Kevin was blessed with elite genetics for bodybuilding. 2 weeks out blasting 405lb bench press where most would be doing cables and machines at this stage.
I was just a youngster but i was just telling my boy that im pretty sure the olympia and or arnold was shown on espn 2! My boy said im just being bias towards the era and that i just love everything old school 😂😂😂 glad u confirmed this! I wanna say i saw a show that was on nbc or fox! The demand for bodybuilding was on basic cable!!! Insane
Thank you Mits for releasing all of these. I have all the VHS tapes but could never watch lol. Also glad you were able to get the real bodybuilders in the best era on these vids.
This videos crazy. Kevin looking insane. I suppose the main disparity between Heath winning all those Olympias was in the wheel development and conditioning where Kevin would be hit or miss, but this is one of the greatest upper bodies In history.
Have to disagree on that one. Phil had a much more complete physique than Kevin, especially in his first 2-4 Olympia titles. The two major differences are legs and back. Phil was much more complete in those two departments IMHO. Look up comparison pics and i think you'll agree. From the front it's a close race..i always say phil is like kevin levine 2.0, and i mean that as a sincere compliment. Im 43, so i literally grew up watching this guy. I always thought he was the closest threat to dethroning Yates back in the 90's. Flex wheeler Shawn Ray and Nassar also gave Yates a scare especially the years he was injured in 95,97. What's so impressive to me is the fact that Levrone is MANHANDLING 315-405 on the flat and incline like its 135, 2 weeks before the show. Clean, controlled, and full depth on the reps to boot. I watch his 96-98 training videos before the gym all the time..still impressive to this day.
Well that legend is absolutely wrong. Not knocking Kevin, he looked amazing, but Phil had the best body by far and only a novice would think otherwise. Kevin never had legs or back even remotely close to Phils
Agree with this. Anyone knows happened to him? Never heard of him in what two decades? A lot of his contemporaries are still pretty much involved in bodybuilding nowadays as coaches, business, some have podcasts and what have you but no news about him. Hope he is doing well.
Best raw genetics in bodybuilding history: 1. Flex Wheeler 2. Kevin Levrone 3. Serge Nubret 4. Paul Dillet 5. Jay Cutler 6.John Brown 7. Larry Wheels 8. Phil Heath 9. Lee Preist 10.Mike Christian
Kevin was and always will be one of my fav bodybuilders…but in the scene where he’s eating at the restaurant he comes across A bit arrogant? Might just be something that’s pissed him off? FULL BLOWN BABY!
he def need some glasses like he squint his eyes like that when he flexes and those cuts in this videos maybe good for the time but haha damn with these pauses
I think he took it as serious as Dorian, thats unfair, hes a world top 5.iffbb pro, cant get more serious, and even if he trained all year Dorian may well have won still, but its subjective Kevin won basically everything he entered except mr O and he came second in that and on another day could have been 1st, in that time when dorian came in with lats like fucking wings no one stood a chance , i love dorian, hes my favorkte BB of all time, but his arms were fucked after the bicep tear, so did he deserve the wins with arms all over the place? Did he deserve 6 mr O. I think.4. But what do i know. Nassir and flex shoud have won. Not shawn ray the whinging bell end.
@@bumbleofthefluff4418 your're right. I think his ego succumed to the flashy lifestyle. I think hom and Flex Wheeler fell for it hard. However, they're still livin' legands in my book.
@@bumbleofthefluff4418 I agree with everything you said but you also have to admit that Levrone was a mish mash bodybuilder, in other words; inconsistent. One show he would show up looking diced and great, the very next one few weeks afterwards he would be significantly off. We all know the stories of him not training for months and months on end, just playing with his band and all that. Did Yates ever do that? no, he trained every day for the entire year and had regulated nutrition plan all year round. Levrone was lazy when it came to shredding down, he admitted to it himself. After 1992 Olympia he said to himself that it's not worth it. After not beating Yates at his best he also said that he stopped going hard on leg days, that it wouldn't make a difference anyway, he'd place 2nd with or without great legs. That's why his later versions are so criticized for undersized legs.
@@bumbleofthefluff4418 Of course Yates deserved it, biceps are 1, tiny body part that play a major role in only 2 out of 7 mandatory poses. In the back double the biceps are being swallowed by the back and the legs in importance and exposure. Doesn't matter how fucked up Yates' left bicep was, the rest of his physique was well ahead of others to win him at least 4 out of 7 mandatory poses. You're gonna tell me anyone wins a front or back lat spread against Yates? Where's the bicep in those poses? Not even flexed, you can't see the injury, Side tricep? same story. Again for the back double, his back was so far ahead of everyone that it didn't matter if he didn't have peaky biceps. In 1995 Yates beat Levrone in the side chest, one of Levrone's strongest poses so go figure.
Damn those traps,delts,triceps tie in ! Speechless !
old is gold
Some of the best genetics in bodybuilding!
Kevin was blessed with elite genetics for bodybuilding. 2 weeks out blasting 405lb bench press where most would be doing cables and machines at this stage.
That’s why his conditioning is always subpar . If you are strong at 2 weeks out, you ain’t dieting hard
@@M.J.D.R Ronnie blasted out 500 weeks out, and dieted hard enough for ripped hams and glutes ugh🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😝
@@earlcoles5215 like 10 weeks out
@@M.J.D.R bro what Kevin was known for his conditioning lmfao

Awesome vid! And full range of motion. No half repping like nowadays
Damn.. Kevin was Stong on Pressing Movements.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh KL. Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇪🇸
Legend says that 1996-97 Kevin Levrone looked better than Phil heath ...! Especially the bald Kevin Levrone... Condition was other worldly
That 96 Kevin would demolish Phil any year!
Lol nah

I believe the only thing that kept Kevin from winning the Mr Olympia was his back and one year i remember his back looking really good
lvrone is a real one for putting a day care
Kevin Levrone, o rei sem coroa.
Levrone, sou fã desse cara…,poderia colar na ironberg
"Just like that Nike check" . Damn idolators.

Hmmm... maybe? Too bad we couldn’t get Kevin on here to get some insider info straight from the man himself!
So, did he have his own gym? Damn!
I wonder if he still has it
Nope, no more gym for Levrone.
Wow how strong is he, and his physique is unreal,
Tenía un hermoso cuerpo
Impresionante era Kevin tríceps y hombros de otro planeta

Both of them are crazy strong.
He should ve Won that Years Mr O.
Imagine if he'd trained all year and taken it as seriously as Dorian.
