I have being thinking about this and according to kevin he has no legs because he cannot squat and once he starts squating his legs will blow up and get big, lets look at this closer you have bodybuilders like phil heath who have massive legs and he doesn't squat, if you look at some of phil's videos from the early days you will see him doing some half rep squats with 405 now he doesn't squat anymore yet his legs are massive,
So according to kevin leg press, hack squat and all the other equipment wont grow your legs but if you squat they will blow up, do you guys think this make sense or is kevin living in fantasyland.

Kevin likes to make excuses. Was the lack of squats responsible for his deflated chest, shallow back, obscured abs, and spindly calves as well? Weeks leading up to the Olympia he was interviewed and he claimed everything was going great with his training and he was dialed-in and on schedule. Now he's making excuses in every video he's put out since his disappointing Olympia showing.

can any of you make an educated guess at his net worth?

I dont know his net worth but I know he is making good money right now, he has a bunch of companies along with muscular development sponsoring him plus sales from his supplement company and he just launch a clothing line.

Guy is delusional, now he's saying on vid that he's going to show everyone and that "it's unfinished business, gonna finish the fight, put your money where your mouth is, battle me on stage" oh brother ::)
Guy just can't except being in his 50's, a sad soul, still living a dream

He's not drinking a gallon of milk per day, that's why. :D

At least palumbo cares about his hair and is trying to do something about it even though it looks like shoe polish

Hahaha don't get me wrong Kevin had one of the best physiques to ever compete but I'm callling a spade a spade, there is zero chance he's going to win a Ifbb show or even top 10 at the O anymore, he's suffering mid life crisis and at his age injecting copious amounts of drugs is not smart
-
The way Kevin squats, if this doesn't work, he'll know it's over.
-
Kevin has Satisfied a lot of schmoes in the past, take that for what its worth. That is how he makes $$

As mentioned in the other thread, Dorian Yates didn't squat during his Mr Olympia winning years, this was due to back injury which the squats aggravated.
He used leg press, hack squats, smith machine squats and stiff-legged deadlifts.

That may be true but Dorian wasn't in his 50's either competing unlike Kevin now, Kevin had weak legs in his mid 30's, how is he going to improve them now?

Dude, you're investing so much hate into someone you don't even know. A sad soul? So dramatic.

The more I read your illiterate posts the more I know that you're voting for Trump and that you're married to your sister.

And u are investing too much time defending someone u don't know either
Why a grown 40 yr old man defending a bber who doesn't give two shits about u
I know he's your hero, I don't have hate for him, I've said many times he's a great bber but at this point he's a lost cause, something isn't right in the brain, u people crack me up, and it's "levrone fans" like yourself he's prob in this position cause of the BS u feed him on saying he can win, he should train a full yr

Squats work? Yes
Squats can fuckup your back? Yes
Moderation is key, switch it up.

Another batch of the same people with the same limited opinions, easily attributed once again to the same words that all of the (mostly the same) people chose not to respond to, last week ::)
Such a naive post. So very delusional in itself.
Being a businessman is precisely what he is doing. He is promoting his supplement line in 2016. This is the age of curiosity on social media - transformations, journeys, quests. He is keeping the hypetrain rolling. If he simply shrinks back down or doesn't offer yet more "transformation" to the audience, he will lose most of the audience. That is how he obtained it and that is how he keeps it. Perhaps if he were Jay Cutler in 2005, yes, going around doing guest posing would work. Nowadays, you take an instagram picture every day or two and do a lot of your marketing from your home. People who go to shows are nothing compared to people who might buy something online because they like Levrone.
See, all of you will be watching to see pictures of his legs in the coming months. It doesn't matter how stupid you think he is, what he is doing is the right thing. He has your attention and some of you are so fucking blind to this, you're actually suggesting he quit doing what is clearly working? He has you. He has your curiosity. He does not have your curiosity if he downs tools and does fuck all to improve or innovate.
Honestly, I facepalm reading threads like this, so many useless suggestions for someone doing something with their life. It doesn't matter if Kevin's legs do not improve. The publicity has a dollar value that gives him some edge in a very saturated market full of basically the same thing with a different name. He just has to keep the attention of the masses.
It didn't matter that he stepped on stage in sub-optimal condition. It doesn't matter. Nothing will take away those insane pics from back in the day. All that remains is money to be made for himself and his family.
For the record - I have my doubts that his knees could recover enough to pull it off - but like I say, it's a win-win. Either it works or it doesn't, but the bank account still keeps expanding.
Not right in the head? Impossible to know as what he is doing is the right thing.

Whatever it is he is getting pissed off at palumbo and telling him to get on stage and put his money where his mouth is. If Kevin was truly smart he wouldn't be responding to people cause it's def getting to him. Now he's saying "what is 9 months of training going to do"
The smart ones are actually jay, Phil, Dexter, and maybe even kai in terms of money, not Kevin, even flex is smart enough to be best buds with Stan eferding cause he's a millionaire and Shawn at least is a cheapskate that always forgets his wallet when it's time to pay for dinner

Why do you believe Kevin is really pissed off at Palumbo? Because he says he is? Do people in wrestling really hate each other? It's mostly just theatre.
Almost all of this stuff is just social media exploitation. Mentioning people's names and cashing in. Palumbo makes a video about Kevin and monetises it, Kevin then gets to make a response video and monetise it. It's just a circus of money and if there's no news and nothing but harmony, there is no money in the videos. Do you really think Kevin gets pissed off at people doubting him? Pfft, the dude would be pissed all of the time. He even admitted he had his doubts (though he never admitted that until after the fact).
You read too much into this "beef" shit online. Every one of these people understand that slinging a bit of mud makes money. There might be the odd situation where they don't like it -but believe me, they make more money from a beef video than most other things.
As for all the people you've mentioned - they ALL were making their money whilst in their prime and NONE of them have had to build their following post retirement. That's the difference. Without question, Kevin would easily have been the poorest of all of them when he started his "comeback". Different situation. Kevin needed to do something different and he still does because there is no way he could live comfortably off the money he made this year - he needs to milk it for longer. If he had 1.8million followers on instagram like Jay, he might be able to coast more but at 499k, he has a long way to go.
I reiterate - what Kevin is doing is the exploiting the situation. Whether he is crazy is really moot - what he is doing now is smart and necessary. In a year or two, he can slow down and milk it more like Jay.

He's acting like a pathetic washed up meathead. He could be capitalizing on this, and make some real money, buy focusing on his supplement line. He obviously has no business sense at 52 years old.

I am a big fan of kevin and I got a little delusional myself with the come back thinking that he would place in the top 6 of the mr olympia, now that the dust have settled I came to my senses and looking at this physique guest posing after the mr o I realized that he has gotten old and even if he trained for another 8 months he is not winning any ifbb pro show.
-
In my own experience leg press has been better for building bigger quads.

Not only that but I notice that higher reps build bigger quads 15 reps is sweet spot loading up the squat bar with heavy weight and doing 5 reps will get your quads stronger but higher reps will get them bigger.

I think he can improve A LOT compared to his O showing. Win a show, that might be a stretch but he could get a gift with a lower tier lineup, pending he can make some progress on his legs and back.

Guys like: Kuclo, Akim Williams, Compton, McCarver, DeAsha, Maxx Charles, Lenarwicz, will easily beat Levrone. Levrone will be running into a lot of guys of that caliber.... even at smaller shows.

Very true...Id love to see him do well, but i think his boat has sailed. Will be fun if he decides to compete again, he stole the show for the olympia this year, I could care less about any of the other guys.

Yeah really wrestling?? ::) trained in Venice and powerhouse chatsworth for yrs , not very many like Shawn ray, palumbo is in ways the same, so yes believe it or not, people do dislike one another
U should enlighten us with your conspiracies, I would assume u are a very successful individual that can offer some insight
