the whole thing with nike and levorne thing is true. from what i was told, the deal didn't amount to anything because weider got in the middle of it. apparently, wieder was piseed that kevin/nike didn't ask weider for his permission. rumor has it that's one of the underlying reasons why levrone never won the olympia !!!!!
Flex is an idiot with a lisp, do you really want him being a spokesperson for BBing.
Flex only had a lisp on the BFTO 97, I gues the GH f-up his jaw (reason for him getting braces). He didn't sound like that in his Hardbody vid or Mass Constrution.
it's slight but it's there, still.
kevin was very very big guy on stage,, he was symetric and proportional but he was a mass monster,,at 250 he looked 265-270 and looked every bit of it,,kevin was a symetric beast that SHOULD HAVE WON it sometime during the 90s between dorian and ron
We definitely agree. Besides Escilene how do you account for his massive arms and delts GH?
phenominal response to hormones,,site inections,,and training the muscle not the ego,,and yes ron is one of a kind,,but kevin was a lot better than jason and jason got a title,,it's all about timing in life
Flex, Shawn, or Kevin... either of them could have taken the sport in a new and I believe better direction... simply because they were not going to play the "MASS" game with anyone who came along... they would without a doubt played the better is better, not bigger is better game.
as long as there taking steroids there is no way this "Sport" is going mainstream, hell even natural bodybuilding does not register an interest with anyone
Because many women want the metrosexual Beckham/Pitt look and think that is muscular. I mean these people think TO is a beast, C'mon.
It isn't so much the steroid issue. People see super-muscular men on a regular basis (i.e. professional wrestling). If you watch the CW network's promos, you'll likely see Dave Batista gracing the screen.Bodybuilders aren't perceived as athletes, because, to the average Joe, they do NOTHING with their muscles. They don't bodyslam people; they don't perform any feat of strengh or speed.Another factor is that bodybuilding has very few casual fans, in other words, people who love bodybuilding that DO NOT lift weights or compete themselves (or are related/romantically linked to those that do).
the only reason coleman beat levrone in 00 annd 02 was due to colemans incredible/best ever back. when ronnie truned around the show was over. kevin looked better than ronnie from the front. have you all notice in the "o" posedown, whenever kev got close to ronnie to pse , ronnie would turn around and hit back shots.
there was no secret to kev's training. he did all the basic lifts with heavy heavy weight 6-8 reps. he only trained 4-5 month for every show . however he trained his ass off when getting ready.
Would having Shawn or Flex as Mr. O have changed what they Olympia bodies would have looked like? No more big bellies, wrinkly skin on backs, and size, just for size sake? Would that have taken bbing to another level, being that Shawn already had a show on Espn back in the day, and Flex was linked to Dr. Dre, bridging a gap to the hip-hop culture. Both making it cool to workout, both having two distinct styles, like Kenneth Cole shoes versus Wheat colored Timerlands.Or would it not matter, and we would still see the Gh guts and. deformed bodies
don't worry girlsthe wrath of frank mcgrath will bring the universe back to the proper state
