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 ???

And we all know that Levrone was one of the biggest benchers among the pros.

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

Regardless he had some of the best tris ever, the rest of him wasn't too bad either.

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
