Some of you are so ignorant/naive.
When Kevin was awesome he was 20 years younger and gassed to the rafters. His organs were on life support.
When he attempted to be more reasonable he walked on stage looking a shadow of his best form.
Plus injury/nerve damage which saw his wheels become flat.
He's not challenging anyone.
But as is said, he won't compete, anyway.
Some of that is a bit speculative and I don't know if I agree that he was more reasonable, later on.
To me, the decline could have been due to his strategy of gassing up, for a quick growth into an Olympia. It might have just diminished in effectiveness. The legs may just have not come up in the later years.
Kevin was never fully into bodybuilding - he had other shit he wanted to do and I just don't know if his heart was truly 100% into bodybuilding like most of these pros are. I don't see how he could have been.
I just don't know if I agree about the organs being stressed to the limit unless he has said that. Not ever did he once look unhealthy. I know that might indeed be a naive way of looking at it but the dude has never, ever looked even slightly bad. Not a great gauge, but most of the people who died really did look like they were on their way out.
You couple that with his alcohol thing and the fact that there used to be a few people who were owed money for gear loans on here and you have a pretty difficult history that isn't necessarily just a decline and living on the edge.
I think he is dramatically far away from his former size but we'll see if he does indeed turn up. I don't really give a fuck, to be honest. We'll see the equivalent of the kamali kitchen classic selfies and that's always more interesting than the main thong pageant anyway.
