Levrone and Demayo, early 90s, old school true bodybulding... Yes, looked bigger and fuller that at the Olympia '92... Pony tail of peace...

92 O was in an Ice Hockey arena, even Coleman would've lacked vascularity there. Yates looked smaller than he did in 91 too.

Compare these guys to Dallas McCarver et al qualifying as pros now.

Just look at the early 90s and you see that Dorian in 91,Levrone in 92 and Flex in 93 all placed 2nd in their Olympia debut.Doesn`t happen anymore.

DeMayo had a very sad ending. He should have had better luck.

This was PRE-pec tear and also before he started to lose size on his legs. I always wondered how imposing he'd be if he had his MASSIVE upper torso (circa 1997-1998) with his huge legs (circa 1991).

He was definitely more cut at 92 Mr.O. So that would show why a bit smaller but his legs were fucking sliced, in those photos he's a lot fuller.

Never will again with class winners at Nationals and USAs and maybe North Americans and Worlds winning pro.

At the time of these pics, Kevin was benching 600 pounds legit. After his pec tear in 1993 he could only put up 500 pounds and there are videos to prove it.

Was at that show to watch Mike Morris compete as he was training out my Golds in addition to a small Worlds Gym a couple of towns over.  As soon as we arrived for evening show there was all this crazy buzz about the freak from Maryland that should win the show out of nowhere.  Gerald Dente also competed that night.  Kevin should have won that night but Paul was incredible too.  No complaints.

DeMayo had a very sad ending. He should have had better luck.

drug addicts make their own luck. dude was addicted to painkillers (perc's) for a lonnnnng time, he had every opportunity to come off. some learn, some don't... you'd think going to prison would've made him think.. "hmmm maybe I'M the reason all this bad shit is happening to me.. maybe it's the choices I make"

I was talking to him at the MrO just before he died.. he was kicking oxy and I was kicking nubain/temgesic.... I kicked mine, I guess he didn't, and went on to heroin.

Didn't nubain disappeared from your market and bodybuilders had to switch to heroin for pain relief?
Here in Portugal we have a drug that is 500mg paracetamol and 30mg codein (opiate), is it the same as nubain?
