Sonetimes I be so happy that youtube is the closest to the time machine we have got! This video is 10 years before I was born and seeing my idol training in his prime is the best thing that I can watch
This is the 2002 BFTO of Kevin Levrone, he is the strongest but still having great form bodybuilder I have ever seen, used to get 405lb behind the neck shoulder presses on the smith machine as well
I really love the part where his spotter wouldn’t move his hands. 8 min or so into the video. That’s a good training buddy, he knows where Kevin’s ego/headspace is at rn being this close to Olympia, and doesn’t want to let him hurt himself by accident by pushing too far. Kevin is super graceful about it too I just love Kevin’s mentality
he said he benched 500 lbs at 2002 also . This video is for mr olympia 2002 . you can not find another video like this (12 rep of 405 lbs) but his bodyweight was a little lighter than 1998 or 1997 and some years
Uno de mis idolos en el fisicoculturismos de los años 90s, la epoca de oro del deporte de los fierros, excelente, buena suerte en su regreso para el gran Kevin Levrone,
That gym in Fullerton was just a marvel of bodybuilding.. there was two meccas of bodybuilding in California, Gold's in Venice and Powerhouse/gold's/world's/colosseum gym in Fullerton.
He used to train only 5 months per year while competing and lift this insane amount of weights with these number of reps!! Levrone is the most genetically gifted bodybuilder in history!
The repping with 405 was amazing, and we listen to all the same music. I love break the cycle by staind Im a fan wish I watched this man years ago very modivating.
For the young folks out there, those little round things he had at the beginning of the video, well, they are called CDs (short for compact disc); they contain music. And that machine he was putting them in? Well, that's called a stereo with a compact disc player.
How old are you all? What do you think that sponsorise Mr olympia or all the other contests? Rice, potatos and chicken manufactures? All these suplements sponsorise the sport and keep it alive to these levels. Do you think that the judges they will bite the hand who feed them?
Imo best front balance of any bb. His arms with Delts and chest its just mesmerizing. And his midsection is in check on a dailyyyyy. Saluted by all means
You always hear experts’ claims to rest in between sets for only as long as it takes your training partner to complete his set, but the big dudes take forever in between their sets.

Yes! 💪🏼
The oversized shirts and sweats! Now everyone wants to wear spandex 😂
405 for 12 reps (repeatedly) 1 week out, is completely insane! Kevin was strong AF!
so strong. alot if these guy fell into ronnies shadow chasing him cause he was such a freak but they were freaks also
Is *
And full rom, he truly is the best.
Perfect technique as well, no half reps, no bounce of the bottom
I laughed so hard after I saw the 6th rep. Nobody is moving that weight that easy nowadays. Especially sub 15% body fat😂
Smoothest benching with 405 I've ever seen. Very impressive.
Why is it always 405 not 400? Just curious 😆

One of, would say that Mike Mentzer was the greatest.
Notice how he's still able to lockout his elbows during max sets, that's very impressive tricep strength.
Yes true, he had so big triceps

@@Kuplpa yea true. But for me his triceps stood out the most.
@@Grimmjow19872He's most known for his shoulders and back bro whaaat
@@simbadooo9055 True you’re right man
Not only was he huge he always looked so athletic. Just the ultimate physique.
He definitely was athletic, didn't just look the part, he was a fast sprinter
His music choice is phenomenal.
Hell yea man, disturbed and stained. Good music choice. I always listen to them when working out
Who cares if it's an old vid or new? It's all about Kev man! The legend. Respect him.
Kevin makes benching heavy just a walk in the park... crazy strong
Everytime i see this guy, hes always in a positive attitude, good job Kev.
Don't know if the comment already excist but... Uncrowned Mr. O!
His time was highly competitive.
This guy is seriously strong
If those plates are really 45 pound, than he is insanely strong. Never seen 405 benched this smoothly.
@@hungarianbeast "If" lmao. Like there is any doubt.
@Island Mike Pound plates have a history of not being exactly 45 lb. Some are lighter. That's why KG plates are so heavily pushed in Powerlifting.
@@ownthispwn I mean even if it's not exactly 405, it's still a crazy demonstration of strenght and ergonomics.
Followed Levrone since he was an amateur. But you have to check out UPwrlifter. Guy is 160 pounds and benches 360-400 pounds.
I don't know of any other bodybuilder who trains with full range of motion! Awesome
Lee Priest had a flawless form
Dorian Yates
Cali muscle! 😂😂😂😂😂
Most dont because they concentrate on TUT and full ROM creates moments of reduced tension
@@adambrunt7290So why did kevin do that?
Wish he controlled the music at my gym. He's got good taste!
@Deathheads69 yes you can. Disturbed is the most basic ass gym music, it makes me want to kill someone and not in the good way.
Yes facts
Kevin is strong as hell!
405! Last rep! Inclined! And having a conversation with your spotter to let go of the bar! FML!
Insane 😳
Sonetimes I be so happy that youtube is the closest to the time machine we have got! This video is 10 years before I was born and seeing my idol training in his prime is the best thing that I can watch

@@israelduarte1189 Kevin lol
Best shoulders ever.
love that environment, so encouraging, he got congratulated and today all u hear is "no ROM, doesn't lift, blah blah" so motivation whatsoever
can't remember how many training videos from the pros I've watched, this is the first one I see people clap after a lift tho.. 6:28 cool
405 on the incline. I will clap too!
Joel Khoo for 12 reps this Guy is a beast
They are impressed with his crazy lifts 💪
He said he’s a week out from his shoe and isn’t risking anything by lifting heavy wtf. 405 for 12 what.
Yea if he hits it for 12, it's not heavy to him
His shoe has nothing to do with bodybuilding.
Kevin Levrone a real best, and awesome soundtrack in the gym, really Awesome vid.
405 for 12 😳
Crazy strong, and with perfect form
Perfect reps. Amazing with 405 on the bar.
Imagine a training partner duo where the "weak" guy puts up 315 for 10. 😂😂
flawless form too.
Perfect form*
If Kevin was in his prime in 2023 he would have millions of subs both huge and entertaining
holy fuck. most competitive powerlifters today still cant rep out 405 like em
Lol yeah. Plus he did that after hittin 4 plates on flat😮
he is strong for sure but watch Ronnie's The Unbelievable sometime.........
There are different weight classes first of all. And he just has good genetics that’s it, nothing to praise

One of my fav bodybuilders of all times by far. He should have won a couple olympias.
Music, clothing, vibe on point. The days before technology fucking killed it
One of my main inspirations, his focus is insane
this man embody god like genetics.

He's a power machine too! Impressive .. Too bad he came in the era of big ronnie .. otherwise he would win every show hands down!
To be fair he was beating Ronnie til he taught him how to drop the last bit of water the night before shows then Ronnie started winning lol.
what a beast!! one of my all time favourites and at his peak arguably the best arms in the business
Love kevins physique man. Dudes tossing 315-405 like cake
Yeah "Staind-Outside" sounding in the background at the end!
Can anyone help me with his playlist through the video trying to listen to all these songs.
Anyone else hear the Disturbed in the background? Great band and great album
This is the greatest chest and shoulder training i ve ever seen
to this day i don't think ever seen anyone make 405 on bench look that easy, especially from a body builder holy shit

If this is a new video and this is him now. The top guys better be training hard cause he looks unreal if that's the case. He will be a real threat.
Damn his technique is perfect! Full range of motion.one of the best physics ever.
I enjoy every second of this video.
Good clean reps awesome power.

That 405 on incline was seriously smooth... Levrone is one of my favorite bodybuilders
Only if he had come in like this he could've smashed the Mr O 2016 lineup
“Is that the whole stack? Light as shit”
Repping 405 for 12 on bench is like repping 810 on deadlift for 6. Hella impressive. Especially with that clean technique.

Love old school bodybuilding. Bodybuilders these days would never do 405 for 12 reps a week before a show.
True man. Today’s gyms are full with pussies and poser and not in a good way. People now care about what to wear to the gym instead of trying hard.
