that year in San Diego. Someone asked me at one event what drugs I was taking. I said nothing. No one could believe it cause everyone of them said they were. And couldn't beleiev I was beating people without taking drugs. Well a couple years later when they decided to invite me to the first OVer the Top event in Beverly Hills and lost to Cleve Dean who at the time weighed about 500 and some other guy. I decided to start taking. They told me Test Cypionate 200 mg was great so that is all I took. I won the next Over the Top event in Denver which qualified me for their Worlds.
The photo of me washing my car was taken the day before I left and the same day I benched 585. I remember that because a guy had saw an article in the paper about me and as he was driving by he saw me and rolled down his window to wich me luck. Thats hwo I remember that. The next photo is at the Beverly Hill event. I was about 260 or so. I have a really cool poster of me at that event but my daughter has it hanging in her living room. That guy beat me.

I can readily believe that YOU did it, not Levrone. He simply does not have the Natural build to do it. You do.

What was your exercise routine like for your arm wrestling compettitons, keith?
-
bay likey :P
x2
and if he comes on here and says otherwise, i will be one of the first to call "bullshit"
-
225 for 30 full reps is about 440 max.
225 for 50 full reps is about 550 max.
Just saying to put things into perspective.
-
What was your exercise routine like for your arm wrestling compettitons, keith?
Mostly upper body. Ray Mentzer had me doing alot of negatives. We also used the Russian strength workout. I two or guys help. I would go up to 120% of my peak. They would help me. That along with doing the negatives increased my tendon strength. Alot of heavy hammer curls. I only did wrist curls with my right arm. I did alot of squeezing stuff. Even after all the lifting and everything else, after a good tournament I still had to wear a sling. My arm woudl be killing me. I could never understand how John B could do what he did. He was a machine.
