2016 Olympia - Kevin Levrone Comeback Thread
« on: June 27, 2016, 02:13:55 PM »
I already saw the banner BATTLE of the ERAS

And Kevin couldn't be happier, he's back on the spotlight after failing as a rock and movie star ...
He's even canceling appearances as we speak, because of his workout pre O' regime" ...

Let's say he does compete, and he comes as his all time best (he's aiming for the shredded pilled look and doesn't care about balloon thighs) he will win some poses from the side and will be the crowd favorite...

but just because he wants to bring the 'classy 90's Look does not mean that the judging criteria will be the same like back in the mid 90's, and  Kevin should know better since he competed with the mass monster too... So he will be beaten from the back by almost every top guy on stage

However;  he will crack top six like jay did in his last O , because of his name ....


Will he comeback next year?

what will he do to keep himself in the spotlight ? come back next year?  sell his comeback movie to Netflix (yes he is that delusional)

try another attempt to the big screen ??

let's hope his heart can take all the stress.....

Btw, Kevin asked Bob Chick How does he think he'd do next to Phil, Dex etc and Bob chickened out sayin "if someone can pull it off  it's you man "



WooSHHHHHHHHH   BE YE KE

The judging criteria never changed. I don't know why people say that.

It was just as much about mass monsters in the 90s. But if not in shape they didn't do well. Same as today. Levrone was a mass monster.

 This is probably an attempt to get a sponsor with a product targeting the older bodybuilder.

I mean the insulin gut, today, when you hit Back double biceps, your lower back muscles have to pop out , the judges don't care if the gut is touching the coutains  on the back , you place higher...

25 years ago or so, Guys like labrada, Demey, Gaspari and Paris were the classic look ' you didn't had to have a Colemanesque back as long you had great lines and a V shape ... Kevin placed 2nd in 92 based on this criteria .

He hasnt had much leg mass since like 1999... So that's 17 years ago. And he's supposed to be better now than 17 years ago. Highly doubt it. His upper body could possibly be Close to his early 2000 upper body. But doubt even that. And I don't Think he has the balls to do all the drugs it takes to win at this age anyways.

Gaspari was considered blocky and too freaky with the vascularity in his era, go figure, when we look at what wins today

2000 ASC. Half-assed his prep and still looks pretty decent. I think this should be what we expect from him at best. It can't compete with Philsulin, sadly. Top 10 maybe.

Judging went down the shitter.

Has anything regressed so much as bodybuilding?

I mean... look at football. It's like instead of advancing from the leather helmet. Meanwhile posing trunks turned into female thongs and aesthetics in a "physique" sport are entirely absent.

Agree 100%

Look at those photos of Levrone above your post of him with a half assed physiques....sadly that is exactly what a Mr O should look like...and thats not a slam at Phil as he is just playing the game of what the judges reward, they all do.

Yet he wasn't a mass monster with a big gut , as for extreme vascularity ,It's exactly what Kevin is trying to achieve at 52 ...Kevin is not playing the mass game this time,  he's trying to bring the "classic look" he thinks he is above the current competitors in terms of quality

You Can't compare Rich with "what's winning"  today


WooSSHHHHHHHH

I think that Gaspari's arms weren't round enough. His arms didn't look right look due to less than ideal muscle attachments.

Compared to his legs, Gaspari's arms were too small.

Kevin's back and legs will not be there. He didn't have them 16 years ago and he won't have them now.

Gaspari made probably the most of the worst aesthetics.

Ramy and Kai to name but two,  are mess monsters.

As said, he'll have thin legs, a crummy back and be largely "deflated".

Reality is about to smack Levrone and his nutswingers square in the face.
