Announcement at the Pittsburg Pro.

If true, his return to thong battle will be an epic failure.

This is all he's got really... drugs and bodybuilding.

Earl just exploded.

I'm not surprised...They need to sell tickets and up the excitement factor

No Kai again and the show could be another snooze fest. At least this will give a lot of people something to look forward to...especially those who miss the good ole days.

Def has been upping the dose and responding. That pec tear still haunts him but not enough to keep him from benching heavy.

I wonder what he'll look like onstage. He better have a prep coach is he wants to look good. I would enjoy seeing Kevin standing next to Phil if Kevin was in good shape.

Fortress · « **Reply #8 on:** May 07, 2016, 06:43:05 PM »

Maybe he can tuck an American flag into his thong and then yank it out after a coupled woop-woops and toss it to some salivating schmoes!

Oh, wait ...

He hasn't learned anything form Piano and CT! Just curse, eat, and train on video. Oh and sell tees and hats.

He probably announced it and subsequently was like wtf did I just do!

IF he competes I see him placing 5-6 at best

I suppose we'll see if he can get in this shape.

His CT scan looked good why ruin it and why would he want to blast all the drugs necessary to stand on that stage.

mr white do u think this is a marketing strategy by kevin to generate instrest in the supplement line he has.

Oh no doubt. Such a crowded field so not sure if even this will help drive his brand.

Until you mentioned it I forgot he had fart powders!

I actually think he needs a bit more time and should do the Arnold Classic next march.

The Scott · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2016, 07:59:44 PM »

Still a handsome man more than capable of doing well. Of course he may well "injure" himself a few weeks out... I hope not. I'm guessing he's figured out a way to clone his own organs for rejection free transplants down the road...

The Abbey Road to Dialysis.

Yeah... This gif thing just cracks me up.

Ha that is a good one!

He's 51 and should just enjoy being jacked for awhile. Putting size on is one thing but stepping on stage is a whole different ball game at that age.

It's like the Masters in Golf. Once qualified (or if you won a major) always qualified.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. A mysterious pull or something that happens after they sell tickets! It won't be the same

They are calling it a "special invite" so that's what made no sense.

they've done special invites since way back. one year they invited Matt Mendenhall. when there was resistance he decided that it wasn't fair for him to compete when he hadn't even got his pro card.

Not so much. His stuff does really well in Europe.

It's the NPC/IFBB. Last year's Olympia was really lackluster and I think they need to drum up some enthusiasm because Kai will not be competing. Some nostalgia would be nice

I also think they're worried about Lee Thompson. It will be a little while before his operation gets off the ground but still I think there's something to it

No top-tier bodybuilding comeback has been successful (don't even mention Arnold).

When an athlete (yeah, yeah, yeah) is cruising at a high level, to just step off the gas for even a year is the death knell. Especially so if he's over 35. The machine's gotta be kept buzzing.

Unfortunately, bodybuilding requires drugs, and lots of them, so the practicality of running the gear for prolonged periods of time becomes very unwise.

Still, a gassed lifter can maintain a hardcore weight-training regime while off, but really, how many do?

Levrone responds amazingly to shit. However, with the passing of so many years and his physique deteriorations having been painfully obvious then, it's a certainty he'd now appear on stage but a speck of what he once was.

If he's serious ... Bad idea, Kevin.
