Shawn Ray - Kevin Levrone is making a big mistake - was he right?

[Griffith]

I think it was a success.

Financially, in terms of probably getting paid to compete and also in promoting himself, his brand and product line.

Also, he was in great shape and especially conditioning.

Shawn is fat and useless to us now.

At his age, injuries just don't go away with therapy. He will most likely tore the pec again and worsen his quad tendinitis.

This is what I assume aswell.

Banging heavier weights(which he needs to be competetive) will not improve the tendinitis.

And the treatments he does now sounds like pure pseudo BS.

The only thing that might work for his injuries is stemcell treatment, Several. But as many as it would take he cannot afford Im pretty sure.

Conclusion

Due to its relatively low cellularity and vascularity as well as the change in the tissue microenvironment after injury, tendons form scar tissue and ectopic bone after injury without regenerating the original tendon structure. Tissue engineering with stem cells offers the potential to replace the injured/damaged tissues with healthy and functional ones. The use of stem cells for tendon tissue engineering is advantageous compared to terminally differentiated cells as stem cells are pluripotent or multipotent, highly proliferative and synthetic, and can provide the appropriate signals to promote tendon regeneration compared to terminally differentiated cells. Moreover, stem cells can also be used as a vehicle for gene therapy and sustained delivery of bioactive factors for tendon repair. The previous animal studies have shown that stem cells and their modified counterparts were generally safe and effective for tendon repair, with the exception of the presence of ectopic bone and tumor in some studies. Many challenges have to be overcome before stem cells can be used as a safe and effective therapeutic option to promote tendon repair. Well-controlled large animal models with extended follow-up period and randomized controlled clinical trials are needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of stem cell-based products. The optimal scaffold, stem cell type, method of cell delivery, and cell density for tendon repair need further research. Translating stem cell-based therapies from bench to bed requires overcoming significant cell-manufacturing and regulatory challenges. Better understanding of the healing mechanisms of stem cell-based therapies and factors of embryonic tendon development would provide cues to promote tendon regeneration.

Was looking into getting some t-shirts; they fit fine but for the pants I have to buy 1-2 sizes larger.

2-3 sizes larger will fit fine.

kwon do you think the levanal mass supplement helped kevin in his prep to get last place at the mr olympia ?

also some posters on here are delusional and beleive  that kevin was paid a large sum of money to compete at the olympia
