Lets hope he docent injure himself...think he should calm down...learn by flex wire routine...
But now...since both of them train and doing gear, lets put them side by side to compare...would be pretty funny/interesting!
-
I wish him luck on his upcoming powerlifting meet
-
Looked easy for him, better than Brad Dingleberry...
-
According to the getbig experts, he is moments away from injuring himself, training heavy.
I mean, it's been six months of him training heavy but to be clear, getbig experts know that you can't train heavy if you're age 50+. It's a fact.
::)
-
i think getbiggers are great
theyre experts in everything healthy - no steroids, no pre workouts, no heavy lifting, no this, no that.
nobody should do bodybuilding for a plastic trophy, its not worth it etc etc
add to that their expertise in money management, retirement plans, relationships, having kids etc
this site is pure gold, so much knowledge under one roof!
-
Impressive!!!!! Got bless his joints and organs.
Too bad legs remain the same.

Did he up the D?
Jeff McFarland PT met him in 2001.

x2 went up pretty easy..
-
Too bad that a one rep max bench will do jackshit for him as far as a contest goes.
::)
-
should stay away from weights he cant do without elbow wraps...
-
should stay away from weights he cant do without elbow wraps...
agree ,,,but that's what all these guys do nowadays ,,even db pressers you see them hoisting 120/130's like nothing,,i am more impressed seeing guys doing those big db's clean elbowed..
-
should stay away from weights he cant do without elbow wraps...
Why have I never used inzer knee wraps to bench? Why have I never thought of this?
I'll be posting my 500 bench video soon fellas.
-
500 without a hint of leg drive or an arch, i almost want to claim fake weights
-
all that video needs is "500 pound bench press in your face"
-
thats a son of a hell wide bench :D
(just notised that now)

One rep maxes, great idea for bodybuilding.

Yes, the place at which men with no women or not a single woman who wanted to marry them are experts on relationships or preach that women and relationships are not worth anything; childless men are child-raising experts; men of meager means are experts on money management and money making; and men who tried to be or were bodybuilders bash bodybuilding. What an interesting place!

LOL!
This is why this place is great!

Bodybuilding great idea for a lifestyle.
A lifestyle for which a man literally enslaves himself. I realized this after one show.

look mom, no pec tears

I'm positive you down the D.

Should I ignore the recent 5 plate squat video on Kevin's IG?
Like I said it doesn't take rocket science to figure out heavy consistent lifting is not good for the body long term if your goal is bodybuilding and not strength building ::) and as u age injuries become more apparent from heavy lifting then compared to Phil, jay, dex type training pump sets
What's so hard to understand? That was what your question was about
U are a real imbecile, so go figure
I missed that one. You definitely pegged me. I am definitely a real imbecile. I asked for proof and I got it: because getbig experts said it happened to a few pros.
Quite right, no science needed because it doesn't take science pertaining to rocket propulsion.
I will try to learn to not question the getbig expert's fabulous foundry of knowledge, hereafter.
Getbig experts are the oracles and the heralds of all things to come. May I never question their eternal wisdom, again.

Maybe if he stopped training do stupid heavy for his age he would actually get his physique back, like perhaps instead of ego reps with 4-5 plate squats/benches do 315 for 15-20 reps sets
That shit may have worked for him in his 30's but he aint 30 anymore, just killing his joints and stimulating fuck all.
he should look at how dex and the other forty soemthings are training and still competing sucessfully

See this is what I'm talking about Nelson. People also keep posting stuff like you're saying - but it's not based on any science, it's just your opinion based on other people with different bodies and different histories.
That's fine, but quite a few of them get real fucking defensive when I say "well hold on, where's the proof about what you're saying?"
It might be true, but I can't find anybody who is actually doing much more than giving their opinion and these same people give no fucks when they read/listen Levrone saying "I've tried to lift moderate, it doesn't work for me". They know better. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you haven't read that. Stated many times by Levrone. He definitely tried it last year with his legs.
Even if they started out the same, their bodies were conditioned to respond to completely different stimulus.
Kevin's physique was not built on light lifting.
Dex's physique was not built on heavy lifting.
Is it really that hard for people to think that some people might respond better (or more specifically, get back to peak condition) to heavier weight than moderate weight for lots of reps? I mean, we're talking about a lot of variables, here.
Is it really that hard for people to think that maybe, being 50 and that type of person might not be certain doom?
There are fine margins in play, here - these people are drugged to the gills and they are looking for an edge. If moderate weights is less effective for someone, they're fucked doing moderate weights. It won't work.
To me, improvement is in the eye of the beholder and the person who is doing it knows what works for them. You can feel it. You know when you are on the right path. Levrone says he has tried moderate weights and it doesn't work for him. I believe Levrone, not the internet experts :)
I would bet a little of my money that people that cite moderate weights are more often than not, disciples of that particular way of lifting. Weight training is full of people who use their own personal experience (or a few other examples) as science. Basile believes you are in peril if you do heavy deadlifting.. because he tore a bicep doing deadlifting. Shit like that.

I agree with you bro, Kevin is lifting way to heavy for his age. Ego training. He should train humblely. He needs to think about being on stage for the fans.

I smell a forced permanent retirement from competing. ::)

Lifting heavy like this for Kevin is certain doom, tore his pec doing this shit in the 90s in his prime, he claimed to tweak it last year, fucked up his back in his prime with heavy squats. He also claimed his knees were bad from heavy lifting last year so he got these shots he's been getting.
It's just progressive overload to grow and always has been. Are you aware that you can lift heavy for a set of 6-12 and increase the weight over time? That works for everyone, no one on the planet ONLY responds to heavy was sets of 3-5
Kevin is showing these heavy lifts to stay relevant because his body isn't getting any better, not because it works better for him.

Kevin's injuries through the years of heavy lifting, possibly more
Pec tear
Tricep tear
Lat tear
Knee pain
Lower back pain
It's not getbig experts, it's common sense, with age comes more prone to being injured, what don't u get?
Wow, he's doing 5 plates ::) yeah and his knees are getting injections with plasma just so he can squat
We shall see if those 5 plate squats do anything for his legs at this point

Dex's physique and like many pros was built with heavy lifting early on, it's just that dex at his age now is smart to back off for longevity
Haha u haven't been around a lot of pros, have u? Dex was doing 405 bench presses for reps early on his career, so did jay and many others
Through time your body ages, common sense which u don't have, and is more prone to injuries compared to your youth ::)
Don't know why it's so hard for u to understand
Levrone is hard headed, stubborn, and staying relevant cause heavy lifting is all he has at this point to impress people like u

I've noticed Kevin uses textbook form, maybe this is the cause of his injuries?

You're a classic getbig expert. Full of knowledge and advices for everybody, without really actually having much science to back yourself up. I asked for it. You say Dexter Jackson does this and fall back behind insults to mask your tenuous grip on what is actually evidence.
Go on youtube and search for 70 year old with "bench press" or "deadlift" or "squat".
All doomed individuals.

Tricep tear

Knee pain
Lower back pain
This was awesome, by the way - you were really struggling, there at the end, weren't you? Lower back pain.. hilarious.
You miss the point by a long way. If Kevin can't get big from training moderately, Kevin has to lift heavy. If he fails, he fails. That's the cost of doing business.
-
Kevin is showing these heavy lifts to stay relevant because his body isn't getting any better, not because it works better for him.
Do you not think that the fact his bench and squat have gone up that it might indicate that his body has improved?
As for the rest of your post. I do not think that Kevin is doing big 1RM's all the time. He is at a powerlifting type gym and they would be doing some overload.

U are really a fucking moron
I've seen a lot of these pros in person train, mainly dexter the past 8 years when I'm in California
No point even debating with u
U are a hilarious individual, what's so hard to understanding? I'm asking u
Dexter lifted heavy in his younger years, he is nearing 50, u stated dex trained light, he trained heavy during his younger years and backed off the last 10 years for longevity, straight from his mouth he trains smart these days and doesn't lift heavy
Seems like u can't grasp that knowledge, its common sense

Kevin stated himself he had lower back pain and hasn't squatted in years ::) look it up
U must be a newbie that still believes some pros are natural, so go figure
-
Funny thing he could just do a random high volume pump workout and get the same results considering his genetic gifts.
Hes already busted up everywhere I dont get the point of doing further unessessary damage.

I don't give a flying fuck how many professional bodybuilders you have seen train, I can start posting geriatrics doing 1RM of similar or commensurate weights from youtube and it'll take me quite some time to finish. All those people are doomed in your eyes because you have seen some pros train and what the pros do must be the only way to do things, right?
-

How do you know that a random high volume pump workout will give him the same results?
His assertion is that the results aren't good enough with something like that but apparently the getbig experts know better ::)

lol high volume pump ;D
all Olympias has had in common that they are strong as fuck.
I will say that one rep max probably is not the best thing to do at his age though. About 4 reps for his heaviest working sets should do.

Yet, in the powerlifting world, doing 1RM's from time to time is normal.

Levrone's tolerance to withstand heavy workouts is part of his genetic "gifts"
Francis Benfatto once said, he tried to keep up with Kevin Levrone for a week, and he tore his pec during bench pressing.
He said Levrone was ridicilously strong and using amazing poundages during his training.
So I don't think Levrone is a pump and grow fellow similiar to Paul Dillett.
Muscle memory helps to a degree.

No he has not improved that why he keeps pushing competing back and also why the quad pictures he posts aren't of him standing and don't show his whole body.

Where did I say pros don't train heavy? They all do at some point, with age most change it up
U stated Dexter is a pump set/light weight training individual. I disagreed and said he built his foundation with heavy pressing and lifts and as he aged, he changed up his style of training for longevity and less injuries
I don't know where u are getting this 1rm bs from, I never said anything about that ::)
Funny how levrone was a pump set/high volume training during his "levrone report" days in 2009ish and yet, he had a great physique then
Thing is levrone likes to lift heavy, that was his whole persona
He can squat 5 plates all day but doesn't look like his legs are coming back

Levrone is very gifted for sure esp in strength department, one of the strongest as far as pressing goes
But his biggest gift is being able to withstand heavy cycles and drug usage like many top pros ;)

heavy is relevant. it might be considered heavy for you but not me. or him or them etc. everyones body is different. so if someone can do a 500 lb bench MAYBE thats not heavy to him. ALTHOUGH COMMON SENSE TELLS US 500 LBS IS PRETTY DAMN HEAVY NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. will light weights and pumping build a body? sure to an extent. look at gymnasts. very well built but cant get bigger because they are limited to the amount of weight they use by their own bodyweight. there isnt any type of progressive overload. so after a while its done building size. you need sometype of progressive overload to build NEW muscle. once you have muscle you can maintain it with lighter weights more pump sets etc. but dont expect to get super huge that way. thats why in the day we all did cycles of heavy workouts for 2 -3 months and then lighter workouts for 2-3 months( especially as a show got close for those who competed) by doing so you got the best of both worlds gave the body time to recover from heavy weights let the joints and tendons etc rest and recover and use lighter weights to keep some size and help recover. some people just push and push with the heavy weights . sloppy form etc thinking all the gotta do is move weight from point a to point b and the will grow no matter how they get it there. lol. now thats an accident waiting to happen. so yes kevin or anyone else when getting older needs to train smarter not heavier. i for one have a garage filled with nautilus machines and flex and others. i use only machines now. im 53 and im still big and muscular. ive had no injuries because i trained smarter thru the years( not when i was young though lol )

Yep
Certainly levrone's knees are bothering him, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten plasma injections in them
Like I said training heavy for him is his persona, he loves it, is it the smartest way? I don't think so but hey, he certainly thinks so, so there's that
-
Right, so to summarise, we will permit Kevin to train heavy.
Order carried out.
-
Has anyone suggested that Kevin has injuries because of weight training? Would he have torn his trial if he ran?

i used to belong to the same gym as levrone in maryland, this was mid 90s before he took over, he was just a regular member like the rest of us, he was always wearing this hooded jacket so for about 6 months i didnt know it was him until someone pointed him out and said he was a ifbb pro bodybuilder. he was strong but he never took the weights off after benching or doing leg presses, which to this day pisses me off. also he used to bring his own cd's to the gym with his own music, i guess he loved to hear his own voice but it got very annoying after a while as i prefered to lift to michael jacksons bad album.

I remember reading years ago that Kevin was allegedly one of those 10 anadrol a day guys. And because so he would take long breaks away from training/gear(6months)...You take that kind of anadrol and don't blow your liver apart, all you'll ever want to do is lift heavy.
-
all valid points, but really high volume training doesn't sell supplements to anyone except broke bodybuilders who probably wont buy into the hype. Putting up huge numbers at 50 sells supplements to all the masses if retired bodybuilder Kevin can go from retired to benching 500lbs in 6 months on Exile just imagine what it can do for you
-
Funny thing he could just do a random high volume pump workout and get the same results considering his genetic gifts.
Hes already busted up everywhere I dont get the point of doing further unessessary damage.
The damage he's doing to his joints serve as a good attention seeker on social media (specially teenagers )
"Hey I'm old with no legs but still can train ballz to da wall " here's me benching 500 lbs in your face !"
"Hey I'm old with no legs , here's me training high volume pump workout"
See the difference ?
WoooSHHH ITS LEVRO ~NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

See this is what I'm talking about Nelson. People also keep posting stuff like you're saying - but it's not based on any science, it's just your opinion based on other people with different bodies and different histories.
That's fine, but quite a few of them get real fucking defensive when I say "well hold on, where's the proof about what you're saying?"
It might be true, but I can't find anybody who is actually doing much more than giving their opinion and these same people give no fucks when they read/listen Levrone saying "I've tried to lift moderate, it doesn't work for me". They know better. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you haven't read that. Stated many times by Levrone. He definitely tried it last year with his legs.
Even if they started out the same, their bodies were conditioned to respond to completely different stimulus.
Kevin's physique was not built on light lifting.
Dex's physique was not built on heavy lifting.
Is it really that hard for people to think that some people might respond better (or more specifically, get back to peak condition) to heavier weight than moderate weight for lots of reps? I mean, we're talking about a lot of variables, here.
Is it really that hard for people to think that maybe, being 50 and that type of person might not be certain doom?
There are fine margins in play, here - these people are drugged to the gills and they are looking for an edge. If moderate weights is less effective for someone, they're fucked doing moderate weights. It won't work.
To me, improvement is in the eye of the beholder and the person who is doing it knows what works for them. You can feel it. You know when you are on the right path. Levrone says he has tried moderate weights and it doesn't work for him. I believe Levrone, not the internet experts :)
I would bet a little of my money that people that cite moderate weights are more often than not, disciples of that particular way of lifting. Weight training is full of people who use their own personal experience (or a few other examples) as science. Basile believes you are in peril if you do heavy deadlifting.. because he tore a bicep doing deadlifting. Shit like that.
I am not saying he should not train heavy as much as I am saying he should not be training stupid heavy like he has been. Mark my words he will have a debilitating injury posting while trying one of these lifts..
All my opinion is he should start training heavier in a different way because what he is currently doing is not working like it did years ago. And with all due respect how we trained in our twenties and thirties does and has to change in some ways when we get older. I never thought that was true back at that age, but now in my late forties I have see4n it with not only me but almost everyone I know in that age group. And none of these men and women have stopped training hard or looking good(some are former competitors who are aged 60 plus who look better than probably 90% of the guys on the net loaded to the gills), They still train hard but they train smart for their age.
Sorry to say, but Levrone will find out eventually as will the rest of you and the other people here

Levrone is laughing at all the experts in this thread, teaching him how to be tha bess.

Specially after finishing dead last at his "BATTLE of the legends" hype.
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Its not LEVRON bitches
-
At least he is a legend, and was invited to the event. Who here is better than him, bodybuilding wise?
-
Yet, in the powerlifting world, doing 1RM's from time to time is normal.
That is where it also makes the most sense. Powerlifters are going for numbers not looks. Competitive bodybuilders are just risking unnecessary injuries by "ego lifting". These guys need to understand that it is not rocket science.
Seasoned pros aren't going to grow by benching 400 instead of 250, or squatting 600 vs. 400. It's all about tweaking the dosages and compounds.

Are your crisps in the Uk, equivalent to potato chips in America?
If so, what are the "chips" in your staple fish and chips meal?

Yes, the chips in fish and chips are fries I think you call them?
Home made ones are best done in an old fashioned chip pan

Hey, don't lower your head (no homo) I know where I came from. I still have respect for the empire. I don't think many Americans would be here, if the British monarchy had not set up such a powerful institution. They say things happen for a reason...

A couple of recent photos:
-
Levrone's arms are on par with any other IFBB pro, but the rest of his body just looks deflated. He's got the size, but not the sharpness or the fullness.

your absolutely right about we train a lot differently in the 40s as we did once in our 20s and 30s, I can't believe the stupid heavy ass weights I use too do back more so in my 20s, and you do pay a price for that mindless mindset, MOST young guys don't know what too expect once they hit their late 30s-40s but their joints, constantly aching muscles etc sure will let them know.

Stallone is committed to lifts for over 30 years
That's real commitment
Guys that are short, just own it, so ridiculous wearing lifts
