of course he did

there's a better chance of milos squating 225 for 3 then that.

[davidpaul]

check out his legpress technique in any of his vids.

that will give you a good idea.

[Bluto]

I'm glad you brought this up, for the last 3,5 years I haven't got any sleep worrying about this subject...

hahahahaha, he claimed to use 18 45lb. plates on each side as well.

Ronnie squatted a heavy double with 800 lbs, right?

Fully equipped, although the wraps could've been tighter, probably the suit too. But equipped nevertheless.

Levrone was supposedly an awesome squatter back in the days, but I have a hard time he would surpass Ronnie.

7 reps with 700 lbs @ a bodyweight of cerca 240-250 lbs (around 1992-1994 probably), belt only...

No fcuking way.

But it's probably not Levrone's fault, didn't someone post awhile back about how FLEX always added 100 lbs to every lift? So 7 reps with 600 lbs, that's still crazy, and especially at that bodyweight.


BTW, I think Greg Merritt was supposed to be the guy who added the poundages to all his articles, is he the guy who wrote the Levrone article?

[Bluto]

I'm shocked that bodybuilders exaggerate their lifts.

Good we have our very own SHERLOCK SARCASM who's on to them and their devious ways!

[Dog Chapman]

[ribonucleic]

Earl1972 should be along shortly to claim that Levrone was actually understating his poundages - in order to spare the other pros' feelings. 

[kyomu]

i think he could do it.
Melvin can do it couple of it so..

thats absolutely true...my friend Magic Dane used to squat with Kev back in the day...i never witnessed it personally but Magic used to always try and compete with kev..and i've seen magic put up 700 for a triple..and magic always said kev ws way stronger..

now if i could only get in touch with magic..i'd make him come here and confirm that...he used to own a powerhouse in centerville VA but when i 411 for it now the lady tells me there r no pwerhouse gyms in the area..so he prolly changed the name of the gym..
WTF r ya magic?  ..this is J...

AHAHAHAHA!!!   Yes, I remember an episode of FLEX Workout with Boyer Coe, Shawn Ray and Kevin where Boyer asked Kevin about his regular poundages and Kevin said, "550lb bench presses and 800lb squats for reps."

i'm pretty sure kevs doubled 800..and thats from before he turned pro..

[Man of Steel]

I believe it's possible that he squatted 1 or 2 reps with 800lbs, but he made it sound like he squatted and pressed those poundages weekly for 8-10 reps.

nah....i'm pretty sure i heard magic say once that kev tripled 800 ...again..this ws before he turned pro and ws training more like a powerlifter..


kev used to work for magic back then....think kev helped magic run muscle beach..a bbing clothes store in OC maryland..

[alexxx]

Most likely on the machine. I read somewhere that he could shoulder press 405 pounds.. well then I saw it was on you guessed it a machine. Most pros do that.

[Royalty]

There is a dude at my gym that squats 700lbs. This dude is 215 lbs at 5'5. He is thick. I bet Levrone could hit 700 for 7 back in 1992. Levrone used to be 270-280 in the off season back then. (I saw that leg training episode where he made the claim)

[pobrecito]

Levrone was one of the strongest pros genetically, however, had had a lower body injury which prevented him from training legs heavy after 95 or so, hence his lower body atrophy. I would not put a 700lb squat past levrone.

[20inch calves]

i could see 700 for a double but 7reps seems like alot.
