Well, Kevin Levrone is dead last at the Olympia
« on: September 16, 2016, 09:23:11 PM »
The hype is over.  There were zero legs.  Super depleted.  Didn't belong on the stage.  Looked like an old man.

Sounds cruel, but it is what it is....it's a bodybuilding show.

Well, he IS an old man, he is closing in on 60!

Good show for a legend of such an advanced age!

I mean Dennis James didn't even know what to say.....just spoke about how proud he is of Kevin.

It was courageous effort, but father time catches all of us....even the genetic freaks.

Well I give him credit for getting out there.  I never believed he would even get on stage....so that's a major accomplishment

Cmon man, he knew it, we knew it and Dennis James knew it. For his age he looked good and knew his limitations with the drugs considering his age. I say props to him.

Yes, to do what he did in a few months is amazing, but it just wasn't there. 

I now understand what guys like Flex and Shawn Ray were saying when they discouraged Kevin from doing this.

Just not sure what to say.

Kevin had one of the greatest physiques ever.  Amazing genetics.

But
Kevin was the definition of all drugs.  Shrink every year, live on the protein and greens and super supplements for 4 months, then shrink.  

He never had that foundation of muscle you see in a Ronnie or Kai, or even a Phil Heath now.  Guys can't shrink then just blow up anymore.  

Levrone was awesome, but there is no better example of being dependent upon the added things. Without them he held no muscle.

Didn't you say he would back out at the last minute?

I hope he finds something else to do with his life....I think he did this because he was trying to fill some emptiness, some void, by seeing the competition isn't what it once was maybe he could fulfill his dream.  Now he never has to wonder but what next?

this is just an example of success often being a matter of the right timing

if the 90's version of Mr. Levrone was here today these chumps would get LevrOWNED and he would finally claim his rightful place as Mr. Olympia

getting old sucks :'(

No doubt....I agree.   A prime Levrone would be unbeatable in this line up.

Man just wasn't meant to be, but very glad he did what he did.

Sucks that Lou Ferrigno's comeback was much more impressive.

Wonder what Shawn Ray will say? He told Kevin not to do it...

I said he would never get on stage and am man enough to admit I was wrong.  I should have been right.  How could he step onstage with those legs and calves?  Unbelievable delusion.

Agree. Before I did that show in 07' I hadn't competed in 19 years. I remember Frank Zane saying that when getting ready for the Olympia he would peak twice a year then nail it the second time the day of the show. I should have done it and Levrone should have done it. Instead of taking a 5 months to get ready going to nothing to the day of the show he should have taken AT LEAST a full year to prepare. Yes, getting old sucks and takes twice as long and the young bucks.
