Title: Kevin Levrone - Great Bodybuilder during his peak!
Post by: Danimal77 on August 23, 2016, 01:20:42 PM
I knew that he was getting bigger and stronger in 2009. I was following his progress at that time, but I didn't know that he had gotten himself into some serious size and conditioning in 2013. Was this meant for another attempt/run at a comeback?  :o :o :o :o

I don't believe those pics are recent, as in any time after 2004. I've seen them posted before claiming kev was coming back but it wasn't true

Post by: Danimal77 on August 23, 2016, 03:06:15 PM
He was making a tiny comeback (to the gym, not the stage) in 2009. He looked even better in 2010. It's amazing how far he's come 7 years later.

2009

He was squatting too and squatted 500 pounds, something he never did most of his bbing career cause he said he hurt his lower back which is weird

Here he is getting larger in 2010 (starting out pudgy and getting cut).. He claimed 240 at this time I believe. He looked more like 220 max.

I remember he was building up to bench press 315 again, which was his goal at that time. He apparently came back from being 205 skinny/fat/weak. It's amazing how much more amazing he looks now 7 years later in his early 50's than he did in his mid 40's hitting the gym hard. He was probably doing it natural back then. THAT'S the difference.

I doubt he was ever natural, just less compounds and dosages compared to now and his competing days, regardless he looked better imo from a everyday physique stand point

Also he was pushing his levrone formula and started to get into his own supplement

It was 405 bench and 500 squats he was working back up too :)

Having said that, Palumbo is still predicting that Kevin is going to take the Sandow, so maybe we're about to see his second coming...

I just don't feel he gets the respect he deserves. People constantly bash him on here. The fact is, he's what's making this years Mr. Olympia exciting.

That wasn't 2013.

Was just going by what it said in the image caption. When were they from then? He had the bald look and it wasn't from 1997/1998. He was much larger back then in offseason pics. The only other time he's sported that bald look is in recent years.

True on both counts.
He is one of the best physiques ever
I'd put him ahead of some Olympia winners

Dorians is lucky he had so much momentum going into that year. I say that as a Dorian fan. Kevin to me represents what I'd wish to look like if I could click my fingers and gain somebody's genetics.

You know what?  I think there's something in what you're saying - coming from the UK, back then in the stone age the first time I'd get to see new American Pro's was in the mags, and I remember a) just how competitive it was each year when Pro cards were hard to come by - people trying year after year to get one, and b) just how sharp the winners were.  And for some you are right, putting on the extra weight didn't necessarily make them look better (Remember how Mike Matarazzo looked when he won, for example).  

On the other hand, I suppose they wouldn't know until they tried it, so... I've just contradicted myself (for a change)

Edit: also, I'm not sure this is true for Kevin either, so wtf am I actually saying here lol

For some reason I just can't bring myself to watch the clip.  But from the pic it looks like it's going to go p0rno pretty quickly...   :P

Despite his evergreenness, by the looks of his face it is well before 2 years ago.  There's no way he would have got to there and not competed, he looks pretty fucking great there.

Legions of bodybuilders use them, and probably in higher amounts. Yet, they look nothing like him.

Levrone said he hasn't been in a gym in 12 years before this comeback. A couple of years ago he got a testosterone implant for hrt... it was on Palumbo's site.
So it's a bunch of BS he hasn't trained at all in all these years, he hasn't even been clean.

I like his rants where he's just freestyling whatever he's thinking and delivering it naturally, but if you listen to his 'Muscle in the Morning' segments, for some reason he reads the autocue like Kasey Kasem!

Example from this morning:

Palmbomen does lie also
Says huge bbs go off gear a lot not bnc and they body fights to keep the muscle because it's hard earned staying muscle

Fuck off ok....
