Do you think Levrone is ever gonna make a comeback?

[IronMagazine.com]

?

I think yes.....some good signs at his myspace page.......

most likely once he realizes he is not going to make it in Hollywood, I don't say that to be negative, but the chances of someone his age going from pro bodybuilder to successful actor are pretty slim.

The idea sounds nice but taking a 185-190 body to a bulked 280s and down to a ripped 260 at 42 years old is not a healthy idea. Even if he did, he's not facing some slotches that he even at his best could just easily walk over. If he came back I am sure he would be aiming for getting the Mr. Olympia and where he is now thats' like a blind-folded, full court, hook-shot while sitting down.   Kevin is an icon of bb and has nothing else to prove.

you obviously are still at the stage where you are buying up the LB's bullshit the pros yapp about

i hope so

we shall see

What's up Earl 

Good to see a fellow Levroneite back on Getbig 

[Matt C]

i hope so

Same here.

Is 43 really too old?  Kevin has been off the heavy juice for a while and I bet he would respond very well.  Historically he always has.  It's basically certain that he would be top 10.  I could see him doing very well.

 He was a great BB but  he is finished now.

[Matt C]

He was a great BB but  he is finished using gear now.

Fixed.

What would happen if he started using again?

Actually, he is.  A Levrone in his prime would have won the O in 2006 and 2007.  But that's the rub...  he's not in his prime.  Once these 40-y/o guys retire for a few years, it's near impossible for them to get back to form even if they wanted to.

True in general, but Levrone isn't just your average bodybuilder.

 Hell he used to not even train until time to get ready for the O . He would literally transform in a few months.

[AVBG]

No, next question.

[G o a t b o y]

Hell he used to not even train until time to get ready for the O . He would literally transform in a few months.

Even if he could, which I don't belive he can, why would he?  What's the point now?  He's in his 40's.  He's not at the start of a 6 or 8 year run as Mr O that would set him up financially for life.  At best he might win it once.  Why bother?

[ToxicAvenger]

kevin is be a pro that realistically could come back...


back before he retired and all those years he only trained maybe 5 months out of the yr...he always "grew into" the olympia..


if he actually trained consistently ....not his style though.....he'd rather pick up chicks at cancun cantinas!  cant fault him 4 that though! 

[Karpaasi]

He wouldn't have a chance against the pros today.

Man.. this is one of the most stupidest things I've ever read. Kevin competed against the best bodybuilders of the history of this sport. He has beaten basicly everyone including the current top-3 Olympia guys(Jay, Victor and Dexter).

[Moosejay]

Blatant gift from uncle Joe.   (plus Arnold was barely 30 at the time)

He was 33

Chris Dickerson, Whom I believe was 43 or 44 when he won his Olympia title in 1982, was not, in his case, 'too old' (nor was Coleman in 2005 at age 42).

However, he hadn't taken a layoff akin to what Kevin has with his bb career.

True...but layoffs always seemed to work for Levrone.

Sure. It may be a good thing for someone such as he.
