Does anybody know what Levrone used primarily to build up his triceps over the years? All the pros have their favorites (Coleman and his overhead extensions, etc.)
-
weights 8)
-
According to his video mmm it was the all mighty cable rope pushdowns 30 reps with a syringe sticking out on the back side.
-
Synthol overhead presses..
-
does anyone have any shots of Levrone's triceps in the early 90's?
I recall they were striated back then.
Later in his career (late 90's) they seemed to lose their striated look ???

Levrone had a fairly narrow grip in the benchpress, so a lot of triceps when he benched.
And we all know that Levrone was one of the biggest benchers among the pros.
I'd say DJ could match him. But other than that, I doubt there are any BB's that were as strong in the benchpress.

It wasn't me, probably earl..

CG benches-but he uses the same exercises as anyone else, the difference is genetics for the most part.

CG benches-but with his genetics I think several different exercises all helped.
Too bad bench presses didn't help his chest..

Work on your quoting techniques as I don't understand a thing you type. Levrone had a mediocre chest compared to the greats.

Primarily?.....I'd say Testosterone because all cycles should be built around test.
Regardless he had some of the best tris ever, the rest of him wasn't too bad either.

Alexx nice one man! I never saw that pic before! But get that spunk out of your eyes, because Levronies Chest was fantastic..
ARMZ, come one. Levronie didnt use synothol in his arms.
And as ar as the thread originators question, it doesnt matter what Levronie did for triceps..his Insane Arms, Delts, and traps, are simply genetic gifts of levronie, that just looked AWESOME...

Yup. that question always makes me laugh. What do you do for X? same fvcking thing that you do.

Wait a second, I thought you were "natural"? ::)
-
Synthol overhead presses..
you really think so?
He had huge triceps before syntol was around and they were allways straited. Syntol kinda blurs out straitions since its not mysclefibers puching out in the fascia but oil.

Amen Groink...notice we all do the same , work hard..etc..only variable is someones diet..genetics, and what "else" they take..

You prove to me your a mindless, moronic tool everyday...
My point was, (if you were as hard working as some of us) training, dieting, and doing everything possible, will yeild different results from individual to individual... In reference to what Levronie did for his Triceps, is DOESNT MATTER, because there is NO MAGIC movement to get you LEVRONIE TRICEPS, or a COLEMAN BACK, or CUTLER legs... Your a dense stupid mother fuker Brianx.

Same thing i said a page earlier. ;D Once all the best exercises are found there's no magic formula, just hard work, diet, rest, etc.

everything about him lost his look in the latter part of his career.

alexxx i know you are a levroneite so i will take it easy on you but how on earth could you think that chest is weak?
it may not be the biggest ever but his chest shape is far superior to most

from FLEX, nov 2005
KEVIN LEVRONE
The one quality that most separated the Maryland Muscle Machine from the challengers who saw him win 20 IFBB pro contests was his fullness. Levrone's biceps didn't peak, but they didn't need to; they remained at the same lofty height from shoulder to elbow, as if he had filled in the valleys beside the mountains. Coupled with his tremendous triceps, he seemed to have cinder blocks for arms.
"It's important that you do full movements for your triceps, because
locking out is when your triceps work their hardest. Flex and squeeze at
the contraction of each rep to hit all three triceps heads."
--Kevin Levrone
KEVIN LEVRONE'S TRICEPS ROUTINE
EXERCISE SETS REPS
Close-grip bench presses 4 6-8
Lying triceps extensions 4 6-8
Cable pushdowns 4 20-25
One-arm dumbbell triceps extensions 4 6-8

I see a feud starting ;D

Kevin is one of the coolest guys I've ever had the privilege of training with - the man taught me a lot.

His chest will be much better than yours regardless whatever drugs or injection you used in your entire life..

That is the body of a real Mr. Olympia should be.. Not nothing bloated like Ronnie even though he has some good bodyparts but he ain't good enough overall

this is why levronie was digusted, and eventually just walked away from the crap... he def is one of the top 5 bb of all times.
-
does any 1 have his biceps routine..i heard he mostly used dumbells for his arms...he rarely uses a barbell...thats why his biceps had a thick look to them..his biceps peak were huge.his overall biceps made his arms look even bigger than they usually were

You've completely ignored what was mentioned earlier: development's mostly genetic assuming an assortment of good exercises are used.

Size tends to make arms look big. ::)

ALL DRUGS

Synthol.

Synthol.

Dude, fill us in! You trained with the cool cat?!!
I was in Vegas last year, cruising around the expo..was kinda :-\ Then I saw LEvronie! I was like 8) It was awesome meeting him....he was so cool.
-
YOU TRAINED WITH HIM ???
HOW? :o :o
E
I joined his gym back in 1997, E, and was a member until he sold it and went to Hollywood.
Kevin helped me train for the NPC Maryland in 2002 and 2004 and I would occassionally train with him.
Defintely one of the coolest cats on the planet. Very laid back and always willing to help anyone who was serious about their training.
The man taught me a lot and I'm happy to call him a friend.

Were you the sleeveless shirt wearing kid in m3?

Not much to say really. There was a small group of us that were always training for a competition or helping our gym mates train. We would also train with the Big K from time to time. I mean, why would anyone turn that down? It was a great chance to learn and the guy is a hell of a motivator.
-
Were you the sleeveless shirt wearing kid in m3?
No.
-
Yeah...........lots and lots of DRUGS GH, testosterone. anadrol, etc.). Oh yeah...and syringes too.

Hey My name is EArl..........your an asswipe.
-

Because the simple fact that Big K is one of the all-time best bodybuilders speaks for itself.
You can't make a man see the light if he insists on keeping his eyes shut.
-
earl, w8liftr helped several guys who wanted to compete in the dc, md , va area
-

Actually he had no biceps peak, he had the same type of biceps that Sergio did, full from delt to elboe, but not peaked, as Dillett would call it "Flat Biceps". No "Pop" factor like those who have peaks.
