A lot of gyms in Iraq they have posters of Kevin Levrone and many other former champions like Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Nasir Alsunbati, Shawn Ray, and the list goes on...... displayed on their walls to motivate trainees. Wish you all the best Kevin, you will always be a champion in bodybuilding to millions of fans around the world.
Exactly, he is a winner.....above all resulty. Hope he stay longer in shape, healty, his spirit be with us, as longer as it possible. We need truly models.
No wonder why Dorian respects Kevin so much. They both have the same Deep philosophical roots to their perspective of life. Kudos man. You ARE a legend.
I love this video. Great stuff Generation Iron, ad as a 57-year-old, thank you Kevin Levrone for giving me the confidence to continue to work out and for showing the world that a 50+ year-old can still look great. You're the best.
Man those delts are huge! The great thing about the internet is I can finally hear what my favourite bodybuilders have to say. Back in the day there wasn't much in the way of interviews like this. Truly inspiring! Kevin is a true role model.
He attained the conditioning to be competitive in 2016 and the size in 2018. He never put the two together. But then there's something you either have or you don't. That head-to-toe front-to -back detail and muscle separation. Time takes that away. But what we still don't absolutely know for certain is how much of that detail is out of reach for a 50+ Levrone, because he hasn't come close to subjecting himself to a full precontest regimen, possibly because he himself considers it a mystery and doesn't want to do any great harm to his body. If he ever decides to go full nuclear in the near future and actually box with the current pros you would see him bigger than in 2018, and leaner than 2016. But even then, would we see good detail in the back and legs? Good separation? I think Kevin is still deciding on whether or not he needs to give himself these answers.
Much respect to Kev. I was always a fan of him and was really stoked and supportive of his drive to the Olympia. Did I think he’d win or place? No.. but hey, the guy is how old... and he is WAY bigger than he was before he started. There’s a lot to be said about that. Besides, in this era of bubble guts and no symmetry, Kev is a breath of fresh air. Kev - I hope you’re reading this. YOU ACCOMPLISHED A LOT BRO... AND INSPIRED MORE THAN YOU THINK. God Bless.
this is a guy that truly knows his body! 100% respect for him to say throw one show for heath, to take another show! an at his age that's awesome. so to all you young guys that say u can't! look at at him an take notes!!! 😉
Roberto Acosta Whether Kevin is taking steroids or not does not take away from him spreading the message of Jesus. Are you perfect? Have you tried to tell people about Jesus lately? Hope so, God bless.
some real deep shit right here, never really followed levrone but i have new found respect for this man. Not only does he display physical growth (after losing all his gains) but mentally and spiritually he is on another level right now. Awesome interview !
I don’t think most people will ever understand how hard these guys work. I was extremely dedicated at one point and time in my life and was working out literally twice a day 1 hour weights and 1 hour hard cardio and most people just couldn’t keep up with me at all, including myself now I couldn’t do that now, but I will say this I kept my weights light and did lots of reps so I know there r people that work much harder than even that. Like I hated that feeling after leg day when I could barely walk I avoided that, & I know there are people that embrace that instead.
Kevin you're the man! Everybody complaining here are just negatives (and the world are FULL of them), these people will never push the boundries themselfs nor any limits. In the 60-70s the Mr Olympias where in their 20's, now they are in their 40's. People are pushing the boundries forward all the time. Proving that the limits can be pushed and extended, and proving naysayers wrong. I think its much more a matter of attitude and mental strenght than anything else. Shawn Rhoden didnt think "im too old for this sh-t" when he was training for Mr Olympia, and he won over everybody, all these younger people. Levrone has already set a new standard, and in such short time is simply amazing, with leg injury and all. I have no doubt that if he just keep going at it, he would get even better. Now Levrone has health in mind doing this, and this may be the main factor to why he wouldnt reach that extra procent, and I really respect that, its smart. And doesnt matter really, he has really shown some amazing deeds these years. Levrone has Pushed the boundries further.
You should do a feature on the guy who made most of the footage we watch today and made a lot of these guys well known. Mitsuru okabe. Doesn’t get enough recognition I think.
I love kevin as much as everyone else but realistically the guy will never be competitive again.personally I think they should bring back the master's Mr.Olympia and can compete there for his last time
Drewe Ray youre completely wrong! Think youre just jealous! Youre forgeting one very important thing! Kevin has incredible genetics! Which gives him the edge over most people! His age! Kevin is a great motivator!
IF he get back in 07 that will be a different story. Anyway that was amazing to see him on stage . He get old school fans back to bodybuilding for a moment.
I’m telling you this, Kevin Levrone is an all time great 22 first place finishes come on man, this guy can do things in 3 months what guys do in a year, nobody trains like him with his work Ethic he will be back just you watch.
Thing is Kevine didn't overcome the doubters, we all said he would probably come close to last during the 2016 Olympia, and maybe last during the Arnold, so he proved no one wrong!
The comeback was a smart business move on Kevin's part. Who cares if he competes? He still looks young and I'm sure he's not complaining about the income he's making with seminars and appearances.
Kevin didn't came to win that year but to prove everyone wrong n shut every one up that if we decide what we have to do we can acheive it may what come...... Cheers buddy
Kev.... I cant believe ur saved... And Kai is too, AWESOME.... So happy u quoted scripture and spoke about our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ!!! God bless Kev.... keep up the good work, ur looking good homie!
I say this as a massive fan of KL and someone who followed his career right from the early 90s. I feel like Kevin relied so much on his awesome genetics in the sense that he wanted to do what he’d done when he was younger and expected to get the same results. He didn’t take into account his age. Like he tore his pec early on in his comeback. U just can’t go heavy like u could when u were younger, the body WOnt take it. Dennis James tried to show KL a safer way to stimulate muscle, I feel it was a mistake on his part not to heed that advice. But after his last show in Australia, Milos Sarcev offered to guide KL into one more show. KL not excepting this offer was a great shame imo, we will never know what Milos could’ve done with him-but I think it would’ve been Good!!
Kevin’s Guest posing after the Arnold Australia proved that with the right coaching and time, he could be a top 10 Olympian today. There are some people in this world that are genetic beasts. Kevin’s one of them.
denzel k .... I meant that they could be. With more time and proper coaching he could *potentially* be top 10. Milos is the guy I think that could make it happen for kev. Hopefully he considers doing the Olympia.
Welcome to the jungle - Nah dude...Milos's giant sets and insulin won't bring Kevin back to his prime years. You can't defeat father time. Kevin was already slipping the last couple of years before he retired for the first time...especially his legs. Sure, he blamed it on an injury. But it would have happened injury or not. We all age. It happens. ...at the same time, I wonder what Kevin would have looked like if he had been able to get his hands on some escicline. He competed during the escicline era..and apparently, he loved the stuff. Just look at what his delts used to look like hehe. Maybe a few shots in his back and quads could have fixed him up...hhah..nahh, i'm just plalying. Kevin got 'old'... great genetics or not, you can't stop your body from aging.
Michael R. I don’t think kev will ever be at 100% again. But if he could get even 10th place at the O, then that would be extraordinary! Of course that’s a long-shot, but that could happen. I’ve seen Kevin train, the one thing I noticed is that he trains extra heavy. For someone that is on anabolics, it’s not a smart way to train. A high pace workout with lots of volume could potentially be better. It’s all about getting a massive pump and volume if you are enhanced. I noticed Kevin was very Thick, but if he focused on the pump, he could improve. And I say milos is the guy because he’s all about high intensity training. I noticed Kevin doesn’t like to switch it up from heavy lifting. Perhaps a little variety could help.
Again, why are people still thinking he can compete...look at his physique in 2003 his body was nothing like it was in the mid 90s...he might have some amazing genetics, but his training method of going balls to the wall for a few months was just to get back his body to where it was so he never made any improvements in his physique and his body just gradually got worse I'd say in 98 was the last year of his prime. Does he look better than 99.9% of 50 years olds..yes, but he can not be competitive with today's younger open class. His skin elasticity is gone as you saw how his back and glutes look melted. Just let the guy retire and focus on his brand. The only thing that is going to grow on Kevin is his line of excuses...he said he learned his lesson early in his career about flying in a previous interview "How I see it" and how it affects you, so I'm not buying his excuse about his arnold appearance.
On the next interview can you please turn the lights on. His condition at 53 is better than most 30 year olds in the gym on PEDS. Was OZ the last competitive comeback?
if his lower body was up to par like his upper body, he would have a lot of bb on stage currently. The only reason why his legs didn't come back wasn't for lack of muscle response, it was simply bad knees that slowed his progress. I think he needed a little more time and he would have great!
Nice words. But i also remember the words before his comeback. Sounded a bit different. Like he had a chance for a good placement at the Olympia. He is a legend. He wrote Bodybuildinghistory. But that are my honest thoughts about the whole story.
I'm proud of you Kevin. This clearly shows that when you stop dreaming, you stop living. Keep it up. Much love and support.
“my body hasn't accept being old“ you have my Respect Mr. Levrone!
A lot of gyms in Iraq they have posters of Kevin Levrone and many other former champions like Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Nasir Alsunbati, Shawn Ray, and the list goes on...... displayed on their walls to motivate trainees. Wish you all the best Kevin, you will always be a champion in bodybuilding to millions of fans around the world.
What about Nasser El Sonbaty?
Iraq is cool! Saddam got wacked cause he didn't accept and sell oil in the federal reserve fake paper money currency....
His comeback wasn't about winning it was purely about inspiring nothing more
DORIAN PRIME
And about money.
Lümmelmann well why would you do it for free? Be realistic please. Everyone needs money.
Exactly, he is a winner.....above all resulty. Hope he stay longer in shape, healty, his spirit be with us, as longer as it possible. We need truly models.
DORIAN PRIME and yes he did inspire me. Thank you Kevin from the bottom of my heart. God bless you
It was for his supplement brand... believe me
No wonder why Dorian respects Kevin so much. They both have the same Deep philosophical roots to their perspective of life.
Kudos man. You ARE a legend.
I love this video. Great stuff Generation Iron, ad as a 57-year-old, thank you Kevin Levrone for giving me the confidence to continue to work out and for showing the world that a 50+ year-old can still look great. You're the best.
He is doing great, it’s not just about Winning it’s about showing everybody that’s never too late. Such an inspiration. Wish you all the best!!
Kevin is a good guy, really down to earth guy. This guy deserves the most respect for what he’s accomplished
Levrone has been one of the greats of bodybuilding, and such an inspiration in his longevity. Wishing him the best in transitioning into older age.
I love Kevin's outlook and positivity..
TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION, LISTEN TO THE WISE WORDS THAT GO BEYOND THE MUSCLE 💪
Man those delts are huge! The great thing about the internet is I can finally hear what my favourite bodybuilders have to say. Back in the day there wasn't much in the way of interviews like this. Truly inspiring! Kevin is a true role model.
This guy doesn't seem to age AT ALL!!!!! One of great ones. Well spoken and inspirational
Black dont crack
That was a powerful interview!! Thank you!!!
He attained the conditioning to be competitive in 2016 and the size in 2018. He never put the two together. But then there's something you either have or you don't. That head-to-toe front-to -back detail and muscle separation. Time takes that away.

But even then, would we see good detail in the back and legs? Good separation? I think Kevin is still deciding on whether or not he needs to give himself these answers.
The Legend Kevin Levrone
No need to explain to us. But, he did it anyway. We love u 3M!
Much respect to Kev. I was always a fan of him and was really stoked and supportive of his drive to the Olympia. Did I think he’d win or place? No.. but hey, the guy is how old... and he is WAY bigger than he was before he started. There’s a lot to be said about that. Besides, in this era of bubble guts and no symmetry, Kev is a breath of fresh air. Kev - I hope you’re reading this. YOU ACCOMPLISHED A LOT BRO... AND INSPIRED MORE THAN YOU THINK. God Bless.
they have symmetry but no balance because they don't inject oil into the legs.
Kev's got a bubble gut now at 53 you can't beat father time
this is a guy that truly knows his body! 100% respect for him to say throw one show for heath, to take another show! an at his age that's awesome. so to all you young guys that say u can't! look at at him an take notes!!! 😉
God bless you Kevin Love your talking about Jesus. Well done Vlad your putting out great content from great bodybuilders.
Roberto Acosta Whether Kevin is taking steroids or not does not take away from him spreading the message of Jesus. Are you perfect? Have you tried to tell people about Jesus lately? Hope so, God bless.
Way to go Mystical Glow.
No matter what bring the gospel out.
Kevin the preacher 😁👍🏻
Mystical Glow TV Pure inspiration and great achievement by Kevin. God is not required here
abdominussi Without God there is nothing. Dont be so fast to dismiss him. God bless
This man is 50 years old and competing with the best of the world, God is on his side always.
The best ever for me. He should have won at least one Mr. O.
some real deep shit right here, never really followed levrone but i have new found respect for this man. Not only does he display physical growth (after losing all his gains) but mentally and spiritually he is on another level right now. Awesome interview !
Dude's got a big heart.. Dedicated for life... That's not common.... Kevin's one of a kind...
I don’t think most people will ever understand how hard these guys work. I was extremely dedicated at one point and time in my life and was working out literally twice a day 1 hour weights and 1 hour hard cardio and most people just couldn’t keep up with me at all, including myself now I couldn’t do that now, but I will say this I kept my weights light and did lots of reps so I know there r people that work much harder than even that.

Best Kevin Motivational video have helped me since It was uploaded
Kevin you're the man!

You should do a feature on the guy who made most of the footage we watch today and made a lot of these guys well known. Mitsuru okabe. Doesn’t get enough recognition I think.
Billy Witch DoctorDotCom Mits is a great guy! I miss him in the industry!
what a legend he makes me want to get motivated again should of won mr olympia once. best years were weight training still looking huge
His comeback motivated me to do my own comeback.
I love ❤️ Levrone.
You the best of the Best Brotha...Shaaaabummm...am glad i met you in hollywood in 2005...so humble and nice
I love kevin as much as everyone else but realistically the guy will never be competitive again.personally I think they should bring back the master's Mr.Olympia and can compete there for his last time
he did so much more than a tittle right now !! but i agree master mr O is a good idea after all thouse new devisions
Drewe Ray i agree with master Olympia
He isnt competeing anymore
Drewe Ray youre completely wrong! Think youre just jealous! Youre forgeting one very important thing! Kevin has incredible genetics! Which gives him the edge over most people! His age! Kevin is a great motivator!
Zero Legs.
"I got my mr olympia when my son just born"
This guy somehow just got even more incredible 🤔❤️
Can't stop looking at the shoulder and arm! Man, he is in shape.
IF he get back in 07 that will be a different story. Anyway that was amazing to see him on stage . He get old school fans back to bodybuilding for a moment.
At 53 Kevin looks like 40
Dreamscape if he grow hair he looks 30 also
Steroids are anti-aging
He is the oldest man in the village, he's a 42
Black dont crack......

Kevin said on Instagram that he's getting heavy. Yep, he's doing it again.
I like Kevin, he actually seems like a good person.
Thing is Kevine didn't overcome the doubters, we all said he would probably come close to last during the 2016 Olympia, and maybe last during the Arnold, so he proved no one wrong!

One of the truly best! Phenomenal genetics
Kevin looked awesome
I also believe that Kev, time is not real it's just relating to different processes around us
Kevin the best
My favorite all time . ..Shoulders huge
Damn great video!
It’s sad watching KL go out like that.
The legs no matter how much Drugs don’t come back.
Operation Truth never even had the best legs to begin with
Operation Truth naw your fucking crazy forget the legs, his upper body is what it was all about...... PERIOD
Only Kevin!!
Didn't realize Kevin was so profound.
Facts . Love it
Class Act, Man and Bodybuilder 💪 💪
On the next interview can you please turn the lights on. His condition at 53 is better than most 30 year olds in the gym on PEDS. Was OZ the last competitive comeback?
I personally would like to see him try and keep the size while getting the insulin gut down like 2016.
Respect, what else!
if his lower body was up to par like his upper body, he would have a lot of bb on stage currently. The only reason why his legs didn't come back wasn't for lack of muscle response, it was simply bad knees that slowed his progress. I think he needed a little more time and he would have great!
Love you brother
Nice words. But i also remember the words before his comeback. Sounded a bit different. Like he had a chance for a good placement at the Olympia. He is a legend. He wrote Bodybuildinghistory. But that are my honest thoughts about the whole story.
YES !!! it was worth it.
