Author Topic: Levrone barely able to bench 315 pounds nowadays (Read 7210 times)

Age has certainly taken it's toll on Kevin. This man was benching 400 for 12 with EASE and 500 with EASE. Hell, he was even putting up 600 pounds until he tore his pec in 1993. He's BARELY able to do a full 2 reps with 315 pounds. So, in 5 weeks, he MILDLY increased his strength from his first in the gym video. Is it the lack of drugs, or is it age, or is he just talking too much nowadays and not getting down to business enough?

Are you kidding? First week we saw Kevin getting a major spot on the one rep with 315lbs. This time he is doing it with ease by himself.

Damn impressive to me!

Are you serious?? When Kevin was doing 405 for 12, he was on heavy anabolics, I'm sure if he wanted to he could still get back to that weight.

he is not doing it 'naturally' assholes.......its amazing how gullible some people are...........do you understand how much steroids this man has taken, he takes a gram of test like others would take an advil, he would nerver touch a weight without being on gear.

He is pretty big and stronger for a natural. Making really fast progress. Great genetics.

He did easy reps. Good progress.

But he is definitely NOT ON DRUGS. Which is a good thing.

Brother...

First...why should he use drugs now? What's the point? He is almost 45 years old and he is not a stupid kid from the gym...he's an IFBB legend with the best contest history of all time. He don't want to prove anything anymore. He just loves the spotlight, loves bodybuilding, wants to motivate his fans and wants some hype.

Second...in 5 weeks an average stupid kid could achieve a better progress on drugs. If Kevin would use drugs (with one of the best genetics ever in bodybuilding) he could be a whole different person in 5 weeks...

Why? Why does Milos still use insulin and growth and steroids? He will never compete again!

Why does Strydom still use tons of drugs?

Why did Nubret use lots of drugs into his 70s?

I agree that he doesn't look like he's on a "real" stack but there's tons of reasons retired bodybuilders find for using drugs. Come on now.

i agree, but i heard hes endorsing a new product and i assume he has to show the dramatic results we all know from these adds and that deciding factor is drugs.
consumers want to be midleaded.

bodybuilding is a steroid culture... why wouldn't a bodybuilder use drugs anyway...

if the attained drug muscles could be maintained as good as natural muscles i would agree.

I'm amazed at Steve's thought process. Why would Levrone use drugs?!!
