I CERTAINLY THINK SO! BIG KEV BENCH 495 FOR LIKE 4 WITH BETTER FORM THAN BIG RON! BIG KEV ALSO BEHIND THE NECK SMITH PRESSED 4 PLATES!

POUND FOR POUND, KEVIN LEVRONE = PROBABLY THE STRONGEST UPPERBODYBUILDER EVER!

SHAME HE LOST TO SOME YELLOW TOOTHED FRIDGE NAMED DORIAN YATES.

BUMP FOR THE TRUTH!

BODYBUILDING IS LIKE WAR! YOU GOTTA PUSH TO BREAK THE FLANKS AND DRIVE THE ENEMY BACK!

on pressing movements, maybe...but on pulling movements, Ronnie is stronger

uh oh, you are putting Bluto in a very awkward position. He is going to be torn between which BBer he wants to support in an ironic way.

Ronnie does his 495 AFTER doing 405 for ten.Kevin did 405 for how many?Then Ronnie knocks out an easy 10 on the incline bench with 405.In his other video he toys with 200 pound dbs.Its not even close.By the way,Ronnie doesnt need a smith machine,he uses straight weight and does 315 for twelve in the seated military press.

on battle for the olympia 98, kevin does

405 for 6-8, 455 for 6, and then 500 for 3 or so.

on inclines, 405 for 6 and 455 for 4.

all were done without the spotters hands on the bar, unlike dobson, and 2 weeks before the olympia.

whoever is stronger on presses, it aint by that much.

i don't think Kevin did the 455 for 4 incline but the rest he did.

Why don't we talk about Kevin's "FULL BLOWN" video

You know, where he does his heavy set with 120lb DB's and talks about it as "serious weight"

Ronnie's consistently strong, not just before the Olympia which is when Kev's jacked to the gills and full blown on sauce

BIG RON IS JACKED ALL THE TIME AND ON GH! BIG KEV HAS NO ALIEN GUT TO SPEAK OF AND HANDLES MUCH OF THE SAME WEIGHT WITH A SMALLER FRAME!

I THINK POUND FOR POUND, BIG KEV WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOFOS ON THE BBING SCENE.

THESE DAYS, CLOWNS LIKE JONNY "WILL NEVER BE MR. O, AND NO CALVES" JACKSON STRUGGLE WITH 405. AND HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY REAL CHALLANGE TO BIG RON IN TERMS OF SHEER STRENGTH.

BOOM!

Didn't LEvrone bench 600 when he was younger (Pre M3)

chris_mason · « **Reply #22 on:** July 06, 2007, 04:13:48 PM »

From what I have seen I think they are quite close in their all-time peak pressing power with Levrone having the possible edge. I think Ronnie is clearly superior in overall strength.

In terms of upper body push strength I've heard and read the same.

Overall though Ronnie takes the cake.

Anyone know for sure what weights Levrone pushed years ago?

Bear · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2007, 04:30:50 PM »

Surely Kev's never done a set on video of 495 for 5 like Ronnie has? Maybe 3 or 4 with a forced rep.
Plus like someone above said Ronnie could famously do a proper set of 12 reps on the 200s in his prime, where does Kev match this? Until either of these are beaten with documented proof Kev cannot be called stronger on pressing movements, although it's obviously close. Perhaps waist to strength ratio or something...but that is not the same as actual strength i.e. who can lift the most weight, which, to clarify, is Ron.
