Kevin Levron Video 8 weeks out!

[Azure]

I'm with Disgusted on this one.

I've been to about 8 Mr. Olympias over the last 36 years and this is one in over the last 10 years that I actually want to go and see.

Kevin gives us old timers a sense of nostalgia and actually packs quality muscle. We've seen others try come backs and they haven't been successful at all (think Samir Bannout at the 2011 IFBB Pro World Masters Bodybuilding 11th). Kevin might be different. Very few of these IFBB pros have been able to pull off Kevin's 2.5 month Olympia prep, literally from a small 190 lbs to a full 250lbs.

Fuck, for what it's worth, I'd much rather see the kind of quality muscle Kevin will bring as opposed to the bloated messes we typically see on stage.

"1"

Last year was terrible. From Friday night prejudging where Phil looked terrible and still got straight firsts to the sleepy energy on the stage I would have been angry if I was a fan and paid to see that.  Kebin will bring excitement to the stage of he competes. He said the competitions are boring these days and he's right. Nobody has charisma and stage presence is terrible. Those guys from the 90's were extremely charismatic and they looked so much better.

Says a lot that the main attraction will be a 52 year old man who hasn't been on stage in 13 years.  Is he holding an afterparty cause that's the one to go to.

Too far from Ramy.

I didnt think rear delts could be over developed. but i think they are in Big Ramy's case.

[bailey]

People saying how much Kevin weighs from looking at arm pics, and one distorted bathroom pic. No one on here has seen any pics of Kevin full body, like recent Ramy pics. It's absurd to even guess his weight from gym pics only showing his arms. ( his best body part) most of your weight comes in the form of thickness, legs and back! I have not seen Kevin on a scale? Some of you crack me up   225-235 LMFAO. Dexter weighs that in competition shape at 5 foot 6. Right now from the gym pics ( not showing anything ) but arms? Not even 225, and that's being kind! Again, I'm a huge Levrone fan. I say this over and over. But I'm keeping it real. Unless there is a video of Kevin stepping on a medical scale, without all of his sweats. You experts   need to stop with the estimations. I said it before. If you are proud and happy with your physique, most of the time you will be happy to show it. He shows those arms in every video. But nothing else. That should speak volumes. Stop predicting his weight unless you have seen him on the scale. On top of it all, weight/scale do not matter anyway. Quality/Proportions/Conditioning/Stage presence/Posing/Color, etc,... All mattter. And once again, LEGS & BACK,CALVES to go with your arms and chest! We shall see?

yup I agree about the boring part as well, you had personalitys in bunches from the 1990s hell Lee Haney had that aura as did the great Schwarzenegger Oliva and Scott back in the late 1960s-1970s did in spades, Kevin was a outstanding bodybuilder @ his best incredible genetics etc like most guys that trained our guts out in the gyms in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s we WANT Kevin too do well and as far as I'm concerned if Kevin does in fact make it into the TOP 10...IMO he's won in his fight against Father Time.

[bailey]

You are forgetting what the top ten look like these days. With a few exceptions! Not like it used to be. Kai won't be up there, so realistically from 6 place on would not have placed in the top 15 in 1996. That's how bad the competition is now. Only serves Kevin well.

[anabolichalo]

Not even scaled properly^^^^^^^^^^

What will most likely happen to Levrone (Below)

this

[bailey]

I'll even revise that now that I think of it. 6-10 at the "O" now would not have placed in the top 15 from 1990-2000.

[anabolichalo]

so why does levron not get the "narrow" comments?

[Van_Bilderass]

No oil in that physique just lots of Esiclene. People are so screwed up today as far as what they think is oil. Esiclene has a temporary inflammatory effect on the muscle. I doesn't destroy the shape of the muscle like a quick huge dose of these oils that are being used today. I have actually used Esiclene as far as injecting it into a friend of mine who competed back in the 90's. You have to use a  lot of it to get the right effect. The muscle swells within it's own foot print so to speak meaning it will be a bigger version. Oil just distorts. E was water based if I remember correctly or a very thin oil. The carrier fluid did little to nothing to swell the muscle.


With thick oil you just get this odd lump after you inject a lot. It can be done right but you are limited with how much you do and how it's injected is very important, that's if you want it to look natural. Also you will have zero striations after injecting oil and if you look you will see the Flex still has them in his delts. I will agree that at this point in his career he was trying to play the size game with Ronnie and no one can ever do that. That's certainly not the 93 version of Flex but he still is in excellent shape there.

Nah, that isn't Esiclene. Flex was friends with "Chris Clark" and Chris intimated Flex was very familiar with his product. Flex's calves in that pic are worst oil job I've seen on a pro, completely deformed. I don't agree he has striations in his delts there, completely smooth. Flex himself admitted Synthol use. Talked about Esiclene too but also the oil.

We can agree to disagree. I talked to Chad and he told me how much Flex would inject before a show. As far as Kress goes he's a fruit loop and made lots of "claims" about who used his Miglyol 812.

[bailey]

The question is: What will Kevin do now that Esicline is not made anymore? (To my knowledge) there is another substance they give to men with erectile dysfunction known as Caverject. It's a vasodilator. Acts in the same way Esiclene does with no muscle distortion. Of course it was not made for BB, but we know how that goes.

Caverject does not work the same way and it's shit. It does nothing like the old Esiclene.

But the Esiclene was for last minute touch-ups, it's not like he or anyone built their physique with it. So how "needed" was it? It just inflamed the muscle a bit.

[bailey]

Disgusted: I'm just going by a friends application of it. Said it was painfull, but it did swell a small body part  and it stayed hard for a few hours! So that's a first hand account. Are you telling me you have tried it? If not.... Well

[bailey]

And VB: When you use a shitload of Esicline, it made a big difference!!! Notice Kevin's Delts and calves in particular. At times they were way down, and other times they were great. Not talking about offseason. I would put up pics, but too lazy right now.

Know plenty of guys who have I never hear of it being used by anyone anymore.

So in your opinion Flex never used oil despite claiming he did? What do you think about the stories about how Flex would poke his calves with a needle to build scar tissue?
His calves looked horrible, very misshapen.

I remember Ernie Taylor... how even Dorian swore Ernie never used any oil.

[Disgusted]

I never said he didn't use oil at anytime in his career. I was told that he used over 100 amps right before a show. What you are seeing in that particular pic is NOT synthol. Never heard the scar tissue rumor. I'll add this, I do believe that Flex put MCT oil in his calves. That is exactly why they were so misshapen. What people don't realize is that after a time that stuff will eat away at your muscles hence the reason he pretty much has zero calves anymore.

If that pic is Esiclene then it certainly didn't result in hard striated muscle in his case. Not a single striation in his delts.

[Disgusted]

I'll say again, in the pic that was posted by Be There he has striations in his delts. Do you really think that he had 100's of ml's of oil in his delts chest lats and arms? Come on man you ought to know better than that. Also, almost no one has striated delts in a BDB. You have to be pretty ripped to see that.

[Disgusted]

Not a single delt striation to be found. Full of oil?

[Van_Bilderass]

If he put MCTs in his calves why not the rest of his body? I'm sure he put regular gear all over as well. Flex said he put Synthol in his arms.

[bailey]

Disgusted: thanks for clarifying. So you have not used it, but you know plenty who have? Hmmmm, Ok I'm telling you that I have seen it first hand if you can read between the lines and it does work!!!!! Having an (Expert) under your profile name is going to your head. You are not an expert on quite a few things BB related!  I won't say too much more, but I have never seen you on dozens of magazine covers or in the mags dozens of times...... I'll leave it there on that. You see , there is a big difference between practical application, and or having tried or used certain things before. It's one thing to read about actual application and results, or hear from so called friends. It is another to have actual personal first hand knowledge of these things on what you speak of. (once again you can read between the lines) So your so called "Expert" status, should be taken with a grain of salt. Especially if you are rebutting experience from someone who might know for a fact about the things he is talking about. Not all, but quite a bit. Humble up a bit. You don't know everything. This I know for a fact!!!!!! Anyway, onward we commence!

OMG OK gonna explain this to you as best as I can. Oil in biceps and calves maybe tris OK. Oil in delts chest lats or legs not OK. When you inject oil it spreads over the muscle about a 3 square inch area. In the calves it doesn't look so bad, but even in the biceps it will lump up. Ever see when these guys arms are relaxed at their sides? Ever see the lump right in the middle of the bicep? This is because it doesn't spread out too well. Can you imagine what it would look like putting a few dozen mls in your chest and delts? It just doesn't work trust me.

Gee Baily thanks for clarifying what I do and don't know.
