I can't get on board with people saying he shouldn't bother because he won't place well. This is bodybuilding in 2018, let's not fool ourselves that the judging means anything grounded in reality. If he looks good, the fans will acknowledge it accordingly.
Exactly - and Kev does look good. IMO, he looks amazing. His back is not strong, and his legs are outright weak for the pro stage...BUT...he would probably win the Ontario provincials with the physique he currently
sports presents. At least in his weight class, if not in the overall.
I'm not sure that he would win the CBBF Nationals - Canada's top amateur contest - but I would say he could probably win the Ontario championships in his class. And Ontario IS the most populous province in Canada, with a population of 13.6 million [for comparison sake, if Ontario were a state in the USA, it would be ranked #5 for population, between New York and Pennsylvania, based on current American state population sizes].
So say what you will, Kevin looks VERY good...whether he is good by pro bodybuilding standards or not.
He is also relatively uninjured.
That said, any posts we make praising Kev will probably encourage him to keep using gear.
