Can Kevin Levrone Make Top 10 2016 Mr. Olympia? Bodybuilding Insider Opinion & PICS

[Iceman1981]

This guy is straight up blunt and makes valid points. Comparison pics of Kevin to last years Top 3 Phil, Dexter and Rhoden. It's an eye opener for those hardcore Levrone fans.

Aside from Kevin making a comeback, I also think Phil will win again and Rhoden will be in second. Who do you think will win and where will Kevin place?

[___]

so his only problems are legs and lats?

also i dont know if posing will be judged at the O, but if it will Kevin has a very big chance of getting a better placing.. hands down one of the best posers ever!!

not saying he can win or anything.. age is a big factor and i doubt his conditioning will be that great.. but if he bring something close to what he looked in 2002 im pretty sure he can hold his own very well

maybe its the lighting but most of side poses hes owning them badly

[MaximusPlatypus]

This guy is about as exciting and colorful as the IFBB these days

The comparisons really put in perspective how little chance Levrone has at a top 10, and how it's impossible for him to compete with the top 6. Even his 2002 form would be a struggle to top 6... and that was 14 years ago lol.

Still excited though, irregardless of how he shows up. A small (and naive) part of me believes he will get on some grade A UAE juice and prepare better than he ever has, and come in close to prime form... but that's more a fantasy than anything

Another armchair commentator that wants to judge based on a few cherry picked pictures. Do not doubt Levrone. He is coming back with a vengeance, baby.

[JohnSmeton]

i guess we will see when it happens . other than that no speculation on my part

[BartPimpson]

Am I the only one who thinks the "Bodybuilding insider" is...Iceman1981 himself?

The pictures are from the 2002 Olympia, one of Kevin's best contests ever. If there's cherry picking happening, it benefits Kevin, not Phil.

Realistically, Kevin isn't even going to be compared to the top 3. My guesses: 50% chance he won't show, and if he shows, there's another 50% chance he's outside the top 10.

I really don't think Kevin was all that close to his best in 2002. I think he's overhyped that year because of how off Ronnie was.

What has the IFBB come to when it has to invite back a 51/52 year old veteran to try and bring some glamour to the show?

Levrone doesn't have a hope in hell.

The fans want to see Phil v Kai.

I don't have time to make Youtube videos. From what I know, this Insider was confirmed on a few forums. He contacted me earlier this year. I provide him with pics and I use my social media to promote the videos.

I'm busy enough with life (work/school). Plus, my mom just had her kidney transplant. I just post on forums.

bodybuilding is dead brah. There aren't any new fans anymore because the new BB'ers are antisocial/weird/big guts/groce/boring. It's all about instagrammers like Bradley Martin now. Guys that still look somewhat human and have personality. Getting on stage is weird to most people

Are you are for real its all about a dude that is know to use fake plates and does horrible form with heavy weights, not sure what you are smoking but bodybuilding has blown up since social media all the top bodybuilders have a lot of followers, shows are sold out and expos are packed.

I don't care about the fine details of your hate-on for Bradley Martin. My point still stands

Also, the fitness industry is what you're referring to as blowing up. Men's bodybuilding at the top level is most certainly dying. Find me any active top BB'er outside of Heath and Kai that still have a large and growing audience

Meanwhile you have hundreds, if not thousands of nobody ripped dudes with as many or more followers as BB'ing's elite

[Iceman1981]

Training in Iraq. Pretty good video of Kevin's legs. He's wearing tight workout pants. They look undersized. Will they grow enough for the Mr. Olympia?

probably 1st. lol at the doubters

[Shawn346]

**** yeah baby, if anyone's got a shot it's Kevin!

[guyver79]

No chance, that's if he actually does compete and doesn't get mysteriously "injured" by ninjas before the show and has to pull out.

Legs were on their way even in his prime.

Even if he gets back to his previous size of 240lb he'd be on the small side and he won't have the conditioning to blow away the bigger guys.

Anyone that thinks he's gonna even place anywhere near the top 10 is delusional.

[RC2008]

Couldn't stand that voice for more than a minute.

I'd be more worried if Kevin has not done his research on his weaknesses, where he failed in the past, and implemented a plan of action to make sure he can overcome those weaknesses for 2016. I'd be more worried if he was riding this out on blind faith.

[HarryFlashman]

Surely the steroids now are different to the steroids used in the 90s? He'll be on the same stuff as the rest of the guys so presumably will have bigger legs etc than 90s so this video is not really of much use.

Yeah, they are different in the sense that they were better in the 90s

[HarryFlashman]

How's that then? I know nothing about steroids, but as the video points out, legs are bigger now than then. That can't be down to a difference in training, it's not human evolution either, it must just be a change in steroids. So whatever it is that guys are using now, why can't levrone just use that and then bam, his legs are the same as the other dudes?

[Loctus]

Guys are bigger over-all now than they used to be, it's not just the legs. Sports progress and it doesn't have to do with PED improvements. It's how the world works, people get better at doing things.

People run faster and jump higher and throw farther today than they did in the 90's too, it's just how it goes.

Not true at all. People try to say "sports evolve" like it's some natural fact. Sure because of better drugs and better knowledge of the human body, physical fitness in sports got better over time. But the 1990s is pretty much when it plateaued. Records are still broken here and there, but unless some insane new drugs are created, sports aren't going to get any better really.

"Javier Sotomayor (Cuba) is the current men's record holder with a jump of 2.45 m (8 ft 01⁄4 in) set in 1993 – the longest standing record in the history of the men's high jump."

"Athletics Long jump -World - Mike Powell 8.95 m (29 ft 41⁄4 in) (1991)"

"The current mile world record holders are Morocco's Hicham El Guerrouj with 3:43.13 (1999)"

"Glen Edward Gorbous (July 8, 1930 - June 12, 1990) was a Canadian baseball player who holds the current world record for longest throw of a baseball, 135.89m (445 feet, 10 inches). The feat took place on August 1, 1957, while he was playing for the Omaha Cardinals of the American Association."

i thought he is doing masters class ????

LOL dude, what a miserable attempt.

For each one of the examples you provided, I can give you 50 records getting broken every year.

P.s. If you really think Levrone has a chance at top 10, then you are delusional and you don't know much about bb.
P.p.s. this thread is such a joke...

[DanOsman]

Here's a great video from Shawn Ray, explaining why Kevin should have not announced his come back.
And he's right, point by point.

Shawn is a bitter old ****. He is mad that he is washed up yet people like Lee Priest are still killing it.

[NVious]

From the 2015 O, guys he needs to beat:
Essa
Vic
Bonac

Guys he'll be competing with:
Juan
Max
Dallas
(If they qualify)

I'll say he has an outside chance because he's Levrone, but we'll need to see how he progresses.

Leave then..you're that upset that some people think he can make top ten and don't agree with you?

Nah bro, is that they seem so sure, when if you just knew 'a bit', you'd know this thread shouldn't even exist.

[Iceman1981]

I just saw this on Instagram. It's from Levrone's IG. Shots Fired!!! Dexter is straight up!!!
