My opinion: He came in much heavier (40 pounds heavier), but he's bloated with really bad conditioning. He was crazy striated in 2016 at 223 pounds. At 263 pounds he's carrying a ton of water. His legs are definitely bigger, but so is everything else and not in a good way. He needed a few more weeks to dial in his conditioning and shed at least 10-15 pounds of water to look really good. SEE, I'm NOT biased.

He was a fair bit worse here than at the Olympia. His back regressed, he has a gut and his conditioning in general is not good. Time has just passed him by as far as being an active competitive bodybuilder goes.

Check out Kevin at 255 pounds probably in his best condition at that size.
He's come in that big but not with this condition. He's been more
ripped but it was always at a lighter weight.
Enjoy some rare clips with Flex & Dillet & his posing routine.

Honestly, if you brought the version from today to the same level of conditioning as 16 there would be a glaring lack of improvement in general.

I refuse to believe that there aren't any genetically gifted guys today that could look like those guys. Drugs have ruined the ~~sport~~ pageant.

He looks incredible. Too bad that version of him couldn't stand onstage at the 2018 Arnold Class or Mr. Olympia. He'd be the winner hands down.

It is not only that. They just don't train as hard as before.
If they trained harder would probably destroy their bodies
becouse of the amounts of stuff they take.
Don't diet as hard.
Arnie and Platz for example would destroyed them head to head in training.

damn he did come in a lot bigger.

Kevin is in guest posing shape.

Compare the 1996 Arnold classic video to the 2018 version. It’s night and day.

Mitch · « **Reply #10 on:** March 17, 2018, 02:31:18 AM »

good physique for a guest posing.

Nether Animal · « **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2018, 02:38:41 AM »

pretty impressive to come in that big at his age.

obsidian · « **Reply #12 on:** March 17, 2018, 02:49:11 AM »

Not sure what Kevin was thinking. He needs to come in much lighter. Legs are bigger but he is holding too much water. His color was also better at the 16 Olympia but then again it could be the lighting because Wolf also has that red look.

This was his guest posing shape in 2016. I like his current look more.

Drug short cuts and which drugs certainly a factor in comparing 80s and 90s versus now. But you point out genetics and I think that’s as big a factor. Guys with pleasing physiques (born with) used to become top bodybuilders. Now generally weirder physiques with some exceptions. This is mainly evident at the level of the top national qualifier events. Why this change in the pipeline?

i will give him this much better in terms of size and fullness over last yr,less in terms of trying to be supernlean at this age or point he is at onstage.he has a look that for 53 looks great.but he has larger waist which is normal as one ages legs were bit better as well.props

I always question athletes of any sport that retire and try to make a comeback.....

Stay retired and not come back OR make a comeback just to please the fans but only present a shell of your former self.

I loved Kevin back in the day but breaks my heart seeing him like this....can't tell if he spilled over or just needed a few more weeks to dial it in...

He is not fuller, he's fat. Worse from every aspect compared to last time, less muscle, more fat. The year of drugs and training did absolutely nothing. Not a diss on Levrone the person, simply an observation of facts.

Very true. Most people no longer build a solid foundation over time. Instead they turn pro and try to put on 30lbs in their first year.

The roids did work, but not as good as when he was say 25 years young
