This is the 2002 BFTO of Kevin Levrone, he is the strongest but still having great form bodybuilder I have ever seen, used to get 405lb behind the neck shoulder presses on the smith machine as well
Sonetimes I be so happy that youtube is the closest to the time machine we have got! This video is 10 years before I was born and seeing my idol training in his prime is the best thing that I can watch
I really love the part where his spotter wouldn’t move his hands. 8 min or so into the video. That’s a good training buddy, he knows where Kevin’s ego/headspace is at rn being this close to Olympia, and doesn’t want to let him hurt himself by accident by pushing too far. Kevin is super graceful about it too I just love Kevin’s mentality
he said he benched 500 lbs at 2002 also . This video is for mr olympia 2002 . you can not find another video like this (12 rep of 405 lbs) but his bodyweight was a little lighter than 1998 or 1997 and some years
Uno de mis idolos en el fisicoculturismos de los años 90s, la epoca de oro del deporte de los fierros, excelente, buena suerte en su regreso para el gran Kevin Levrone,
How old are you all? What do you think that sponsorise Mr olympia or all the other contests? Rice, potatos and chicken manufactures? All these suplements sponsorise the sport and keep it alive to these levels. Do you think that the judges they will bite the hand who feed them?
From 8:15 the guy doing dumbbell pullovers is turning them into a kind of modified skullcrusher which is not the way to do them if your aim is to work lats. The arms should be slightly bent and locked in position throughout the movement. From 9:15 onwards Kevin uses perfect form and shows how it should be done.
That gym in Fullerton was just a marvel of bodybuilding.. there was two meccas of bodybuilding in California, Gold's in Venice and Powerhouse/gold's/world's/colosseum gym in Fullerton.
He used to train only 5 months per year while competing and lift this insane amount of weights with these number of reps!! Levrone is the most genetically gifted bodybuilder in history!
Imo best front balance of any bb. His arms with Delts and chest its just mesmerizing. And his midsection is in check on a dailyyyyy. Saluted by all means
Yes true. Some more than others. I get alot in my Gym like that. Look down on others, like myself. Just because I'm natural and train hard focused without the Gear!

Couldn't agree more bodybuilding nowadays is all about seeking attention of others on a social media platform kinda sad and embarrassing in a way
@@duncanrobertson9408 yeah its terrible and it seems EVERYONE is selling supplements to, there is TOOO many! Everyone is just a poser now and trying to push their clothing lines aswell
@@jcbanbury ask of these retro bodybuilders sold shit you moron what a terrible point
Yes! 💪🏼
The oversized shirts and sweats! Now everyone wants to wear spandex 😂
405 for 12 reps (repeatedly) 1 week out, is completely insane! Kevin was strong AF!
so strong. alot if these guy fell into ronnies shadow chasing him cause he was such a freak but they were freaks also
Is *
And full rom, he truly is the best.
Perfect technique as well, no half reps, no bounce of the bottom
I laughed so hard after I saw the 6th rep. Nobody is moving that weight that easy nowadays. Especially sub 15% body fat😂
Love Kevin's face when everyone started clapping. Such a humble guy.
Smoothest benching with 405 I've ever seen. Very impressive.
Why is it always 405 not 400? Just curious 😆

1 week out from a fucking show too... and repping 4 plates on incline AFTER that
@@Culterin Kevin is a strong ass dude. Lol

One of, would say that Mike Mentzer was the greatest.
Notice how he's still able to lockout his elbows during max sets, that's very impressive tricep strength.
Yes true, he had so big triceps
@@Grimmjow19872 he had big everything brother
@@Kuplpa yea true. But for me his triceps stood out the most.
@@Grimmjow19872He's most known for his shoulders and back bro whaaat
@@simbadooo9055 True you’re right man
Not only was he huge he always looked so athletic. Just the ultimate physique.
Who cares if it's an old vid or new? It's all about Kev man! The legend. Respect him.
Kevin makes benching heavy just a walk in the park... crazy strong
405! Last rep! Inclined! And having a conversation with your spotter to let go of the bar! FML!
Insane 😳
This guy is seriously strong
If those plates are really 45 pound, than he is insanely strong. Never seen 405 benched this smoothly.
@@hungarianbeast "If" lmao. Like there is any doubt.
@Island Mike Pound plates have a history of not being exactly 45 lb. Some are lighter. That's why KG plates are so heavily pushed in Powerlifting.
@@ownthispwn I mean even if it's not exactly 405, it's still a crazy demonstration of strenght and ergonomics.
Followed Levrone since he was an amateur. But you have to check out UPwrlifter. Guy is 160 pounds and benches 360-400 pounds.
Everytime i see this guy, hes always in a positive attitude, good job Kev.
I don't know of any other bodybuilder who trains with full range of motion! Awesome
Lee Priest had a flawless form
Dorian Yates
Cali muscle! 😂😂😂😂😂
Most dont because they concentrate on TUT and full ROM creates moments of reduced tension
Don't know if the comment already excist but... Uncrowned Mr. O!
His time was highly competitive.
Wish he controlled the music at my gym. He's got good taste!
@Deathheads69 yes you can. Disturbed is the most basic ass gym music, it makes me want to kill someone and not in the good way.
Yes facts
His music choice is phenomenal.
Hell yea man, disturbed and stained. Good music choice. I always listen to them when working out
Kevin is strong as hell!
that Disturbed background music, badass gym.
know the song at about 4:55?
Nikolay Koshev Disturbed - shout
Nikolay Koshev 4:55 song is called "Enemy"
This is the 2002 BFTO of Kevin Levrone, he is the strongest but still having great form bodybuilder I have ever seen, used to get 405lb behind the neck shoulder presses on the smith machine as well
You used to hit 405 on the shoulder press or Kevin?
@@israelduarte1189 Kevin lol
can't remember how many training videos from the pros I've watched, this is the first one I see people clap after a lift tho.. 6:28 cool
405 on the incline. I will clap too!
Joel Khoo for 12 reps this Guy is a beast
They are impressed with his crazy lifts 💪
holy fuck. most competitive powerlifters today still cant rep out 405 like em
Lol yeah. Plus he did that after hittin 4 plates on flat😮
he is strong for sure but watch Ronnie's The Unbelievable sometime.........
There are different weight classes first of all. And he just has good genetics that’s it, nothing to praise
@Island Mike His comment was 3 years ago. You really think he’s come back to reply? Lmao
@@wozhendeaa keep sipping that haterade. What are your accomplishments in life?
405 for 12 😳
Crazy strong, and with perfect form
Perfect reps. Amazing with 405 on the bar.
Imagine a training partner duo where the "weak" guy puts up 315 for 10. 😂😂
flawless form too.
Perfect form*
Best shoulders ever.
love that environment, so encouraging, he got congratulated and today all u hear is "no ROM, doesn't lift, blah blah" so motivation whatsoever
He said he’s a week out from his shoe and isn’t risking anything by lifting heavy wtf. 405 for 12 what.
Yea if he hits it for 12, it's not heavy to him
His shoe has nothing to do with bodybuilding.
He's a power machine too! Impressive .. Too bad he came in the era of big ronnie .. otherwise he would win every show hands down!
To be fair he was beating Ronnie til he taught him how to drop the last bit of water the night before shows then Ronnie started winning lol.
Wish Kevin the best of luck!
Sonetimes I be so happy that youtube is the closest to the time machine we have got! This video is 10 years before I was born and seeing my idol training in his prime is the best thing that I can watch

One of my fav bodybuilders of all times by far. He should have won a couple olympias.
One of my main inspirations, his focus is insane
He is so good, the fact the he hasn't won any Mr. O is beyond me
It was just a right place wrong time thing. Not many people were going to beat prime Ronnie and prime Jay Cutler

Kevin Levrone a real best, and awesome soundtrack in the gym, really Awesome vid.
Love kevins physique man. Dudes tossing 315-405 like cake
Everyone talk about ronnie Coleman but I love this guy🔥🔥🔥
He's so humble and likable, I hope he does win. :D

Levrone has always been strong as hell ...... Crazy strong
405 incline! I said 405 incline!!!! For reps!!! This guy can incline bench more then I can deadlift
How the stupids and blind judges looked win the King of gut Coleman in 2002, this guy is the real mr Olympia 2002.
The judges have a fetish for big guts.

He's top 6 diffently
watch him now on instagram...he is strong like before
Old video he is still the man not like this bro he is in his prime here.
It was great watching Kevin come out tonight during the pre judging to my sacrifice. He's a huge creed fan, as am I.
Spot on form, old school style baby!!!!!
4:21 Notice how levrone puts the barbell back onto bar without needing much assistance from his partner after doing 405 for 12.😬 insane bro!

Yeah "Staind-Outside" sounding in the background at the end!
Simpler times. I wish I could go back and know what I know now.
If Kevin was in his prime in 2023 he would have millions of subs both huge and entertaining
I thought these gains were from this time around, almost had a panic attack.

How’s the gym now? Is it the same
Only if he had come in like this he could've smashed the Mr O 2016 lineup

Great video, hope the guy is winning the show 🙏
Anyone else hear the Disturbed in the background? Great band and great album
“Is that the whole stack? Light as shit”
Crazy how we could never do it like this again
Best triceps ever!
Seeing that kind explosiveness on the bench press is impressive asf!
Good clean reps awesome power.
This is the greatest chest and shoulder training i ve ever seen
Awesome! Just subbed! Luv Kevin Levrone, great guy,humble and smart!
If this is a new video and this is him now. The top guys better be training hard cause he looks unreal if that's the case. He will be a real threat.
I never seen him this big, best human male body i ever saw
this man was hitting 405 for reps that too with good form and he was 1 week out , then how much lifted in off season . strong af
Definitely strong af that looked like a warmup 😆
The king of Gym
Nothing like old school
Imo best front balance of any bb. His arms with Delts and chest its just mesmerizing. And his midsection is in check on a dailyyyyy. Saluted by all means
thickness in the bis n tris is just sensational.
Dude! 405 bench press for 12 reps like if it was a warm up set😩😩😩
Love old school bodybuilding. Bodybuilders these days would never do 405 for 12 reps a week before a show.
True man. Today’s gyms are full with pussies and poser and not in a good way. People now care about what to wear to the gym instead of trying hard.
Love how staind is playing in the background
Kevs the man. Strong af
The way he handles 400+ on bench, it's like paper in his hands. Dude was a freak
to this day i don't think ever seen anyone make 405 on bench look that easy, especially from a body builder holy shit
What a nice guy kevin levrone is
I enjoy every second of this video.
Just wow . His upper body was in prime his back was insane he was so dryer and unbelievable 💓💥💪👍
impressive strenght and hes 1week from m.o
1 week out? this is insane!
damn he is fucking huge here and strong as fuck great form and full reps.
That 405 on incline was seriously smooth... Levrone is one of my favorite bodybuilders
im going to tell my childern this is me in my 20s
He should have won mr olympiA
Music, clothing, vibe on point. The days before technology fucking killed it
Bro cures my depression
one of my fav bodybuilders
