Kevinlevrone had his special sidechest and most muscular, other than that...looked pretty flat and shitty imo.

Flat chest, weak back, bad dubel biceps pose...no legs...well...Phil Heath got probably 2 inch thicker muscles on the back and chest, with better arms and legs...just saying!

Levrone was to lazy to become great!

Great point, considering that fact that you have more pro wins than Kevin.

Levrone played it smart and didn't juice year-round. I used to work out at his gym in Maryland and during the off-season he would shrink down to 210 pounds between shows. Between 1999 until 2003, Kevin competed in two shows...the Arnold and the Olympia. In fact, from 2000 on....Kevin only did the Olympia. He wasn't lazy. He trained HARD. Maybe not as hard as other competitors that lacked his genetic gifts, but he trained hard enough. He rightfully deserved to win the Arnold in 1999 and Olympia's 2000 and 2002.

Neck was too long, high lats, shoulders/tris over powered his flat chest.  He looked better his first few years.

He didn't train year round never mind juice. He said after a major contest he would stop training for 5-6 months a clip and concentrate on his music.

That was earlier in his career---and then he "stopped" benching them heavy ass weights (of course he did some heavy benching for M3)

But, there was a pic of him with a bruising to his torn lat and tricep.
Royalty said that it was 2003.

I'm pretty sure he tore his pec just before the 93 olympia

part of the reason they said he only placed 5th because he didn't fully train.

about his quads, when he came onto the scene in 92 he had amazing quads:

was great but not enough to win the big one. Guys were too damn big and ripped then. Kevin had an amazing stage presence but that does not win shows.

I'm pretty sure that Kevin, vince taylor and Ronnie have the highest number of pro wins ever.

Ronnie being first. not sure who has more Kevin or Vince.

Owning the fuck out of Nasser and Cormier here. His delts are so round but dense, it doesn't make sense. Seems to be said allot he jus did nothing all off season and grew into the show. Prob why his peak was always off. Imagine him putting in the work like Yates? Would have blown him off stage

Dude lets us remember, every once in awhile, why we started lifting. He's not throwing up any Branch Warren scans any time soon. The ideal was to look like a superhero not today's superzero's.

Besides ronnie and Chris, kevin was probably the strongest bencher in terms of top pros

Kevin was insane, perfect form and 1 wk out doing 405 for 12-15 reps , 500 for reps, and inclining 405, all done easy

Yeah, it seems that Kevin was mostly tricep strength. Ronnie, maybe, but Ronnie and Chris had better/fuller chests.

Woogsraven, those were the pics...

I'd say 1997 he had a shaved head at the O that year.

He tore his pec in 1993 i think he wanted to sit the Olympia out but they made him compete. I think he got into such good shape so quickly he realized he didn't need to juice year round to show up in shape so didn't in the future.

The story Ronnie told about him drinking a large glass of Vodka and Coke? the night before a show to flush out all the water was great.

Yeah, I've never really seen any other bodybuilder change his body that much from only training that little.
