The reason apparently was because he never really did off seasons. He’d simply “grow into the show” a couple months out of the year. That means no crazy gh cycles for years on end
@@_Jatin_sharma lol. this physique actually shits on mike ohearns best ever physique. although i think kevin probably took a bit more juice than what ohearn would be taking year round
I disagree, I love kevin and I know that all this prep is bad for his health. He accomplished his mission and if you are a real fan you should respect him
Yes You are right. I would love to see Kevin in progress and competing at Arnolds Classics, but .... as you wrote down...preparation is taking its cost.
I hate to say it but he should train like Phil with lighter weights, 15-20 reps. 405 lb incline bench is just stupid at his age. Stick to hammer strength.From watching his videos Phil would only do 225 lb squats and typically only messes with the Smith machine if he goes heavier. Stays above parallel to target the quads. Doesn't train hardcore like Ronnie or Kevin but it works and prevents him from getting injured. I would never train like that, but if I was a bodybuilder with low bodyfat..it's the only way to go. Look at Dorian, Ronnie, etc. Trained hardcore, got hurt. Look at Dexter, Phil, Wheeler, train smart, no major setbacks.
+A Kay in that case maybe lift like Kai green since he shits on Phil. Give Kevin another year and he will be freaky looking. He did this in 8 months , nobody could ever build that much muscle in that amount of time
By the sounds of it, Kevin doesn't seem like he is going to continue with it. I think I speak for everyone when I say this: we all want Kevin to keep going through with this.
hhhk20 you're the biggest fucking loser and will never amount to anything in life. Worry about your own accomplishments instead of ragging on someone else that has tried and been at the top. When you die nobody will know who you were in life and nobody will care, that's a fact...
I know right. The older you get the quicker time goes I still remember being inspired him during his prime when I first started lifting in the mid 90’s.
@@RavishingSailor ha! Me to, except it was flex for me... Never like Kevin's structure until I saw his 2001 (I think) and 1993 or 1994 streamlined look.
2016 Olympia was like the movie Rocky Balboa. Everyone knew who the Champ was going to be but the older legend won our hearts. Great work Mr Levrone, from a 51 year old who is inspired by your career. Stay strong!!!
Shit I hope he keeps competing honestly. I saw a video of him a year or so ago and he was eating a meal and he looked pissed off and depressed. He seems a lot happier when he's training and competing
i was wondering the same . the man is a living legend . even if he doesn't come next year he still is and forever will be a legend of bodybuilding and a role model.
Yea, He looks much better/bigger/fuller more vascular here than at the show. Easy to deplete too much wanting to come in super shredded. He and Josh had the thinnest skin in the show. Unreal for 52!
Much of Modern Day Bodybuilding = The age of Insulin, Site Injected, scar tissue, fascia stretching, bloofy, round, bulbous Bodybuilding. A lot of it is not real muscle like in the past and it shows.
Kevin look into what surgical options you have for your knees and next year come back STRONGER! You have really been an inspiration to a ton of guys out here and god bless man. I would be willing to bet this was the most watched Olympia in the competitions history, it was all you man, YOU got us old farts back paying attention to the game..
What for ??? He's 52 and proven he could place on stage .. thats enough. Competing again next year to place roughly the same ?? Because his physique (LEGS) wont allow him *ever* to place in top 3 let alone top 5 .. So why putting his body trough torture of training when you know his future is doomed already .. Doesn't make any sens ..
For himself! Kevin doesnt need to prove anything to nobody. If you have been listening to the interviews its obvious Kevin is doing this for himself too and not only for the fans, he has said many times that he has missed the BB-life. And if you saw his recent videos about the knee problems that kept him from training legs 100% you should not conclude that his legs was lacking because of age. If Kevin feels good stepping up on that stage then he should do it.
Johan Nilsson No they cannot. A seasoned BBer was commentating live the show and was saying that the legs are the 1st to go and they are no coming back .. the muscle tissues simple deteriorate a lot quicker in the lower body than the upper body .. So no ...
I know what Dennis James said I was watching the show too. Just because that is what normally happens its not the same for everyone, just lok at Dexter he is only a few years younger than Kev. Sure he never took a break, but all I am saying is that Kev could not train his legs properly because of an injury, so dont judge what you dont know. It looks like Kevin will keep on training so time will tell.
Man you are an example and will remain an example for many. I know for sure that next year you will perform better than this year's Mr.O. Keep going because I as many others want to see you regain the shape of the 90s or become even better. enough respect for you Mr. Levrone!
Mr. Levrone, it is great to see you in shape like this again. I wish you a speedy recovery from your tendonitis so that we may see you back on the Olympia stage with your legs as good as your upper body is.
hey Kevin, big fan over here! I don't know if you will read this, but I just wanted to say that I hope you continue training hard for one more year and let's see how your body will look like after a whole year of training, your chest, arms, mid section and arms look incredible. it was obvious you needed more time for the back and legs to grow more because they are much larger muscles so it requires more time. just train one more year. qualify for the olympia and I'm sure you'll have a better placing. the whole idea is to show just how great of a genetic freak you are and to show that none of these guys will ever look like you if they stop training for 13 years and try what you are doing at your age. you are the only one that can do it. I'm just 40 and it gives me hope that I can look better if I train hard like you.
BIG KEVIN !!!! YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY BODYBUILDING IDOL !!! KEEP GOING MAN YOU ACHIEVED THE IMPOSSIBLE IN A FEW MONTHS JUST IMAGINE GOING THE WHOLE YEAR AND THEN QUALIFYING FOR OLYMPIA FOR NEXT YEAR ! I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU CAN GET ALL THE SIZE BACK BECAUSE YOU AND ONLY YOU WITH THOSE KILLER GENETICS CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE
Kevin you have inspired this 52 y/o guy to keep going!!! I loved how you followed through to the very end of the Olympia and I love your commitment for 2016-2017... You ROCK!
Kevin - if your legs are healthy enough to train them hardcore, we would honestly LOVE to see you do some more shows, maybe even Mr. Olympia 2017. You're inspiration to us all, god bless you brother!
It was great to see you back onstage again this year Kevin, congrats in making a killer comeback. Here's to the rest of the year and beyond, regards from New Zealand
so proud of you bro. I hope you do it again. about 11months to the next Olympia....maybe with a little more time to train, you blow peoples minds EVEN MORE than you already have. congrats Kev.
thank u so much for the blood, sweat & tears u put in to do this. u a are a legend bro. u didn't need a sandow to prove that. best O since Dorian retired hands down.
Kevin what you've achieved and done (not just in the past) but now, at your age, has motivated so many thousands of people to never stop what you've started, to push passed the odds, and overall just really pushed me and others to be better and never give up. You've changed the game and your fans are so thankful for what you've done this year. You are an inspiration to many, and not just as a body builder but as a person. You've given your younger fans who love the 90's era the opportunity to see it first hand. Thank you, I'm happy to say I grew up during this time in bodybuilding
Thanks Kevin for the amazing amount of effort and sacrifice you put into your comeback. It motivated the shit outa me. You looked damn amazing up on stage champ, i hope your knee recovers soon and you can train your legs trouble free.
Looking good Kevin! Hope we'll continue to see you posting videos and updating everyone on your future plans with competing. Was great to see you on stage again....
I love the idea of an ongoing series of videos detailing your training methods, eating choices, and contest prep. Even more, please train hard over the next year and really scare Heath at the 2017 Mr. O!
Kevin please keep uploading bodybuilding tips and pre-post content tips. I'm sure a lot us here would like to know the ins and out of contest prep and filling out by a show!
Loved seeing you on stage Kevin. You are the only reason i watched this years Olympia when you hit that most muscular that was sweet. Nothing but love from me man you are #1. Remember back when you posted a video years back you couldn't hit 315 on the bench you have come a long way from strive for 405.

At that age his gona kill himself trying to push further. I would say:" Please stop kevin".
shut up bitch
Levrone needs to comeback next year i think alot of his fans be glad to see him again.
wtf you talking bout? he got wrecked on stage, way past his prime
8 months of training and gained 50lbs! The question is? Will his legs come back with an entire year of growth?
