Title: Kevin Levrone going back on stage and making a comeback?
Post by: deceiver on July 14, 2012, 01:57:18 PM


"I am really, really thinking about it - I don't know - just thinking about it"



"i see some guys doing something wrong and i see i can make some adjustments"

Translation:

"i see guys looking like branch warren winning shows and i know i can pwn the shit out of them at fucking 70%"

Levrone is about the only guy in his 40s who really could make a decent comeback....don't know if it's wise, but it wouldn't be pathetic.

Even if he could come in dry and shredded, he'd still lack the wheels and back he did in the early 2000s against peak Ronnie.

Yeah but in fairness, you could insert the name of pretty much any BBD and apply that statement  ;)


Levrone doesn't have a chance, but hopefully he'll at least open some eyes with old school aesthetics.  On the flip side, if he uses this opportunity to plug supplements, he'll be nothing but filt.

translation:
 "i see guys looking like branch warren winning shows and i know i can pwn the shit out of them at fucking 70%"

The correct translation:

"I've failed at every other career venture I've attempted since retiring from bodybuilding so I'm going to make people think I'm going to give it another shot in order to attempt to drudge up what ever little interest is left in the only faded washed up career that I had mild success with"

I remember bodybuilding used to be called an older man's sport, I don't know who coined the phrase.  People used to talk about muscle maturity that the younger guys didn't have.  When did things change?

well he did a show in australia and yeah was lower level show but he was bigger than ever and conditioned as close to his prime.i'm not suggesting he was a mr o caliber guy again and vince taylor still hit great conditioning in 50's so yeah he has been using long time so it's not like levrone who is not hitting it hard as he used too,,,

i dont know, i think there is something to it, with long time, the muscles start to look better at the same level of bodyfat.but id just call it overal development.
X2...I think it's overall development as well. And every serious competitor I've talked to says they get shredded more and more each show, like their body becomes more efficient at it

Lou was 39 or 40 I think. That's a lot different from 47.

Post by: OTHstrong on July 19, 2012, 03:17:48 AM
He did beat Ronnie Gutman in competition, however, unlike Kevin (2005 Challenge Round). lol
Actually nothing could be further from the truth, the judges where not official judges sanctioned by IFBB nor were they recognized or qualified based on judges's protocol and procedures for the challenge round, it was the former Mr. Olympia's who scored the challenge round based on opinion and no credit was recognized as an official IFBB sanctioned event for the challenge round so that certainly doesn't count, furthermore Levrone won 2 out of 4 rounds against Ronnie at the 2002 Olympia from an Ifbb official judging stand and officially sanctioned and qualified judges. Hardly the scenario you described above, Oh BTW Levrone was the last man to beat Coleman before his Olympia Reign back in 98.

That's right.  Competitive bodybuilding is altogether different than taking a good pic in the kitchen or looking good in a tank top.  Kevin would always be compared to his former self, so it's an automatic letdown, even if he looks great for 47.

I really hope he is not serious- And just doing this for "selling a product". Kevin you had a great career, you went out in class IMO. Stay retired like Yates, Ray, Nasser, and Haney, and educate the up-and- coming bodybuilders. You will just tarnish your career doing a "comeback" to stay/be relevant.

Ya but maturity is the middle stage, sure it is better then the first stage( first 10-15 years of training), but there is a third stage and that is saggy, droopy and atrophied muscle which is the worst look.

There are a few guys out there that seem to defy time.  Albert Beckles and Elliot Gilchrist competed well into their fifties.  I know, I know they could never compete against todays insulin blow up dolls, but their physiques are the kind I strive for.  I truly believe that they were able to compete so long is because they never went crazy with the drugs and that they just loved to lift. I realize genetics are a major factor too.  I will lift till the day I die, cannot stop.
