Kevin Levrone - Guest posing Oct 28th and competing in 2018

[Pet shop boys]

He's not as relevant if he were not competing. I bet his sales sky rocketed once he started to prepare for the Mr. O.

That is why he started to prepare for the Mr. O. His supplement line was probably not doing great; thus, he prepared for the Mr. O and he began selling the crap out of his supplement line.

Too bad he had to put his body through hell to sell supplements.

You really  think the average Joe keeps track of who competes in the Mr.O  to buy supps ?



WooSHHHHHHHHHHHH   TA NA KA

[Pet shop boys]

He removed his sweat pants.

LOL.


Can we move on now ?


WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

No, of course not, but its simple Advertising 101. The more publicity Kevin has, the more likely people will buy his products, even the average Joe. Further, some people might have been buying supplements by Dorian or Ronnie, etc. However, once Kevin started to compete, they may have wanted to support him and decided to switch companies.

[Fortress]

He looked great. What happened in the course of a few hours?

Looked great?! His chest is beyond eroded and wrecked and his waist/abs look horrific.

You're blinded by his arms, pal.

[Top Poodle]

Wrong.

He would not be competing unless he has to. Its just a simple fact.

And although you make a case for other people who love what they do (actors and boxers), the difference is that they are not killing themselves EVERYDAY by sticking large amount of drugs into their body.

If youre competing in bodybuilding at 50+, its 99.9% likely that you nee the money.

Its just the way it is.

funny because bodybuilding doesn't pay shit

[K A N N I B A L]

EXACTLY. Because he needs the money.

He wouldn't be doing this otherwise.

He's not making a cent off actually competing though...itd cost most competitors far more to compete than they'd ever win?

Supplement sales most likely shot up once he started competing again.

I've said this before: competing doesn't earn you a living (unless you win Arnold or Mr O); it's all the stuff that happens after.

Even if Kevin didn't make top 10 at the O, he made money in other areas of bodybuilding just from stepping on stage.

[Bevo]

really, can you explain why its clear Levrone has no money and Dexter for example does?

seconded bolded part is also silly, Formula 1 drivers still race and are multi millionaires, they do it because they like doing it.

Well, for one dexter is still on top of his game and is still one of the best current competing bber and bber of all time, he's an anomaly

[rocket]

Wrong.

We all know why Kevin is competing.

Stop deluding yourself into believing that he is competing because he loves the sport of bodybuilding.

I'm not sure why he competes.  I'm not Kevin, nor do I know him personally.  Neither do you.  At one point in this thread, what you said was fair (agree that it is unlikely he is particularly wealthy, prior to starting the supplement line - ironically the post that people jumped at you for) - and I thought your scepticism was fair too - in that you're welcome to your opinion - but now you're just posting the typical getbig "I know" bullshit.  You should go back to being objective.

What I know is that he goes to a powerlifting gym to hang out with powerlifters, to powerlift and post personal powerlifting milestones.   Being that type of person, too - I can only imagine how fucking pathetic some of the people on this board are (as far as strength goes) to see all the shit he posts about it and think "he's not enjoying it, he's doing it for the cash"  

The competing bit.. yeah, maybe more for the publicity - but the dude is an attention whore so unlikely to be all about the money.  I mean, who says "100 pounds dumbell curls in yer face" on a video all for money?  He's obviously an attention whore.  Is that any better than being into money?

Sometimes seeking attention is a way to get money.

He's mostly doing it for the cash.

Remember there was a time period where he was not lifting at all. Do people who love something just stop? No. Now, someone like RC just loves to lift--he lifts no matter what. Kevin was obviously perfectly fine taking off an extended period of time to not lift.

Merely by him competing (regardless of position), adds alot of attention to the brand.

It's a marketing decision, since The Signature Series-sales have skyrocketed.

X2.

Kwon,  you are a man who knows about advertising.

[Ronnie Rep]

He took his warm up pants off.

[Simple Simon]

that doesn't prove he isn't living beyond his means....

[Dave D]

funny because bodybuilding doesn't pay shit

True.

But what other income sources has Kevin had? Music?  Online streaming has eliminated record sales and it's hard to tour the country and  play guitar on stage with no legs.

His band would likely need a specially designed tour bus to accommodate his needs.

[SF1900]

that doesn't prove he isn't living beyond his means....

He's doing fine.

[Dave D]

If Kevin LOVES competing so much why isn't he actually doing a show?

Is it out of the question that Kevin got "back in shape" to push his supplement lune?

[Fortress]

Why the question mark? You made a statement.

[Bevo]

that doesn't prove he isn't living beyond his means....

May or may not be true

But I was just replying to you that I think dexter is doing better than Kevin financially cause he's still a top contender among his other ventures

Jay is prob the best out of the bunch

I'm going to help you understand the semantics here.

When a successful person says "I love competing", 99/100 they sure as fuck are not talking about turning up and getting a certificate of appreciate for coming in last place.

That should answer your question.

[Bevo]

Kevin just announced he's competing in the arnold classic

[SF1900]

He must need the money. Trying to boost supplement sales!

[Dave D]

HAHAHA

[bailey]

For the 20th time!!!!!!!!,How can Kevin compete in the Arnold or another pro show without qualifying?? Someone please answer? He can't have anymore special invites, and he has not won or placed at all in any show!!! Fuck!

[Disgusted]

He can get an invite. Do you really think Arnold will tell him no? He's one of the most winningest pros so he's paid his dues.
