Obviously very pumped but better already!
-
levrone should slim down and to surfshorts competition
-
Levrone will win an IFBB event in 2016.
-
I have better separation in my legs and I'm offseason.
-
he lacks his old leg size:

Thank for that, we hadn't realised ;)

Legs look bigger because he didn't stuff the trunks.
-
It's a closeup. Might look the same size on stage.
-
No separation at all.
-
Arvilla-esque.

No separation at all.
Pumped to fuck I reckon. He should keep covered up and then post a better shot in January IF they have actually grown

You have skinny legs I bet you squat 150 pounds with those toothpicks.
-

This. Probably took 50 pics and picked the best one. Worthless thread of peace

I never squat and my legs are better than yours.
-
Despite the vascularity, he won't win any shows in 2017 with those underdeveloped wheels. Not a chance.
Kevin is really going out of his way lately to try to make people believe his legs weren't as bad a what people witnessed at the Olympia.
-
Really hope he makes his legs grow and that he wins a show in Autumn/Winter 2017.
-
They will never look like they did in the 90's and early 2000's again. If starts squatting heavy again he will end up with a serious injury. Can't do that shit in your 50's.

you got that right kein has turned into the moden con artist snake oil salesman,
-

Exactly. And I can guarantee you that when his legs still look like melted candlesticks next year, he will play the "I was injured" card again, this time blaming it on heavy squats, or claiming he aggravated a previous injury.
-
He's got that ever-more-vascular/vanishing-separation-and-cut-muscularity appearance to his wheels. No matter how much he balloons his thighs, this will not change. And like many oldtime weight trainers, his knees no longer look "slim".
It's over. If he competes again, he'll be larger but appear considerably worse than this last O showing.
Like some others here, I've been around for a long time. I know how this goes.
Kevin NEEDS to accept that it's over, stop fucking around and pursue other things. Forget the in-the-spotlight nonsense, all together.
(In a very sad sense, he's on his way to Branchland.)

Kevin has put on a ton of leg mass in the past 10 days. 1 leg workout has added tons of muscle.
Let me guess, more partial leg presses ::)
-
I'm worrying about the stuff we will be witnessing from Kevin from now on ...
God bless him
WoooSHHHHHHHHH TA NA KA
-
Yepp, kevin seem to max it out...with gear and training...could end up bad. Accepting age isent that easy...
Well. Lets give him one more chance, he might look a little bit better than THis years Mr O...but...he will probably just enter the stage with more veins n blurry muscles with no separation...getting old suck if your not a professor or priest!
Wouldbe nice to see a bigger kevin enter the pro stage though!
-
Kev is an amazing responder but I doubt he'll ever get on the stage again. Would love to be proved wrong
-
When I read this I wrongly assumed Levrone had some type of leg transplant surgery. I thought he was back in the game and I was excited to see the new "wheels".....
-
No way, can't compete with age.
-
His legs were veiny at the olympia. They didn't suddenly blow up in a few weeks.
The contrast/definition edit is turned way up in his pic.
-
Kevin's legs are what you see at a state show where most peoples teardrops are 10 inches smaller than the upper leg.

Going to war with Quadzilla there.
Hopefully Kev can bring up his legs a bit in 2017/2018 and win a show.

Yeah but Kevin's legs aren't going to magically appear again, he was already starting to lose it in 2000-2003, he's done, sadly. This is getting ridiculous now, is he just going to keep competing?!
-
how is kevin competing any worse than say larry scott
1966 Mr. Olympia, 1st
1979 Canada Diamond Pro Cup, 9th
1979 Grand Prix Vancouver, Did not place

but it took paul till 94 to put it all together top to bottom ,,his legs were ridiculous and overshadowed his uperbody and if he came in flat /overdieted on top'upper body' it really showed like 93 usa 'too small'

315 is fine. Kevin was talking about squating in the 400''s for reps..
-

He should go for volume now. Look at the results the likes of Nimrod King got from light weight and volume!

At the 5:00 mark he squats 405 for reps. This was one week out from the 2016 Mr. O
-

I was squaring 315 for 20 reps using the Smith Machine into my 50's. Kept my legs big and full. I would do 4 or 5 sets of leg presses working up to 10 plates on each side. Then I would go over to the Smith machine do 20.reps with either 135 or 225 sometimes. both. Then crank out 20 with 315. I would sometimes get 2 20 rep sets with 315.depending how spent I was. Worked great for me.

He obviously needs to change up his leg training. Think he would get better results doing higher rep more controlled movements. He could get a lot more out of doing the same weight on the Smith Machine by changing his stance and foot placement. Can focus more on the muscle, and not have to worry about stabilizing the weight. But what the fuck do I know.

Too close to call

For legs they actually might.
I know plenty of people praising volume for legs.
-
all bullshit aside kevin should learn from what happened to ronnie coleman
the maryland muscle machine is to old to be doing the weights he did in his younger years. kevin isnt a powrlifter and never was, in his mind he was.
-
High reps don't bring mass.
Intensity brings mass.
-
It would be nice if Kevin could bring his legs back but he need like 15 more quality pound on the uper body to...to hang in there in the top 10...
-
High reps don't bring mass.
Can go up to 405 on the Smith Machine and do more controlled reps. Loads of pros train that way.
-
Intensity brings mass.
Agreed - many forms of intensity, he now needs volume and lighter weights
-
Intensity brings mass.
Intensity builds immensity baby 8)

So Kevin was benching & squatting 405 1 week out from the Olympia... and then started claiming injuries? Yeah right.
In 1994, Dorian tore his bicep while performing barbell rows. He said that he pretty much had to stop training his upper body. He still retained most of his mass during that 6 week period. He still competed. And he won.
Levrone was benching & squatting 405 leading up to the 2016 Olympia, which means, he was healthy.
-
Intensity brings mass.
Yep
Later on their careers ask jay, and Dexter and even Phil
Lifting extreme heavy for bbing purposes is useless, maybe in your younger yrs but guys like Ronnie killed himself and never adjusted to age, Kevin is next
Some bbers can't leave the ego out the door

The guy needs to reevaluate the way he is training. It obviously is not working for him the same way it did in his 20's and 30's. That is if he is truly serious about competing again.

Yup...Old people think that because they're sore in areas they never been sore in the past that it's an injury...Kevin isn't touching those numbers if he was injured. Fact of the matter is he wasn't injured and could walk into any department store and buy skinny jeans off the rack and fit into them...
-

It's 315. Also, his technique is mostly low back. Guy's no expert squatter.

Four plates on a Smith isn't 405. Three ain't 315, etc.
The Smith machine is a fantastic piece of apparatus on which to seriously injure oneself. Its very design makes the body exert force in an extremely unnatural fashion.
Kevin is a lousy squatter.
His leg pressing is pathetic.
Levrone's wheels are a blurry, veiny mess, and his knees have gotten thick.
It is DONE. Mr. Great Responder placed dead last at the O. He'll melt his organs for what, third last?
Holy fuck.
-

He is still likely on a boatload of gear. In every other social media post he is selling crap just like the rest of the 'fitness pro's".
Is he special because he used to be great, went on a pile of gear, ate/trained/dieted and got on stage with a special invite? I must be missing something. It did give the Olympia more hype I suppose but it was the same old politically driven Olympia.

This merchandise is hilarious. "Levrone Returns".
The back should read, "Dead Last".

levrone had a near perfect comeback

Agree, about the Smith machine. My point is whether it is 3 or 4 plates on each side, it is more than enough weight to stimulate growth if done properly.

How about shirts with the number 16 on them? :D

doesnt matter where he placed.
not to him.
not to his fans.

great idea mr white, especially for his 50 collar uncrowned king shirt, he could have a new one made with his body from this years olympia
and right below his picture it reads 16th place 2016 mr olympia, the king wasnt crowned this year .
this will motivate the marlynd muscle machine to train harder , up the does and finally become the king
-
He's got nothing to lose, time to up the dose and up the pound ages, either die for us bitches or become small and useless.
-
not sure whats being discussed here over 4 pages
but i assume the legs is a problem, so with better legs he wouldve won the olympia? is that it?
if thats not it, then whats the point talking about his legs

I am a fan. It's why I want him to give it up. It's over.

levrone probably enjoy himself more now than he has in years. why would anyone wanna take that away from him?

I don't. Keep lifting (even though we know he's not truly passionate about the activity). Take the occasional pic.
But stay off the goddamn stage.
-
with the same reasoning anyone that has no chance of winning should stay off competing.
-

your right danzig brah, and he should double the dosages, maybe triple them, train colemanesque, go all out,
-
i really think the reason he will compete again is kevin doesnt have much money, he will pull the con job , and people will believe he can place high
it will keep him his job at md, and he will hope that more people will buy his crappy supplements, but the supplement market is so crowded, i dont even know how many
pros have there own lines, and there shit is so over priced, i cant even believe there are idiots out there that will pay double or triple for a pros supplements.
this is the only hope kevin has, kevin has never worked a real job or probably had to get up like most people he has no concept of what the real world is.
hes been roiding and being taken care of by people since he was a teenager.

He def needs better colors but the number 16 would be perfect on the back. He competed in 2016 and finished 16th. I'm sure he could provide a a video discussing this coincidence. He's such an inspiration! ;)

bwa ha ha your right mr white , it could read, 16, and hey look at the bright side the worst kevin can do is finish last again.

Legrone...

I agree it's likely Kevin doesn't have much money. At 50, he's probably looking at a financial struggle for the last half of his life. What can he do, besides push fart powders? The dude has never really worked, I'd imagine. Maybe a Summer job in his high school days ... I don't know.
I don't wish hardship on the man. We've met and, although not an individual of much "colour" (in personality), he wasn't unpleasant.
He's delaying the inevitable. He needs to earn a skill and stop fucking around.

hey fortress also i remember, cause i was a dork in highschool and bought all the flex and muscle and fitness magazines like a dumbass. kevin was married and after his successfull rookie year he went a bit overboard on spending like flex wheeler.
flex did a kevin life style part, he was part owner of a gym had a house on a lake and one of those very expensive speed boats , flash forward a few years later, his wife divorces him, his contest placings were lower and lower, i dont think kevin was endoring much back then either, there were fewer opportunities for guys then .
as far as that avenue

I remember going to my first bodybuilding show, NPC Southern States, back in 2001. Kevin Levrone was the guest poser and being a naive high school kid catching the bodybuilding bug, I was excited to finally meet a top IFBB Pro. I only went to the pre-judging, so it wasn't crazy busy outside of the auditorium where the booths were, and I was surprised to see Kevin behind a table with nobody around him. Literally nobody was there, so I went up and paid for an autograph. One would think he would be appreciative and maybe even take a couple minutes to talk to me since he wasn't doing much of anything. He probably said 5 words at the most. I wouldn't say he was a dick, but he definitely didn't have much of a personality or seemed appreciative. For a consistent top 5 contender, he marketed himself so poorly
-
One thing is for certain, Levrone is definitely the most discussed last place finisher in Olympia history. That is not a good statistic.

hey rambone , one poster on here i forget said kevin was asking people to send old pics that had of them, and he would hook them up , well this poster sent kevin some stuff, and kevin being the piece of shit he is never sent them anything see people on here kiss kevins ass, but hes a piece of shit lying scum bag former pro bodybuilder, who is just out to fuck people out of money.
a friend of mine got a phone consultation with mike mentzer, he told me mike was enjoying talking to him and talked a couple more hrs with him for free. just to show the difference, between some people.

That's a shame. No doubt I've met nicer guys within the "sport". Jay Cutler was signing autographs at a nutrition store by my house around the same time and it was a similar situation with no one at all being around. As boring as people say Jay is, he talked to my brother and me for 5-10 minutes and was actually really cool and down to earth.

Fairly recently (say, 10 years ago) a friend and I spotted a meet 'n greet poster at a local nutrition store featuring Rich Gaspari. For a hoot, I suggested we go.
So here's a dude decades past any sort of (limited) public relevance, no one outside of the owner and manager is there, and The Dragonslayer is being all stand-offish and rude towards my bud and I.
We're like, This scene is lame (I actually said, out loud, something to this affect), and we bailed. Some useless Gaspari pre-workout sample packs in hand.
I don't get some people.

Had a similar experience with Kevin also guest posing at the Southern States. May have been the same year not sure. Asked him if he would take a pic with my wife. Said wait a minute then motioned for her to come over for me to take it. He was very quiet and stand offish. Probably only did it because my wife was attractive.

Lol! Most likely the same year. I don't know if you had any of the Nutririon Depots down your way, but that's where Jay was in Pompano. Very cool experience in comparison to Levrone.

Also had a similar situation to that when Mark Alvisi opened his supplement store down here and Gaspari was there. The group I was with wanted to take a pic with him all together and he was real hesitant at first and not friendly at all. Ironically Bob Chick walked by my friend and I and even said how's it going haha. I shouldn't be hard on the guy because he seemed like a naturally friendly guy but the Mirage ice machine jokes and the stretching pictures are too good to pass up on.

I love it, this thread about Levrone's faltering legs has turned into a Gaspari/Mentzer discussion.

Lol! Most likely the same year. I don't know if you had any of the Nutririon Depots down your way, but that's where Jay was in Pompano. Very cool experience in comparison to Levrone.
Yup, I used to go to that one on Federal just north of Atlantic. Also used to go to the one in Coral Springs.

Too close to call

Wow! Didn't know that
His wife or ex wife was on a spending spree too. Lived a lavish lifestyle, numerous luxury cars, designer everything, like real wives of basketball type shit. Hahaha that certainly didn't help

He was jacked as phuck. He used to crush those pussies in powerball

Fortress, you forgot the part about Gaspari stinking up the bathroom
Huh? Something about this sounds familiar. Go on ...

Intensity brings mass.
Correction: HIGH Intensity (HIT) brings mass, which is comprised of low reps, heavy weights. Blitz the muscle in as short as a time as possible. Get in and get out and repeat that same muscle 1 week later and you have MASS (growth). Ask Casey Viator, the Mentzer brothers, and Dorian Yates.

It's 315. Also, his technique is mostly low back. Guy's no expert squatter.
Dude had built some serious wheels early in his career, so he knew a thing or two about heavy squats.

God that was a fun show when it first came out!

Not necessarily. Like many/most responders who're willing to exploit this with gallons of juice, he would have built muscle despite using poor technique and/or exercise selection.
A great many of the world's biggest and best bodybuilders are very modestly knowledgeable when it comes to weight training.
Seen it, in person, time and again.
Watching that video, it's obvious Levrone was never a master squatter. That he might have been capable of huge amounts of weight at some point only points, again, to the deal with great responders with a willingness to use.
-
One thing is for certain, Levrone is definitely the most discussed last place finisher in Olympia history. That is not a good statistic.
He got more interviews and attention then the winner! :D
-
Needless to say, the days of Kevin Levrone "growing into a show" are over.
-
Had a similar experience with Kevin also guest posing at the Southern States. May have been the same year not sure. Asked him if he would take a pic with my wife. Said wait a minute then motioned for her to come over for me to take it. He was very quiet and stand offish. Probably only did it because my wife was attractive.
so he did what you asked and you still slate him?

Pancake chest plus oversized obliques of peace

Phil's thong is tiny compared to all the other competitors ;D
-
levrone had a near perfect comeback
If you read the placings from last to first.
WooOSHHH Boom

They will never look like they did in the 90's and early 2000's again. If starts squatting heavy again he will end up with a serious injury. Can't do that shit in your 50's.
Erm,. Wrong. Dave Bulldog Beattie the British powerlifter just set a new British squat record at the age of 54!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

Talking about bodybuilding not powerlifting. The legs especially when you hit your fifties, don't look like they did in your 20's, 30's and even 40's.

I loved the comeback of KL but I dont think he can do any real damage anymore.
But if he has fun doing it and makes himself money with it more power to him.

He still got to pay his dues...

He's got that ever-more-vascular/vanishing-separation-and-cut-muscularity appearance to his wheels. No matter how much he balloons his thighs, this will not change. And like many oldtime weight trainers, his knees no longer look "slim".
It's over. If he competes again, he'll be larger but appear considerably worse than this last O showing.
Like some others here, I've been around for a long time. I know how this goes.
Kevin NEEDS to accept that it's over, stop fucking around and pursue other things. Forget the in-the-spotlight nonsense, all together.
(In a very sad sense, he's on his way to Branchland.)
Well said.

3 things i don't get
you wanted to meet him, he wasn't trying to meet you so why is it his job to carry the conversation with you? you know some things about him, he knows nothing about you so what did you want him to say to you?
you wanted him to take a pic with your wife, which he did yet you seem to be mad about it, why are you mad?
why do you and many guys want your woman to take pics with bodybuilders? i don't get that at all, i don't mean any disrespect but is the pic sort of living out a cuckold fantasy without actually letting him bang your wife? i've seen it many times, guys having their girl take a pic with the bodybuilder i don't get it
