1999 British Grand Prix..Kevin at 260 making Ronnie look small.



Doesn't look like he's making Ronnie look small

Random pics...He should have been Mr. Olympia.



His back was a major weakness, that was most likely keeping him from doing so and the rise of Ronnie, flex always being in the running and his diminishing legs further down his career

Kevin had good back width but he needed alot more density.  He lacked density in his bdb pose and his mid and lower back was shallow. That's were he lost to Ronnie.

Ronnie had only become a contender in 1998, although he had started to make a buzz as early as 1995/1996. So, Kevin from 1992 through 1997 was up against the biggest boy, which was Dorian Yates. Nasser only started being taken seriously in 1995/1996? Flex after 1993 wasn't a contender until later on. Shawn was always there. Kevin had multiple opportunities to win in any # of years. He had lost too much weight from 1991 to 1992 and it cost him some places. 1993 he was heavier but still too small for an unexpected beefed up Dorian. 1994 he was catching up in size and 1995 he had arrived, but Dorian had done his homework in 1995, even missing a bicep. 1996 could have been his year, but he came in 240 and depleted. 1997 he was massive and it could have been his year, but Nasser was all the hype and Dorian could not lose in the judges eyes no matter what he brought to the table. Even in 1998 and especially 1999 when Ronnie was arguably at his best Kevin was still huge (more cut in 1999) was still a major contender and imo was better than Flex and especially Cormier. Kevin even had opportunities to take it in the early 2000's. Imo, he was in another league than 6th tier guys like Jay the fridge Gutler and the teenage mutant ninja turtle. Had Kevin showed up with actual size in 2002, he should have taken it, but he was getting smaller by the year and had virtually no lower body anymore. It wasn't in the cards for Kevin, but he had the potential. He just competed in an era with Godlike physiques.

Kevin and Dorian in 1995 I believe. Kevin had finally caught up in size to Dorian, if not surpassing him, but Dorian was still harder and more chiselled, but the gap had shortened. If Kevin had THOSE legs in the early 2000's against Gutler and Coleman of 2002, he would have won.

That's 1994 and Kevin never caught up in size to Dorian. Yates was 262 in 1994 , Kevin was lucky if he was a soft 250, That's the story with Kevin you got two versions , the smaller ripped one or the bigger softer one. He could never quite find the perfect blend of the two

Kevin admitted in a video I stumbled upon to Dorian that he knew he wasn't close to him in size so he would pull a Phil Cheath and take a step closer to the judges.

THEY are all big at there peak size/weight.what made haney/ yates/coleman/prime Arnold is when muscle looks like slabs of meat hanging front to side to back all angles and conditioned that's what makes certain guys really standout and win,pics/videos only show part of it.

Levrone never aged cause who else washes their face with rubbing alcohol?? That's the secret

Hmm, I'll pass. Rubbing alcohol dries out your skin very quickly. If anything, this would make your skin age faster. Plain lukewarm water using a wash cloth and no soap is the way to go. A skiff of coconut oil and you're skin will be soft and wrinkle free.

Kev's way closer to the camera there, you can tell because those two are th same height in real life.

I still think Kevin's best overall look was his 2nd place in the Olympia at Helsinki, his balance separation and skin that year was the best he ever looked, plus in later years his legs looked a little small for his upper body.
