Why not tape them on camera. Or these pro bodybuilders claiming 3% yet none do dexa scans

When Levrone posts, read the comments and you'll see why he doesn't need to tape them.

Most of the IG comments are from people who think he is going to win the olympia.

Nevertheless, I hope it is true, should be interesting.  No doubt the legs will be not up to par but that hardly matters, just turn up with a semi okay upper body and it's a job well done.

I still can't believe the sheer size he's put on in just what, 2yrs if that?
    We all know hehe's got access to good gear and whatnot but how the hell he put on that much muscle that fast? We all, for the most part, have good access to the same gear some even more so plus food, gym, etc...his genetics must be above human.

Not to mention he's doing it in his 50's ...

that is part of what makes America great.. the freedom of speech.. so yes I agree that he has the right to say 22".  But that doesn't meant that you have to start a thread about it.

I stuck my neck out already and said top 6 - he could turn up with legs like mine and still do this..

Also, with this IG I like the comments which lead me to believe that:

   1 - Kevin is clearly saved - hence the religious comment about 'photo angel's'

   2 - He has some very enthusiastic fans  :o

This is newly released footage of Kevin at the night show of the
1997 Mr. O.
He was off at prejudging. I've watched all the other night show
routines with this better quality and in this shape it was between Yates
and Kevin.
If he truly is close to this he will be competitive.
The skin thins as we age and if he doesn't have lose skin and decent
legs he might surprise.

Dude, he will not be able to replicate his 1997 size and conditioning. Not a chance in hell. He was 33 years old there. He's 52 now. He was a MASS MONSTER with lines and conditioning in 1997 (in his low 250's onstage). I will be happy if he shows up at 233-236 pounds looking good for Kevin. Based on current pics, it looks promising.

True

It would def be interesting to see how his legs are, they were getting bad compared to his upper body later on his career
1997 was the biggest he's been

Yeah, anywhere between 233 and 240 onstage will be realistic for him. If he shows up close to 250 (which I don't think he will) it would have to be quality size and not just big for the sake of big. Kevin won't make that mistake. He's way too experienced for that.

I have a feeling that Kevin will show up in better shape than he did in 2003. Even though he claimed to be like 236 or 243 onstage, he was most likely 220-223 at most.
