Levrone lost size because

[oldschoolfan]

True but where are the heavy squatting video's or high rep Squat video's with decent weight? The guy was doing 1000 pound leg presses with his knees wrapped and doing Kamali 1/4 reps. There are girls in gyms all across the Globe who can do those kind of numbers on zero drugs at a weight of 140 pounds. Sure age was a factor, but the guy seriously did not train lower body in any type of way that would put him or anyone on the Olympia stage. There's video evidence of his training. It's not made up BS. And he was probably on just as much or more drugs than anyone on stage. Someone had to of paid him to do the Olympia and to get paid in full he had to step on stage. I'm sure he'll come out and say he couldn't train legs hard or heavy because of injury. But that's horseshit. If you're injured to the point you can barely step on that type of stage, you don't go thru with it.

kevin  had schmoes and rich smelly arabs supporting hes a 52 year old man child kevin has the mentality of an 18 year old.

that early version could have CRUSHED it at the 2016 Olympia.  I don't see how that wouldn't win.

Definitely more striated today than in his heyday, but at the expense of appearing to be 30-40 pounds lighter (no way was he the 243 he claimed to be. More like 215-220).

[Danimal77]

He never stopped training from 2009 up until now, from 2008 and back prob yes but he's been consistent for 7 yrs now

Actually, that's not true. He trained in 2009 and 2010 and then STOPPED until the Fall of 2015 when he had his sights on this years Mr. 0.

[Danimal77]

Sorry, but that's MAX 215-220 there (not a laughable 243) considering he was 225 in 1992 WITH legs and a thicker upper body. The comparison pic is of him at at least 250. Night and day.

[Danimal77]

Very true so that leaves Dexter, but Dex is still you younger than Kevin by at least 5 years

And Vince Taylor.

I know this helped hype the Olympia but his interview with flex put this whole thing over the top for me. The lord helped him blah, blah. It was Kia esc blither.

He lifted weights, ate, upped the dose and dieted. And he looked nothing like this.

Yet he claimed to be 18 pounds heavier than that 1992 appearance where he actually had legs and a thicker upper body? Can't believe he claimed 243. He was 249 in this 1998 pic, yet he claims to be only 6 pounds lighter at this years Mr. O?

I don't believe it, maybe he didn't publicly publicize it but I've seen him a handful of times in 2013 and 2014, he's was in decent shape, def lifted and didn't look like he stopped completely

Levrone lies a lot, like u said he claimed 252 2 wks out and said he's around 240's on stage. Now did he look it? Hmmm

He def didn't look 18 pounds over his 92 showing correct? He was 220 at best imo and that's being generous after seeing the pics and comparisons

[Bevo]

How does he have absolutely no calves whatsoever?? Aren't calves one of the last muscles to fade? Even without training many people still have calves even if their quads are gone

Yeah, I don't wanna speak ill of him at all because I'm a huge fan and think he really pulled off something insane with his showing. But I think that's his insecurity showing. He's gotta put on a little showmanship for the fans, and probably a bit for himself as well. It must have been a serious mental game too, especially when he started getting more cocky as time progressed.

He walked the walk though. That was the only cool thing about this year's O. I expected the legs to suffer from nerve damage and wear and tear. Shoulders were massive and he hit that side chest pretty insane all things considered. Was super cool to see him on stage. A prime Kevil woulda smoked the stage, even if Heath tried stepping over the line.

I'm guessing 225-230 on stage weight

His lower body alone is 20 lbs less than prime lol

This^^^

Bottomline is that he stopped training for aloooooooooooong time and took only 5 months to come back. In that loooooooong layoff age took over. Don't compare him to Vince Taylor or anyone other pro that's even close to his age. They didn't stop training. He did.

Exactly period.
