Thats all? Isn't he used to that kind of weight? Man thats pathetic only 400! ;D
yeah when Kevin tore his he was doing well over 500

Kevin Levrone tore his pec doing warmup flyes with 60-pound DBs.That's what he said at first. Then he changed his story and said he was benching 600 or something.
This is sad but true.

Levrone was a part-time trainer who never got as strong as the other guys who trained year-round.From 1991-1996 Kevin trained heavy year round.
My prediction of Branch mr. o in the future only looks better now
Didn't 240 have a meltdown where he deleted his account and signed up again 15 minutes later? ???

That is what happens when you take steroids, the muscles gets stronger faster then the joints and the ligaments do so you end up tearing something eventually.

are you fucking kidding me where did you hear this?

Kev stated this in FLEX. I think I have the issue around here somewhere. If not, I'm sure someone else does. The exact quote was something like "Levrone tore his pec doing pre-warmup deep flyes with 60 lb DBs, remarkably light for him".
I'm pretty sure Levrone can bench 575 x 3reps. He benched something like 430 pds naturally. He's got a bench presser's physique! Plus I just saw his video and he did like 5 reps with 5 plates on each side. Never doubt Hollywood!At his best close, but not now. Have you seen him recently? He lost a lot of weight, man.
can you post a snapshot of it or something?

That's what he said at first. Then he changed his story and said he was benching 600 or something.I remember him saying that also

My prediction of Branch mr. o in the future only looks better nowAs the president of Team Warren, this was the first thing i thought of, but personaly, i think warren could beat a completely healthy vic any day of the week and should have at the O last year. Warren will be Mr. O.
I remember him saying that alsoHi hun! :-*
I saw Vic about 3hrs ago in the gym, he looks very huge and pretty tight for two weeks out. If he keeps it up he'll be very hard to beat. The intensity he was trainig with, I doubt very much he tore his pec.
Yes.. it's true. Big Victor has a pec tear and from what I understand it could be serious but only Vic himself knows. It happened while performing 400lbs Bench Press and from the looks of that weight, I would say that it could be pretty damn serious. All the best to him and a speedy recovery. He'll be floating around the expo from what I hear, so you'll get to question him then.How do you know this, just curious. like I said I saw him a few hrs ago training the same way he's been training for the last several months. I spoke to him and he told me he's two weeks away. that would be prety odd for someone who tore his pec.

Jesus, if this is truth its really shocking!!! I have shitty genetics and im really weak, but even i do flyes with more than 60!!! And it was in his warmup!!! So this way for you to tore a muscle you dont need exactly to be moving monter weights... :oim pretty sure kevin said that he heard something in his pec the previous chest workout before the pec tear when he was benching, but ignored it then actually tore it.
Thats all? Isn't he used to that kind of weight? Man thats pathetic only 400! ;D
It's no so much the weight, it's the form he used. I've seen guys tear pecs warming up with 135. On the same note, I've never seen a bodybuilder look as good, no mater what he does after a pec tear. Too bad for Vic. This could be the end of His O hopes.Levrone looked better after his
Kev stated this in FLEX. I think I have the issue around here somewhere. If not, I'm sure someone else does. The exact quote was something like "Levrone tore his pec doing pre-warmup deep flyes with 60 lb DBs, remarkably light for him".I do remember that it was something like that. A lot of muscle tears happen with lighter weight. Years ago Vince Taylor tore his bicep doing SUPER light curls and a guy at my gym tore a pec doing 225 inclines(really light for him, he was huge.) I think it's because you tend to get careless with the lighter weight and when you combine that with a lot of A.S....POP
Didn't 240 have a meltdown where he deleted his account and signed up again 15 minutes later? ???Classic getbig. NOTHING is funnier than meltdowns ;D
I know what you're saying, Man of Steel. I tore my pec on the 35th rep of 500 lb on bench presses. I also dislocated my shoulder doing barbell military presses with 700. Muscle tears can happen to anyone.
hahaha how can you injure yourself on the strickest movements ? Machines hold your candy ass at one place.. :P
Injuries can happen with heavy, light and no weight in the gym. I've dislocated my knee racking a 50lb dumbbell .....freak accident. I've dislocated my shoulder twice in the gym....once shoulder pressing 300 lbs on the Smith and a second time db pressing 100lbs in mid-warmup.....the injuries happened 3 years apart. I injured my low back on the 14th rep of 500lbs on hack squats (will never forget that set) and then I reinjured my lower back a year later warming up with 225lbs on bb rows on the 12th rep. I once felt a pop in my right bicep while hammer curling only 30 lbs, and another time I felt a lesser pop in the same bicep curling 90lb dbs. I severely strained my left pec decline pressing 430 lbs on the Smith on my 4th rep and another time I hurt my right pec pressing 185lbs on flat bench at about my 18th rep.......no rhyme or reason for any of it. Goes to show that heavy, light and no weight can all cause injury.in all seriousness MOS how on earth did you in jure your lower back on hack squats, there's a back rest.
MOS
Thanks Rudy for the info. Good to hear victor is ok cause I expect a top 3 at the arnold for him ! ;DYou're welcome, guess you're the only one who read my post. everyone else is posting on how sad it is and wishing a speedy recovery. It would be sad luckily
You're welcome, guess you're the only one who read my post. everyone else is posting on how sad it is and wishing a speedy recovery. It would be sad luckilyAre you doing the USA man ? If you come harder you will be tough to beat :oHe did not tear his pec. it's BS. Vi
if any muscle tore it can NOT be repaired
in all seriousness MOS how on earth did you in jure your lower back on hack squats, there's a back rest.I wish I knew.....I was in the middle of a normal set and in lowest part of the rep I felt something in my low spine shift slightly to the left and it felt like lightning shot through me and I didn't walk for 3 days. It wasn't the amount of weight....that was warmup weight I'd normally and easily grind out 15 reps with. There is a degenerative spine condition on my father's side of the family.....he suffers from it and two of his brothers (my uncles) do as well.....apparently I suffer from it also. It won't ever go away unless medical science finds a way to cure it. So you can say that it wasn't completely weight, execution of the exercise, etc....that caused the injury.....it was primarily genetics in that case I suppose.
Nothing can be done, career over?Well, some guys compete with muscle tears. It will just have a cleft or a dent on the outside of his pec.
Are you doing the USA man ? If you come harder you will be tough to beat :oYep, I'll be there. Thanks Stavios. Should be a tough class this year. Several legiimate favorites

Seems like some of the injuries happen during warmup, might be avoidable. Warmups can be boring, it's easy to go through the motions and cause something to happen.

Steroids significantly weaken connective tissue and thereby increase the chance of muscle tears whose damage is permanent & irreversible.

It's dangerous to go to war. You might end up with an amputated arm or in a wheelchair.
Or rather, you lose an amputated arm don't you?
... said he was benching 600 ...
Levrone, fully gassed, is a STRONG presser, but at no time has he been able to bench six hundred. Five for several, sure. Six? Nope.
