Kevin has 23 pro wins for the haters in the back.
These younger generation never seen the 90s guys ..these big monstrositys today aren't bodybuilders.
Crainey Fit Kevin would blow these guys out of the water today
hot dog yes... they are
Levrone just stopped short when he was saying I would drink water, not all this other mixed stuff. He was eluding to BCAA and EAA crap
Yeah bcaa is just a wast of money
EAA?
@@nickbedolla7115 really? Why?
Progress for America EAA - Essential Amino Acids, it includes more than just the branched chain types so things like leucine, methionine, valine, lysine, tryptophan sometimes also
@@progressforamerica6883 Because your eating tons of protein. You don't need that garbage. Marketing Brother..
Kevin was the most shredded when he was lighter. When he got heavier, his conditioning was similar to the guys we see today from seeing those pictures.
sometimes even worse... but tbh most of those pics of unconditioned guys of today come from the NY Pro whose lighting SUCKS and makes everyone look soft
If your're referring to the shaved head pics it's because he's 20 years older. The other are photo shoots. Contest day he was always conditioned and on point.
Wrong ..Even when he was havier but his conditioning was on point bro..
He had to give up conditioning. Nasser paul and flex were up his ass
He blamed growth hormone which he started taking in 97. Won arnold classic in 96 then dropped to 8th or something in 97. said he got bigger but it wasnt quality muscle.
I remember the first time I saw Rich in a magazine. The veins were everywhere. Crazy vascularity!
Kev is spot SPOT on with what he said about dieting! The quality of the food being consumed as well as the quantity. Even though today's era bodybuilders might be eating "clean" they are eating too much... That is my opinion...
Back then every bodybuilder stepped on stage with a shredded face.
Now they have a balloon face.
Came by for fish diet tips and got a show. 🍿 ☺️
Kevin's upper body on that side chest shot at the 16 olympia was better than phill, Dex and shaun Good God that is insane man, I've seen it before but fuck at 51 man !!
where can I find full interview ? thank you.
Conditioning wise, I will praise for every single 90s guy except for Kevin and Flex. They never showed shredded gluts, hams and lower back in the case of Kevin, except 1992. Flex never got really shredded in his whole career, not even in 1993
For those wondering look at Kevin in 1992..His glutes...had glutes, and then those glutes, had glutes. There was shredded glutes everywhere!!!
Its weird that this era everyone is 5-7%bf but lacks definition and separation while Kevin's era everyone is 7-10%bf but has more definition and separation than today (except phil and dexter tho). Maybe its because we have so much bcaa, eaa or some shit that causes water to retain or maybe poor food choices?
Probably all the enhancing oil people inject nowadays not synthol these new ones pass through the kidneys over time
G H + Insuline
Damn, that's some facts there. Never thought of that. I think Cbum might be the only guy that comes in ripped, peeled and grainy.
I’m doing two hrs a day cardio for the last two weeks 4 times a week. Man, it’s another level of life that I never experienced before.
Bluecamaroz28 have you noticed a loss in body fat during that time?
George Ibrahim yes, I definitely noticed that. My biceps were fatty. Now it’s more defined and tuned.
Sam Johnson I’m not doing any of that shit 😂 but you can’t deny the effect of hard training and cardio.
@@Eastern_SA
What type of cardio are u doing? Steady state walking, bike, jumping rope? Or what do you prefer? Just curious.
You are in a deficit, Thats why u lose your fatty biceps, its not the cardio that do it
These days guys are also bodybuilding for longer years. It's a good sport but pretty harsh on your body given the abuse it has to take. All the 90s guys retired relatively early and probably are still healthier
Kevin on another level
Phil Heath is the only one who really comes with a full package every time
At the beginning yes.. but 2017 and 2018 his Midsection was really bad..
And a full stomach
@@colm2101 lol
Phil was good but was not as hard or conditioned as levrone when he was at his peak..these guys are not like the 90s guys..sorry
@@hotdog8214Kevin wins 3 poses against Phil.. Side Chest.. Abs and Thigh.. Front Lat Spread.. Thats it.. From the BACK Phil destroys KEVIN !!
No offense to the 90s but you could use diuretics. Banned in 98 99?. They used to have IV’s backstage between the pre judge and the night show.
Where’s the whole interview?
I want to know that too!!
I dont know about emty stomach deal
I ve tried and same results in 5 Weeks vs
not emty stomach 5 weeks. (8 egg whites 2 yogs)
2 of my favorites. AWESOME. Gaspari was rhe FIRST 2 bring it to another level. He was hard n ripped. From Rich it went to Levrone...More guys back then just had great genetics and great work ethic. No selfies lol. These 2 r great tho
WOW guys Kevin drank water during prep!!! no wonder the old guys were so lean. This is just a case of "back in the day" going on right here. kevin hasn't worked out in 5 years.
"kevin hasn't worked out in 5 years" They literally show him competing in 2016.
he was eluding to the fact that bodybuilders nowadays may cut corners or replace basic stuff with "supplements" and other bullshit like BCAAs and EAAs. Like, drink ordinary goddamn water, stop acting like a douchebag. If you weren't an 60 iq invertebrate and were able to read through the lines you wouldn't need me to tell you all this.
All that increased mass the current generation of bodybuilders have does come at a price, many more exotic drugs being taken and yes a huge amount of calories being consumed to support that size. Just watch some of the prep videos the elite bodybuilders publish now, they are still consuming huge amounts of food even just a few weeks out from a show. They are not suffering from deprivation diets but are suffering trying to eat six or eight meals a day so they hit the stage huge thinking the judges will reward size first and conditioning second and for the most part that is exactly what the judges are doing.
Agree
There's plenty of modern bodybuilders who are more ripped than the 90s competitors
Brandon Curry and William Bonac could have done very well (around the same placing they had in 2018 2017) if they competed even in the late 90s.
Phil heath (not 2017
Destroy any bodybuilder in the 90's sure kid lol
@@joenaps104 Not destroy but sure he would win (with the possible exception of Ronnie in 99)
Yep, only one who could beat Phil is Ronnie, and even that is debatable.
It is because now they dont use diuretics that much. Watch Wayne Demilia interview on Valuetainment channel. At that time they used diuretics a lot that gave them dryness. Now they are not that level dry and thats why of bigger size but with worse conditioning. It is not work ethics at all, please tell the truth
work ethic is not a good argument when it comes to discussing the difference between the two eras. the guys today are much bigger than the guys in the 90s and maybe that is why they not as ripped as the guys back in the day.
you dont need to suffer a diet, a diet should be sustainable over time
We're talking Mr. O level
Come on man 🤦
levrone talking about his amazing conditioning
i remember when he made his comeback to the Olympia and all he did was bragging that his bringing his "death face" yadayada and he was smooth as butter on the stage compared with the others in terms of conditioning LOL
regardless what he said the guy was 50years old and bin out the game 15years haha maybe he thought he could just bounce back like he did in his prime because hes got the best genetics in the game,only training for threw months of the year to get MR O ready coming 2nd 4 times to ronnie and dorian so he probs thought he could do it again but finally realised age beats everyone regardless who you are no1 can beat father time! he looks better at 50 than 99% of people half his age including you LOL
@@prettyboychilds well said!!!
@@prettyboychilds 🤣😅😅😅☠☠☠🤣🤣EXACTLY
his comeback doesnt even count
n his prime he was very well conditioned, a couple of times he did kinda play the size game in late 90s when he got 4th 4 times in a row, but apart form that he was well conditioned
We want hadi choopan conditioning 👌👌
I think that the 90's guys didn't get that heavy during the off season.. as far as how much fat they gained. They stood pretty lean during the off season. That probably had a lot to do with how much more conditioned they were.
Isaac Guillen everyone except lee priest
Yates and Coleman were above 300 pounds in the off season and they are the ones that ruled the 90s (especially Yates). There's a ton of guest posing footage of Yates out there, here's an example; ruclips.net/video/sUgs_dWgbTM/видео.html and I know you'll say he's conditioned and yes, he was because he hadn't gone full fluff mode. Here's the full fluff mode: ruclips.net/video/or3sw7GVf7w/видео.html 310-315 pound Yates looking bigger than Rhul to be completely honest. Even his weakest pose (most muscular) where he always looked small is FREAKY. Look at his capped delts and tiny tiny head in that most muscular
Blaming things on conditioning is nonsense, if we go only by facts, modern guys have lover fat level when they are on. However, they also look smooth as sith, and even have double chins. So no, conditioning has not gotten worse, the drug abuse has gotten out of controll, thats why they look like the way they do.
Exactly! More drugs and less hard work! It’s the snowflake way dude!
It seems that judges today rather a fuller body then shredded
Hey we all have our time to shine.when its over don't hate on the other guys that's haven there time.
Olampia without front lat,forearms can also beat Phil heath 😤😱
Yes Phil Heath that physique 👍
Social media ruined, life.
Going to the grocery store to get the bodybuilding magazine off the rack was what gave young guys true inspiration.
Today, 8,647,774 guys that have an Instagram account & have “trainer” in their bio, are fucking everything up.
in that case kevin only must’ve suffered a couple of times, i can recall a bunch of events he was off at. must’ve not been suffering enough?
Kevin's won 23 pro shows.
@@craineyfit8619 He was off on multiple occasions.
2pacshakurlegacy obviously u can’t nail it every time. He peaked 23 times that amount is enough to outweigh the off times
j rv oh please. his best wins were the arnold classic for damn sure the rest were mostly grand prix wins. kevin’s genetics were top tier even for a bodybuilder, he had every bit of a chance to get Dorian the fuck off that 1st position, but he didn’t. Dorian was always harder and grainy, DORIAN suffered and even then his last Olympia showings were off too but in terms of balance and flow because of his injuries. But nah i still stand with what i said, if kevin would have suffered as much as he wants the current guys to he would have been the 10th man to win the Olympia
Crainey Fit woooh someone can count! good job bud
In the modern day they're bigger because they use more drugs . Same with getting in shape. Nun if them train heavy except a few. There's a video of Phill Heath barbell benching . He maxed out with 225 for 10. Look for it on you tube. That's no an exaggeration. The muscles are full but not grainy or hard.
They are bigger because of oil. They are also less conditioned because of oil and their stack which exceeds that of the bodybuilders of the golden era. Nowadays they just look like big chunks of flesh. I miss the old era
With the thumbnail I don't see the difference.
if dorian is saying this i would agree but kevin?? he is never as conditioned as someone like phil broo. the onyl time he is super conditioned is at his olympia debut
Did u see kevin @ arnold classic in 1996, 1997? What the hell are u talking about
Jesus Christ...... it's 2020 and this shit still gets traction? Really??
I've been on every BB forum from 2000 to 2015, and the stars from the 90's were all claiming the definition of their time wasn't happening no more... yet we have had insane athletes like Kai (just to name one of many) who out conditioned most of the 90's body builders for at least 10 years in a row...
Phil Heath has great conditioning....so does Hadi.
Todays bodybuilders eat french toasts and Ben & Jerrys 😂😂
What’s wrong with French toast?
@@jenoay-tf2549 The answer should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about lifting weights.
it's because it's French. Duh. lol
Gh and insulin must be playing a part
Mainly the insulin.
That was all avaible in the 90's
GH would make conditioning better if anything.
Insulin
@@dlindo8892 No one uses insulin during peak week
@@misukiylambertson2764 on the day of the competition yes, I have done it myself, so you absorb better the refill meal before you hit the stage, but it's vert dangerous. Sorry my english is not good
It's terrifying how Kevin doesn't age. If someone asked he could easily claim 30.
Reputed as having the best genetics in bb
he do having a good genetic
Black dont crack baby
I don’t have an opinion regarding work ethic but I don’t see a difference in the conditioning. Only difference I see is todays body builders have bubble guts that protrude out past their chest.
He does know what he is talking about. He battled the shadow and king
all out diet and still was a beast,, steroids????
I think today’s condition sucks, but I’m also tired and find it cringe when guys say it like we’ve never heard it before. WE KNOW - EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER HAS POINTED THIS OUT.
The 90s vs today debate is dead.
his upper body in the side chest in 2016 looked better than phil, dexter, and shawn
if only he had legs
No
and Back..
@@user-sh9uk2hx3d yes
@@UTVH21 what does the back have to do with side chest?
True
Again 90’s would kill today’s guys. The only boys making the top ten would be dexter, Phil Heath, Kai at his best and maybe ramy if he came in shape
Are you smoking crack? Dude phil would be in the top 2 every time and would win some years and kai and dexter would do really good too. I could see kai winning in some years where dorian was off and dexter could also be in the top 2 some years(94,96). Guys like curry,hadi,ramy and bonac could make the top 10 easy and a peak ramy would be in the top 6.
Balázs Kovács no way!! Hahahahaha maybe phone would crack top 6 maybe
This subject is getting old.
Its different eras, true, but like before you have now and had then, guys with top conditioning and others no.
Change the page already.
Yea but nobody today has the conditioning they did. That's the point. There is a balance of size and conditioning to be struck and these guys are too obsessed with size
Bonac would do fine in all eras
Levrone the real mr Olympia 2000 and 2002......not Ronnie the shit GUT Coleman sucks.
Yeah but have you guys from the 90s or dead or in wheelchairs or in bad condition
Its the effin drugs dude.. the evolution of prep protocols... imo anyway.
Back then guys knew what they were getting. Now days with all these underground labs who really knows what you’re taking.
Quite a few snow flakes on here insisting today's bbers are just as ripped. Oh dear.
Meat heads . Not looking so good now Andreas Munzer
I am fed up to listen the old bodybuilders so bitter and jelous of the new generation.Sorry but you guys need to accept the bodybuilding evolution,today are much bigger,with the same hardness look at Phil Heat is much better then you two.
great basing your opinion off a 3 minute clip of a much longer talk, they’re speaking fac
phil is the only one, the rest suck
Schwanzus Longus Exactly, as a whole on average some of them are maybe 10/15 lbs more and that’s from not coming conditioned because they want to be full
Correct its really hard seeing these two guys beating evens when Phil was off
actually they're not even bigger what kind of bullshit is this?
From the Front he was a Mr.O !! But when he turns.. Not TOP 5 Material..
you talking about 2016 or the 90's?
@Schwanzus Longus nobody was impressive standing next to coleman from the back
@@MikeG82 apart from dorian who takes that lat spread, as kevin just said yesterday in th rx interview
kevin competed with both coleman and yates btw,unlike the fridge cutler
@Schwanzus Longus kevin had very good front and rear lat spreads tho
some of you guus act like the back double bi is the only pose that matters,its just one of 7 or 8 mandtaories
which are just like 25 % of he ifbb scoring sysem in the 90s
This 90s jargon is becoming boring.
Snoooooze
Ronnie was eating anything he liked and still looked 10 times better than Kevin. Kevin is my favorite bodybuilder, but it’s stupid than he think bodybuilders these days are lazy or aren’t pushing as hard.
Not bigger no way 1990s mass monster are bigger
yes they are... Dexter Jackson is 230 at 5´6" and is considered a "smaller guy", Ken Flex Wheeler at his best in 1993 was 215 at 5´10.5". Dorian in 1993 was 257 at 5´10.5" just a few pounds heavier than Phil at his biggest who is 5´9" (and wins because of his conditioning, not his size). And Kevin was rarely above 240 at 5´9.5" and Kai has been 280 at 5´8" (and more shredded too)
Kevin beats curry hands down
So tired of hearing about this. Guys tired are just as hard and dry and lean as they have always been
is this all you guys ever talk about. the 90's era, the 80's era. move on
You must be an unconscious millenial! Learn from the best, respect them, learn from their mistakes, then implement effective ways to reach your goal.
I see so many young guys taking tons products to achieve a great physique, it's a shame, and some younger will the same thing about your generation as well.
Kevin is overrated
Kevin was not more shredded than Phil heath or nick walker he is wrong here. Also phil trains alot of machines so did dexter and Jay always used smith machine for back and front squats
