He's not saying he'll compete anymore, but he is saying he's going to stay in shape and be lean and do some guest posings. I still say his guest posing from last week demonstrated that he COULD be a threat in the classic division for sure, or even crack the top 10 at the Mr. O, but he seems to be done with competing. That's his call. I still respect the man and his speech in this video is inspirational. Fuck the haters.

Do you think he reads the boards and see the comments about his melted candle legs? I don't think he does, or he wouldn't say things like that.

They improved asshole. Watch his posing from last weekend. The man is 53 fucking years old.

These topics are getting old he still looks better than anyone on this board so lets give it a rest already
-
His time was 1992-2002.
His time is over.
He got destroyed in his last 2 contests.

Hope he is getting paid well to keep this shit up at 53.

The man has been on social media 24/7 over the past two years telling the world he was going to prove naysayers and haters WRONG , that he had knees of a 22 year old man, and was going to make history , for a full year a vast majority of current pro Bodybuilders were pushed aside to give exposure to Kevin because he was aiming for the Mr.Olympia tittle ...
He took last place at the 2016 Mr.O, ( with the excuse he got a knee injury despite having 22 year old knees) and he took 14th at the Arnold Australia this year looking worse than he did at the Mr.O ( with the excuse of the long flight to get there ) .
A man of excuses .....

He got destroyed in his last 2 contests.
So 90% of his potential today is 70% of his peak?
-
Albert Beckles and Vince Taylor looked better at an older age. He has great genetics but you can't take that amount of time off and expect to come back like you use to. Dude is washed up. No different than if Jerry Rice tried to go out and catch passes in an NFL game.
-
Return to 90 percent and ruin 50 percent of his health.
Sounds like a great plan.

You guys need to put it to rest
He’s not placing top 10 at the O ever again or be any kind of threat in classic. Have you seen the bbers in classic?? They are shredded to the max and Kevin already stated he isn’t going to put his health in jeopardy
Guest posing he does the same poses that are his signature poses which are his strengths and lots of guys are saying he’s back, no hes not
surprisingly, earl is the only one with some sense
Half of y’all are brain dead

Horrible back and legs.

Not this again. His legs improved, but they are not IFBB worthy and his back is not that much better than his legs.

Exactly.
Don't forget RR who is 50 here (1994). Not sure about Lou and Coe.
Not sure why there is so much hoopla surrounding him at 53. He was the one complaining about conditioning, guts etc then comes in out of shape.

Very good point.
Levrone initially thought that he could beat Phil Heath. In reality, he couldn’t beat anybody. It shows just how out of touch Levrone truly is.
What I thought was really sickening was when Levrone admitted to sleeping on the floor with gun and knives around him. Just to remind him that he is at “war”. It made him look like a psychopath.
“Knife boy” better stick to guestposing. Because he is gonna get smoked if he steps on a IFBB pro stage again.

While Lou was younger than Kevin on his comeback , it was a comeback after 18 damn years .

Kevin Levrone won the 2016 Mr. O. It was just in the form of Phil Heath.

robbie looks way better and lou as well, gary strydom looked alot better in his lone comeback. boyer coe to, and albert beckles. there are a few delusional clowns on this forum.

pet shop he also placed higher than kevin levanal as well. kevins "comeback" has been pathetic last place at the olympia and next to last place at a asc in australia, and that was after he blew some judges.

I agree. They all looked better than Levrone in their comebacks. Even Benfatto looked way better than Levrone here at 48 years old (2006 Australia Grand Prix). Put all of these guys on stage with their "comeback physiques" and Levrone places dead last again.
-
Is that Benfatto in 2006? FWIW, shorter guys have an easier time maintaining their size as they age. Vince Comerford was still pretty huge too before he died.

pet shop so Kevin says he will be at 90% of his all time best soon , but he also said he was unwilling to punish himself to get into great conditioning for the Arnold anal classic, so if Kevin was unwilling to do that, how can he get into 90% of his all time best condition ;D

The amelioration of Kev's mental health is part of what is driving this - but he seems to be still putting constraints on what he will allow himself to do.
If he showed up in his 2003 form, he could do well at the Mr. Olympia contest - I think maybe Top 6 at best - but he still wouldn't win. And I'm not even sure if he can get back to how he looked in 2003. That said, it looks to me that he still has "pro" level physique, legs aside. That is hardly an insignificant feat for a man of his age.
It looks like I am a lot more impressed with Kevin that most other people are. Although it is people like me - and fans who are much more excited about Kev's return than I am - who are also a part of what is driving Kev to do this.
-
long live the sport of bodybuilding

A lot of the guys that you people are mentioning here are clearly guys who maintained their physiques.
Kevo went back to nothing.

2003 wouldn’t place him anywhere top 6, he would need 2002, that’s a tall order
The comeback should have been done in 2009 or 2010 I still think
-
Kevin looks terrible. Worst "comeback" ever as shown throughout this thread.
-

Another tall order would be - as your post suggests - Kev's 2003 physique placing in the Top 6, as I suggested. ;D
Since I must say - you are correct about that. Well put.
Perhaps I am thinking that it could pan out like the Georges St-Pierre vs. Johnny Hendricks fight at UFC 167 - I think during close calls in subjectively-judged contests, it is not uncommon for judges to go with the current champ - hence the expression, "You have to knock out the champ"; i.e., decision victories will go to the champ in cases of close calls - and sometimes, not so close calls.
Although I do think my Georges St-Pierre example may not be the best one, as Dana White was completely wrong to say that Hendricks deserved to win that fight because in fights "it's about damage." That's simply not true, and not how UFC fights are judged.
But if Kevin came back as he looked in 2003, deserving to place 11th, he could be gifted 7th or something like that. Arguably, he was gifted 6th in 2003 as it was...but if so, only by a place or two max. I can't see how anyone would have had him placing outside the Top 8 in 2003...but I could see how someone could make the argument that either Darrem Charles or Troy Alves could have beaten Kev, based on conditioning - I think Shawn Ray said in the Battle for the Olympia 2003 DVD that he could see Troy Alves placing 6th, with Kev in 7th. If my memory is correct on that. Also, if my memory is correct on Kev placing 6th, followed by Darrem Charles in 7th, and Troy Alves in 8th [I have not confirmed that on MuscleMemory ;D].
Bah, another post that is too long when I could have been using to attempt to attract as many women as you do, Bevo - women who then LOVE letting you have a taste of their fishy slit. ;D
Back to Kev - on a serious note though, if Kev replicated his 2003 physique and deserved to be 11th or something like that, I could see him being gifted several spots higher, just given the tall order that it would be to produce such a physique, a full 15 years later - although, as you said, for Kev to produce his 2002 physique again would be even more of a tall order [love the expression, by the way].
Lastly - I don't care what anyone says, given that Kev went back to seed, and absolutely sports an IFBB pro bodybuilder caliber physique, I am very impressed. Yeah, his legs are gone, and his back is not much better, but his upper body from the front looks amazing, and he was one of the most aesthetic mass monsters of all time, IMO.

PS - where TF is Giordano? ??? ??? ???
His posts are sorely missed. :( :'(

What bugs Kev and Flex the most is that they never won the Olympia, and had placed second numerous times, and some of those were controversial. Add into the fact they no longer had the adoration of the fans, and had to fall back into being just footnotes, is what they cannot stand. The attention, drama, and fan adoration is what drove their egos before, and what drives their egos now. Quite similar to Ronnie's inability to adjust his training practices for being older and injured.

You pretty much summed it all up, there’s some truth in this, you can tell from them
It’s looking very much like Shawn and jay are the smart ones, Chris too

And Paul Dillett. The guys who were billed as the next Mr. O, and won contests, can't believe that their time has past. And that they have nothing to really fall back on. Shawn had hype, but discipline and a level head. And now he has a family. Jay invested his money wisely, and doesn't need the adoration. Paul came from the CFL, and was also into marketing, he had a failed website that dealt with fitness women, and now he has his own Federation, so he is busy with that. Chris, is doing well with his clients. And the guy who was really hyped up in the early 2000s, Richard Jones, he is apparently happy doing what he does (he may jump into the Classic Division, who knows). Point is, they all are busy doing something other that striving to regain adoration from the fans.
If anything, Flex could combine his martial arts and bodybuilding know how into some sort of training method. Like Charles Glass does with his gymnastics background.
Levrone could get into the providing music for vids, and use the connections he has from the bodybuilding and music industry.

Flex should get a job in a sector that's in his wheelhouse, like the oil industry.

X2.
Considering that at his first Mr.O he was fucking runner up Goddammit !!!!!
I doubt we'll see anyone pulling such a lousy comeback given the rise and fall
WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Levrone just needs to stop all of this horseshit. He is done, done, done. While an impressive building back up of muscle....is it really all that impressive? The guy is a great responder of anabolics...maybe one of the best responders. But not a major feat at his age really if you consider all of that. All he is doing is inviting health problem that he probably had escaped already by retiring years ago. What a fool. And nobody really cares, considering he didnt make a dent. And nobody will care at all about him again...once this charade stops.
-
he looked absolutly terrible last time out, hes shot....

A guy like Dorian Yates or Lee Haney or Michael Francois.... would never pull this shit. They knew when to leave competitive bobybuilding.
Levrone seems to want to follow Nasser —> early death
All for vanity and worthless social media attention. And let’s not forget the stupid lies that spewed after the past 2 contests... his lame excuses for getting last place.

kevin levanal and flex wheeler should both go into gay porn.

he admitted he fucked up ... was off..... like alot of bodybuilders... they look great two weeks out... then get paranoid bc they think they need to do the water thing or carb load crap.... plan accordingly.... know yourself.... kick ass.... Kevin could easily look WAY better ... but like he said... he was a little hesitant about going all in..... he should have...

With what part, diet?
He knows what he's doing he's competed as a pro 100 times. He wasn't nervous, paranoid, hesitant or anything other than off and in poor condition.
He's done.

He looks smelly but that's due entirely to that rat's nest hairdo. If he's not careful, Robbie will wind up like Bill Pettis. I met Robbie in the mid '70s and he seemed a good guy, so no hard feelings but most bodybuilders are pretty lazy. Hopefully that's not the case with him.

He was in Vietnam. He went through boot camp and served in the late 1960’s. He trained with Arnold in the 1970’s. Competed against Sergio, Haney, Yates and Coleman at various points in his career.
Chances are good that he is not lazy.

Eventually, professional bodybuilding corrupts people. It seems like they become liars... or become bitter
Mike Mentzer’s life was basically ruined by the 1980 Mr O results.
Lou Ferrigno seemed like a nice guy in Pumping Iron. Now, everybody here that has met him can’t stand him. Apparently he has tried to sue his own family several times.
Nasser seemed to become quite angry after he retired... turning on his friends.
