I think it was a huge mistake to fly in a day and a half out. When I fly that long I hold water. I'm sure if you are comp prepping with all that supplementation it's worse. He should have Flown in a week out. Instead he went to the Arnold Columbus for a day and a 1/2 and then messed around flying in a day out from stage day. Bad way to end an 18 month prep.Comment

I'm over 60 and can tell you there is no such age if you're doing the right things consistently.OFFO

No like I stated earlier, that flight sucks donkey turds. You WILL hold water andlooks shit for several days minimum. Modulated cabin pressure or not, the body senses altitude and will conserve fluids since, as you know, vaporization occurs at a higher rate at altitude.Comment

He said numerous times he was doing 315 x 20 for 4 sets on squats. That's painful to just think about. Followed that with leg presses, hacks. How da fuck his legs haven't grown is beyond me. I'm 54, still have good legs & haven't squatted in 15 years. Then again I didn't take a 13 year layoff.Comment

I'm a big fan of Kevins & was one of the many that was hoping his insane genetics could overcome time. Obviously not. It wasn't just his legs or conditioning. His pec thickness is nothing like before - especially upper pecs. Back detail is gone also. The guy still has those great delts & arms, but that's about it. He's built a helluva following since his comeback - including myself - but nobody in their right mind will ever buy into it IF he ever decides to come back again.Comment

I feel like we bag full of old men are breaking his balls for being old. I think we were all wishing he would defeat time. Sorry to say but we just don't see 53 year old sprinters taking the 100 at the Olympics. We don't even see them taking 13th. What can we do? If he came in dialed in he might have bumped up to 11th. I'm living not far from him. Use to train in the same gym as Rhoden. Rumor was that Kevin had to shoot his sweeps back in the day. Wondering if they were never his best body part to begin with. We age and the back, knees, hips and neck wears out. Short of a miracle we weren't going to see a 95% Kevin ever again. We saw a 250 on stage Kevin and it was not world class with nothing below mid thigh reminiscent of 1996. I feel bad for him but then again I don't he put in his work and, if we were true to ourselves, he did pull off somewhat of a miracle. He probably brought back 75% of the old Kevin. He hack squatted 7 plates a side. He deadlifted 600 easily. He behind the neck pressed ~400 for reps. He bench pressed well into the 500s. He is still a freaking beast at 53.. just not as pretty as he sue to be. But who is so pretty at 53 after battling chaos for 1/2 a century. What else can I say. I hope he keeps banging away, finds a way to train without turning into Ronnie and guest poses for 2 years and give us some great pics to keep the drama going between haters and fans.Comment

Yea those are all good points you guys put up. I have a ton of respect for the guy to at least try and see what he could do. Same here, I was hoping for the miracle to happen...reality kind of sets in.
On a somewhat different note, Lee Labrada recently put up some leg/quad pics, and they look phenomenal. He's aged well.Comment

Looks a lot better here a week later at the Gladiator down the road from me.
