He had that pec tear repaired quickly, that is why he was able to resume training.  There is some asymmetry, but not nearly has much as other bodybuilders who did not seek prompt surgical repair.

He tore the right side too (same area) in the late 90's.  Amazing how much he can still bench press.

i made a prediction about a professional athlete in a sporting event.  Had he taken some sick photos, 3 weeks out, then ninja'd out of it, his legacy would be intact and he could have milked this for another year - and in a year, he may have gotten the legs and chest up, and truly broke the top 10 and maybe won a smaller show.  Many agree he *should* have waited.

As it stands, aside from the praise we give him today, the history books have another example of a top pro coming back a decade later and placing dead last.  He looked great, but IMO he should have milked it until he ready to compete.

(coming out with injury report after a bad showing was the penyton manning move - every time he lost, or did badly, we'd hear about some phantom knee injury the next day explaining it away.

Great that the bloke not only still competed but never bitched about it or used it as an excuse prior to the Olympia and only mentioned it once it's done.

For fucks sake the blokes trying to do his best getting into shape at 50 or so with a torn pec and that fucking shitstain Heath is crying to whoever would listen that leverone was "stealing his thunder".
Shows the difference between the character of these two guys.

What could have been. IF he ever would compete again he needs to train smarter and lighter.  Props for finishing.

No wonder he was so atrophied. Props for continuing. He even went on to win the 1994 Arnold classic after a severe pec tear only a few months earlier. Heart of a lion for sure.

He had the "I tore my pec" card  under the sleeve so when Battle time comes  he had an excuse for a poor showing ...

Shawn ray was spot on 100 % at that age nothing to gain , but injury ,embarrassment and stress to your organs.

I was a fan of Levrone's mentality until 2003.

WoooSHHHHHHHHH

Wow, maybe that explains why his chest was looking so weird overall. He had to take it easy or stop training it altogether

I agree, quitting was never an option in his mind. Awesome.

Not after a 16 year break from consistent training and closing in on 60 years of age he didn't.
