I have enjoyed following his comeback over the past couple years but I’m starting to wonder what his long term plan is from here on out. I mean, is he planning to keep going all out into his 60s or what?
You bring up a good question, Mclovin. I think that Kev should just settle into a quiet life, watching movies like Superbad, and just enjoying his life with family and friends. Kev has a son - maybe he could help his son achieve his goals, rather than try to relive his glory years.
It must be pretty bad on a person's morale to be part of a hobby/passion [not sport] that results in you going back to seed within three years after retirement.
I'm sure in the off-season, there are UFC fighters who couldn't even win state championships in MMA - but you would never know that by looking at them. That's the difference. With bodybuilding, you can see a person's progress on their physique. They basically "wear" their talent. When you see Wayne Gretzky, you just see a healthy 57-year-old man. You would never know that a top high school hockey player would be able to outperform him. With bodybuilding, you can tell how far a bodybuilder has declined once they retire from competition. That can't bode well on a former bodybuilder's morale.
