I love how kevin changes up his hairstyle and pant stuffing to give out a different look each show. So artistic.

Not looking at his hair. Damn! Those "trademark poses" from 2001 to 2003 even with the legs below par.

It was back problems, he never said he had knee problems back then, it's just now he's placed so poorly he's using that as an excuse

He was squatting way back then and even in this olympia, there's vids of it

not squatting wouldnt have made a jot of difference to his leg mass at that stage in his career, if it was a back problem it would have been the resulting nerve damage that affected his legs.

'99 vs '03, basically (close to) his biggest to his worst showing. Upper body isn't that far behind but the legs are in another league.

I believe 97 was his biggest

Mr. Levrone said 2000 olympia was his best look ever

i respectfully disagree, but 2000 was better than 2001 -2003 olympia

most guys if they're lucky look decent with only 1 type of haircut, and they go with that style until they lose their hair or die whatever comes first

Mr. Levrone was lucky to look awesome with many different styles, even a pony tail

he looks great bald too, though unfortunately at this point i think that's his only option

I dunno, it's close between all three years 97, 98 and 99 but I think 98 was his biggest, at least still being in good condition. 99 he was off.

His heaviest competiton weight ever was the 96 Arnold Classic where he weighed 259 pounds. 1997 and 1998 were by far his heaviest Mr. O bodyweights and overall size.

He had lost weight and size by 1999. Nowhere near as heavy and large as he had been at the 96 Arnold and all of 1997 and 1998.

Kevin's been trying to bring back "grunge" music for the past 20 years. He went so far as to borrow Kurt Cobain's leg workout for the 2016 Mr. Olympia.

i respectfully disagree

Yeah I never understood that. I believe that placing 2nd inflated his perception of the physique, the same way people tend to overrate his '02 showing.

Kevin Levrone have a story for every year he stod on that Mr Olympia stage. There is a story and reason behind the look. And that goes on for every bodybuilder on the stage. Life isent a straight line. Ronnie Flex Dorian Haney...everybody had different looks different years...bad gear, drama in life, divorces, lack of motivation, inguries, etc etc...new guru, new diet method, healt problems, just to get up on that stage every year for a decade or even two is fucking amazing...what did you achieve in life? Getting up there no matter whats drawing you back. No matter what!

2002 grand prix. Upper body wise, the package he brought this year was on par with this. That's respectable.

By 1999/2000, Levrone was trying to be a rock star.

He played a rock song at the 2000 NOC

He played a rock song... thank fuck I wasn't there. I wonder what Jay, Lee and Paul are thinking whilst their posing down in thongs with Levrone singing one of his 'hits'
