Recent pic of Kevin Levrone?

[Danimal77]

Just checked out Levrone's instagram and it seems that Kevin uploaded a new pic of himself. If this is a new pic, he looks like he weighs 175 pounds with big arms.

Yet here are a couple of new videos he posted too, so maybe that pic isn't new.

Great shape for his age.  Other than that... 90% hype.

Without drugs he wouldn't be able to bench 405 for 1 rep.

If he keeps it up, he's going to get hurt.

Without drugs, he couldn't bench 315 for 1 rep

Without drugs, he wouldn't be able to bench nor would Mel Tormé star in "Top Secret".

[Nether Animal]

Hope that's not recent...

Legions of men on more drugs than him bench less than him.

If it is recent he's definitely not competing in May like he said he would, unless he plans to compete in the fitness competition.

[MAXX]

NO chance to be competetive

Rackpulls with 405..


Meanwhile young up and comers Mcgarver is Deadlifting 8+plates...

[MAXX]

and why does he incist on using 3 spotters for 315 

just squat in the squat rack with safetybars....

He looks good, he is still extremely lean.  From where he is coming from in January right now, as far as upper body, you would have to assume he can be old Kevin in the upper body, but it looks as though his legs are really his focus, currently.

He said 9 months quite a bit lately and I think he meant starting at the start of this year so you have to assume that that means olympia.

Yeah.. and the current Mr Olympia.. what, six times, continues to cash cheques as a result of his extensive tours around the gym machines, doing uninspiring weights.

Go figure

There is still the issue of him having to qualify....I doubt they will gift him a special invite after last years showing.

These are his schmoetters, not his spotters.

Slim chance he qualifies. I can't see him beating anyone in the top 12.

[Rudee]

He should be invited to pose at this years Olympia.  No way he's going to legitimately qualify to get on state.

[TRIX]

He hasn't improved or gained any size since the Olympia

4 months looks no different

And dallas has a shitty back this is bodybuilding not powerlifting, deadlifting is great for size but  size is not dallas problem his back lacks detail, at this point he would be better off using machines to focus on detail in his back.

[Danimal77]

If anything, he looks much smaller than he did in September. He should have pulled a Dorian Yates and gone into hiding until the day of the show. That's why they used to call Dorian "The Shadow".

[Nether Animal]

I think he is trying to ride the extra attention for as long as he can to pocket more supp sales. He has no real intention to be competitive anymore. You could see it in his eyes leading up to the olympia. Plus kev isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. He isnt good at hiding his intentions.

Of course they will.

You're forgetting the IFBB isn't a strict athletic federation, it's basically a somewhat corrupt business.

Levrone brings interest.  Levrone gets an invitation.

Yeah, I don't blame you for not understanding this - because he says so many contradictory things (like the latest IG post where he claims the workout is the first time he has trained shoulders since olympia) - but I don't think Kevin started his new "transformation" until the start of this year.  There was no way with the amount of touring that he was going to get larger during that time.  He basically was on the road the whole time after the olympia.

It's actually interesting to me that he kept so much muscle.

Maybe he's showing all leg training because of his pec tear before the Olympia. First he makes sure he has the "all clear" from dr's before the Olympia training, then says he has nagging knee issues that kept him from squatting, and then a pec tear that kept him from benching.

I can't keep up with all the bs and don't get the hype. He said if he was not healthy he would not keep bodybuilding.

Yeah, well, with no respect, what you think is utter fucking horseshit.  I think you are the person who is not the sharpest tool in the shed if you believe that piece of morose speculation.

So many people on this site read so much into so little.  Reading in his eyes before the olympia that he doesn't want to be competitive

Every day, pre olympia he can see his legs are small and he has a (mild?) torn pec, so how you read that he doesn't want to be competitive from "this is not going to be a very good showing for me", I don't know.  You might be the world's most foremost eye reader.  

Moving on from the olympia, the dude resolves to stay on the gas and give it another show, continues to work out and push himself to get better, barely pimping his supplements in the process and that isn't enough for some people.  They still call him out as not meaning it.  They still think it's all for money.

While I really would have liked to see him bring up his legs and add more thickness to his upper body for 2017, I think the writing is on the wall. He looks to be max 200 pounds and that's being generous. Last year at this time he was huge (he got smaller after his injury). I sadly don't think he'll ever step onstage again unless it's for a guest pose.

[Danimal77]

Of course they will.

I fully agree with this. If he wants compete, he will most certainly be invited. His name alone with generate an inordinate amount of interest and in turn, revenue into the pockets of the promotion. That said, I don't think he'll be back onstage again. The fire is out imo. Last year at this time he had size and was hungry and gave a ton of updates and new pics and vids with his progress. He looks like a man who weighs 180 pounds today soaking wet with big arms. If he wants to compete in September, he needs to start putting the pedal to the metal to have even a remote chance of cracking the top 10 (of which he won't).
