He posed down with Cedric at the press conference...

While he looks fantastic for a 52 y.o guy and what he has achieved in such a short time is mind boggling, he appears to be a shell of his former self. That crazy width is gone, waist looks wider even though he claims it's 2" smaller than back in the day, the pecs aren't thick, and the back thickness is gone bigtime. And we haven't even seen the legs yet. Granted he's flat and hasn't even carbed up yet, and his skin is so light colored that the lights flush him out, but still. Unless he looks MUCH better coming 2 days, I doubt he will finish top 10. Hope I'm wrong. IF he would train hard for another year, he might be able to do some damage. Guess father time is more powerful than the best genetics around.

Just my take.
 
You have a good eye Hank, but I'm hoping he looks better after carbing up and getting his tan.
 
He still looks freakin phenominal. His muscles show a level of maturation Cedric didn't show. Will he win? I seriously doubt it. He used the same approach he used to use and at his age it just rakes a bit more time I think. But he will defiantly have some people sweating. The rest of tge field better bring their A game for sure or Kevin will do some dsmage.
 
Is this a one and done for kevin or is he going to get back in the full time swing of things??

I don't see the muscle maturity thing your seeing. He does hold his own in the MM shot for sure. But when he turns around it's all over.

Everyone including me is trying to figure out wtf happened to his waist? :eek: Does it just look wider bcoz his shoulders are much narrower than before or what? Strange - was hoping his waist would set him apart.

In an interview with Chick, he said he would stick around to do a tour of a few shows after the O, and leave it open depending on how he feels regarding future shows.
 
DPG, spot on brother....I'm sad, but he still looks fukken phenomenal. He definitely is the real deal and is a winner regardless of his placing. Hoping he can pull some magic in the next 2 days....which I know he will look better, but so will most of the others. Cedric looked young and crisp in the back comparison next to him, and Kev didn't look up to par. He can hold his own from the from view, but his wideness and thickness is not there.

...and of course his legs are yet to be shown.

Hope he kills it over the weekend. He looked pissed and deflated after the psoedown, I think it messed with his head because he didn't look happy after the back shots.
 
he looks great for 52, however he doesn't look like a top 15 even to me. Cedric made him look tiny, and nobody was hoping levrone would kick ass more than me. What he has done in such a short time is incredible but father time is undefeated and thats just reality.

Yeah. Legs aren't even state caliber. I kinda pity him. He had no business being up there at all. Why da fuck I wonder did he even go thru with it?? He could obviously see in the mirror he doesn't have a national level physique - why da fuck didn't his close friends in the gym tell him. Wonder IF he even let them see his legs? Still a legend, but he needs to hang it up IMO. Those legs are gone.
 
Maybe he's needing a quick cash influx and this exposure might shake some things loose for him. How many 52 year old men in the world look like he does right now? He's a great advertisement for anti aging supps.
 
I feel the opposite. IF he wanted to advertise etc, he should have just taken offstage shots with some camera tricks he can look even better.

The way he looked on stage yesterday, he looked so out of place and sad. you know how at national shows every now and then you will see someone that doesnt belong on stage but got on anyways. That was kevin last night.

I just prayed that he does not let it get to him mentally. It also seemed like he was having a lot of muscle twitches trying to hold poses. Just not worth the health risks at any age but the older you get the more you play with fire.


People are saying he is doing it for his supplement line. If that is true, that is a bad marketing decision. The people that know Kevin Levrone, are true bodybuilding fanatics who allready know the Bullshit behind supplements besides whey, casein and creatine and we allready have out go to companies :- optimum nutrion, NOW, True nutrition etc. Just cause ronnie coleman, jay cutler or kevin put their face on a jug of protein does not mean I will go out and buy it. I am not that naive.

The naive people that you can sway to buy your supplements by marketing are going to look at Kevin and say he looks the worse out of all the athletes. Why would I buy his supplement line. I rather buy Ramy, Rhoden, Bonac etc.

I feel like he is surrounded by a bunch of yes man and lost proper judgement.
 
Father time caught him by the legs. Too bad. Wonder if he'll try to bring them up and do another show.
 
I was pissed bro. I've never been a fan of his but I really thought he was smarter than this. Guess I gave him too much credit. Looked like total shit. Just embarrassing. Fuck him being 52 and looking good for his age this is the Olympia not a before and after photo shoot. Not to mention the mad shit he was talking. Total clown
 
It's disappoint but look at all the hype he brought to the Olympia how much more interest there was this year because of him...I think that was the point and that they knew and he knew he wouldn't place.... It was about bring some hype back to the show
 
And I think his waste looks bigger but it's more of an optical illusion cuz he is much smaller so overall it makes his waste look bigger
 
He put a new vid out saying he had a pec tear in late May & his knee was fucked up so couldn't squat or hit legs like he wanted. He showed the videos taken from the docs office for proof. Said he still went thru with it bcoz he set out to do it & wanted to finish it out. Tough dude man. Vid's on YT & over at MD. Doubt it woulda got him in the top 10, but maybe better than last place who knows.
 
I think it was more about the hype and those videos are more just to save face....countless people were saying he was bigger in person then in pics and he would win to help build the hype... He hyped it up himself and didn't come out with those pics n videos til afterwards just so the hype would stay.... I love the guy but he looked bad and should have bowed out last minute would have been better then staying on stage like that....
 
Over on Rx someone posted some of his night show pics. He was way way fuller. Unfortunately Amazon fugged up and cut his routine off so no one saw it other than a few seconds. Levrone also posted a youtube showing 2 injuries dring prep, a pac tear and severe knee tendonitis.
