Maybe Kevin thinks deadlifts are less comfortable than cable rows with 220 pounds?

Yes but drinking high amounts of alcohol on a daily basis also scars the liver. And he apparently didn't have any problems with that :-\

'Levrolympia' is neither witty or catchy.

Looks and sounds idiotic.

A lot of bodybuilders don't do deadlifts, some don't even squat...

Levrone was also missing chunks of thickness in his back, specifically in detail and lower back...

The pics of Matt Kroc comes to mind. Powerlifter Matt Kroc decided to do a bodybuilding show. Which show it was i can't remember. What i can remember is that he had a thight waist.

How do you explain that? Can someone post the pics?

levrone is one of the best ever, only ronny and dorian blew him away from behind, maybe he was right

free weight squats and deadlifts do thicken your waist...

ive got to add, seen a few young'ns doing side bends with dumbells..they must be going for the cutler look

Flex blew him away in terms of detail, but not width

Also, Brian Buchanan used to squat heavy, and it never thickened his waist, and Melvin Anthony as well (front, and reg squat, and deadlift)

I remember reading the exact same quote in a Kovacs interview. He did however recommend that beginners and intermediate bodybuilders do deadlifts.

Yeah, the poor guy found out too late that deadlifts give you that bloated blocky look..

But training like Levrone won't give you the Levrone look either.

Bet if he had performed more deads like Robins he'd have moved from the .5% super elite bbs on the planet to the .4% extra super elite bbs on the planet.

Levrone's back was only average.  It was his crazy triceps and equally crazy delts that allowed him to hold his own in most back comparisons.

That said, he had an epic legendary physique. His twisted front most muscular is still unmatched in bodybuilding.
