I've always said this. It's probably not healthy but The Coach here started at 15 via Rx from doc and he's still in great shape.I'm not even joking, if I could go back and decide how I used anabolics in my life I would probably have done some cycles as early as 8 yrs old but I would have moderated my use more later on.

Explains why the coach is prob 5’5 , he should have taken up gymnastics

I went by this. Moreplatesmoredates did some research

https://moreplatesmoredates.com/kevin-levrones-steroid-cycles/
looking like this on 400mg test cyp for 6 weeks? kind of hard to believe but,,, genetics I guess, is kind of important for bb lol


2 years later 2'nd place Olympia


Kevin would have been 26 , not 24. His “real bd” is 1964 , he revealed it years ago when he turned 52 making his “comeback” in 2016

That being said I don’t take anything that comes out of his mouth, the man is blessed with top genetics but also lies about everything, like most bbers

Take flex wheeler, at his peak he was better than Kevin, better muscle bellies , better symmetry, shape, pretty much everything. And he was on a shit ton of gear. Kevin did a lot, he just makes up a bunch of shit to seem like he didn’t and he was this super human.

My encounters with a lot of these bbers over the years one of the only ones that’s “truthful” and I wouldn’t go all full end either, is Shawn Ray when it comes to gear usage

Are you saying he commented on specific gear details to you? I've never once seen him say anything specific about his steroid use publicly :D

Only once did Milos have a spat with Ray and said Ray used too much test suspension  :D

Agree about everything other than Flex wheeler having better genetics. Flex was great but only for a very short period. Peaked 1993. Then not getting better. By 1997 or so he started SEO and then it really went downhill. Prime Kevin had everything better than Flex, other than maybe back, and that narly x-mas tree Flex had between maybe 93 and 97.

I wouldn’t say in full detail, but he did talk gear usage and bit, no insulin whatsoever , I want to say in the 3 gram range. He was def “old school” mentality from the John brown era. This was back in the early 2000’s just when he retired

What milos said there’s some truth into that

Flex’s symmetry, shape, smaller waist, muscle bellies, was one of the best of all time. I agree he had a short run and was top for a short time but Levrone was blocky, and had no legs, and back further on his career

Thanks, interesting that he went to any detail at all. The guys who refuse to discuss at all with people in the same business are so irritating lol. I once sat at a table with an Olympian pro and an amateur bb, now pro, and the amateur talked about his test dosages and then asked the pro, what about you, how high have you went? None of your business the pro said lol.

he turned pro in 92 and was a top tier pro for 8 years, hardly a short time

My bad, meant he was at his peak for a short time, only a handful of showings he was at his “best” compared to someone like Ronnie, Dexter, jay, Cormier, Ray, etc that’s what I think of when flex is mentioned. 93 IMO was his all time best

Let's say he continued to compete with that 93 Arnold body, how would you see it play out?

With how Dorian came in, and then Ronnie….. it was the mass era, flex wouldn’t have won the O, which he didn’t. Flex’s structure, joints, wouldn’t allow him to play the mass game like guys like Jay , Cormier who had bigger frames

When flex did up the weight, his physique just looked odd , and add in all the lumps on his arms, shoulders, calves, he screwed up his physique

apart from a couple of blips he placed mostly 1st or 2nd in every show he entered throughout his career

I think it is almost more interesting to see what the 90s pros look like now in their 50s than what they looked like in their 20s. The knowledge they picked up from 40-55 is almost more valuable. I want to know who kept the lifestyle up and kept it together and how they did it. We see some crashed horrifically bodies destroyed and others seem to age like fine wine. Why what is the difference between the two. Why is bodybuilding a fountain of youth for some and an early crippling for others.

It’s a fantasy never to be able to be maintained or why would they at the point of their careers in their prime? It was their “on “““ job to make a living at something that required. copious amounts of drugs extreme dieting and other various things to sell a fantasy to young guys buying magazines at the time of something that was considered healthy. That lifting weights and eating well is great and having a good physique is nice but you know damn well hanky it’s impossible or healthy to try to jack yourself up until you’re 90 years old on drugs etc. etc. The only guys that maybe you could say wow is Lee Labrada he’s the only one you really see out there and yes he is in fantastic Shape crazy , Gasparri but he’s torn up, Haney looks good but he’s not trying to be Lee Haney anymore.
