Kevin Levrone is an incredible person. Very humble, straight forward, loving, and caring for others. Most importantly, he is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time.
@@Usuario-yq6uq Just because he's the most balanced doesn't mean he's the best. You'll never hear him call himself the best, because he wasn't. He's damn good though. Really damn good, and definitely a legend
Ronnie was The GOAT for 4 reasons: 1. He got really good at being a bodybuilder BEFORE he took any gear 2. Incredible genetics. 3. Incredible work ethic. 4. Flex hooked him up.
You have to look at the competition when Ronnie dominated, was on a totally different level to today's rosta makes his achievements even more impressive
Kevin is an amazing human being. He’s also another bodybuilder who was incredibly strong. If you get a chance look up the video where he’s like five or six days away from the Olympia wearing a hoodie and bench pressing 500 pounds for reps, Kevin was no joke.
I love Ronnie's attitude. All the surgeries and pains and shit he's been going through, what does he have to say about it all? "I think I could've got five with 800. I think I could've got five, EASY reps." There's something to learn from this too. If something is important to you, give it your all. He regrets not going for five. All these years later and he still thinks about that. He don't even seem to give a fuck about the pain and the surgeries he's endured. I remember this video, he did 800 for two and put it back on the rack. I think he could've got five too.
Flex likes to believe he was robbed and should have won the 1999 Mr. Olympia. Flex is Ronnie's best friend but I don't know if Ronnie is Flex's best friend. Ronnie was just bigger and far more conditioned than Flex. Ronnie destroyed Flex at both Olympias. It had nothing to do with Ronnie signing a contract with Joe Weider. When Flex and Ronnie were compared from the back it was game over. Flex came in too heavy and had zero conditioning in his glutes and hamstrings at both shows.
Just shows how humble Ronnie is. He beat Flex & couldn’t believe he had beaten him because he looked upto him. That’s humble. He had a completely different mindset. Always thinking you’re the underdog & having the ability to challenge that, will always give you the upper hand not just in bodybuilding but with anything in life.
On POINT Kevs I respect you alot Kevs not just for your honesty and integrity but also for what you have done and accomplished in the bodybuilding work and sport💪🏋♂️... much love and respect Kevs Love You Bro
Ronnie had the best genetics, trained the optimal way, took top quality gear and had the money to fuel it all. He had all factors in place. That is why he is the GOAT.
@Lucien Dude you're literally on every Ronnie Coleman video and black body builder video talking erroneous trash...The time you take to write these ridiculous comments is nothing short of pathetic .Your racial hatred is deeply rooted in your inadequacy, inferiority and Insecurity. You're really sad guy.
Anyone who hates on Ronnie for the way he trained and gear...dude made a fortune and is one of the most beloved bb of all time. Nobody would know who Ronnie was otherwise so yea...he took the hand he was dealt and maximized it. Lots of “coulda woulda shoulda “ in this world ..Ronnie was a doer and g.o.a.t doer
I like Kevin Levrone, he is a champ as well. Like he said for Ronnie to go through all that hardship and win the title 8 times is unbelievable.....to continually trump in a line up of champs like Kevin, Flex, Jay, Nasser, list is endless, to achieve that level.of success against arguably the best line up of bodybuilders the world will ever see is incredible.
Flex spoke the truth he was slacking off and wasnt training hard and like he said he never thought he could be mr olympia but all the other shows he dominated
Flex had the cream of the crop genetics. Tremendous v taper, a world class physique but ronnie just had that freak factor. Crazy traps, lats and chest. Later on his gut spilled out from the growth and the diet but the early ronnie was the absolute best of the best.
Ronnie is still humble. He said Arnold would beat everyone if he was held to todays standards with the modern nutrition and gear cycles because Arnold wasn’t a big eater. Ronnie still gives respect to those before him even though he doesn’t understand that there will probably never be a physique like his because of his reliance on free weights and his unreal training. You see it in most of todays huge pros with weak backs and soft physiques with poor separation.
Ronnie Coleman pushed his body past its physical limits. That's the difference between elite-level bodybuilding and most forms of functional strength training.
I don't think people realize how many factors there was that had to be just right to make Ronnie the champ that he became. Some people might build muscle easily. Others might have a naturally thin skin and low body fat. Some might be naturally strong. Others might have a good enough joints to handle LOTS of abuse. Some might have great work ethics. Others might be able to see the glass as half full rather than half empty during dark times. Some might get away with never eating vegetables. Others might have a very high pain tolerance. Some might have a pleasing muscle tie ins across most of the body. Others might have enough cash to be able to approach a career in any sport. Some might actually be interested in working out and building lots of muscle. Others might be in the right environment to be able to do just that. But very, very few nail all of the above. To my knowing there is only one, and that's Ronnie.
This is amazing coming from someone like Kevin levarone he made some great points about Ronnie Coleman however I witnessed the '90s bodybuilding area I followed that in I followed the careers of Kevin flex and Sean Ray those guys were amazing and they all I think at some point should have won the Mr Olympia contest at some point in their career however everything you said about Coleman is true if you don't train like that you won't ever be able to obtain the reward and the benefits of training like that like Ronnie Coleman
Love Ronnie Coleman ! But wow ! That was well said Kevin ! I got to give love and respect to all of them Men who made it to that elite level ! It definitely takes a special kind of person to keep that level of focus and stay the course no matter what🙏
He pushed himself so hard he can no longer walk….. who’s willing to make that sacrifice… not many people ( i still think flex physique has the best looking shape)
Nah that’s not the reason. I’m from his city and everyone knows that when he got injured and had surgeries he would go into the gym the same or next day and blow out the surgeries. Every single time. Call it just plan in dumb or obsessed maybe both. Wasn’t the heavy weights.
@@caseyporter499 Your making no sense … the man is doing 800 pound squats and over a ton of weight leg press while training for MR O that shit ain’t normal … especially training at that low body fat… his injuries were worse then a normal man’s … he pushed his body more then anyone that’s why he’s messed up… he would tell you the same himself .. don’t know what your talking about
You gotta understand Ronnie was competing against other amazing bodybuilders. There’s a reason why Lee Haney 8x Mr Olympia is forgotten sometimes because in the 80s no one was really on his level so they were easy wins for him
Flex deserves props there was a time he should have won and he never got that. Maybe politics idk but flex deserves props for what he has done and to not have one Olympia I don’t just feel bad I feel he was cheated at one point. Not necessarily against Ronnie but you have to give him props as a great without the mr. O title
Kevin was very strong as well. Ronnie had genetics. Lots of BB are very strong. But only a few have the right genetics for muscle separation and deep cuts.
I've heard a bunch of people debate who the GOAT is.........we all know the greatest decade for bodybuilding was the 90's...........almost EVERY competitor of the 90's will tell you that sir Ronnie Coleman is the greatest bodybuilder EVER..........AND lol no matter what Flex says about how he showed Ronnie what gear to take, I believe he only told him because he had no fear of Ronnie becoming what he became......If he thought for ONE SECOND that Ronnie would turn into what he did, Flex would have never told him the secrets.
dude, arnold was on roids since 16 years old, i dont think roids was so much of a secret during ronnie and flex time. if flex didnt tell him somebody else would.
Flex was a phenomenal bodybuilder - even more so - he was a legend in his mjnd! Lol Let’s talk about the Mika’s that attacked him - allegedly - prior to a show
Ronny was a phenomenon but Flex was robbed. Ronny never had great aesthetics but he had unprecedented slabs of cut beef combined with Asgardian strength. His mindset is praised but it crippled his body.
Yep. Kevin does say he o ce asked Ronnie y he kept doing it while he wasn't placing nor getting a cheque Ronnie Simply answered: "man cos I love bodybuilding....
Ronnie COLEMAN CHANGED BODYBUILDING 4-ever, he took the MR.UNIVERSE THRONE after DORIAN YATES, BEFORE Ronnie it was a lot more symmetrical but now the MAIN FOCUS is about MASS, i don't know IF THAT'S BETTER,but every sport goes through a evolution at some point. Which is better is NOT FOR ME TO DECIDE!
When they say he was 'natural'.....I believe they mean he was on basic gear like testosterone.....he didn't get on the BIG BOYS stuff until he talked to Flex....
In my considered opinion Levrone has been robbed of the sandow more than once. At least twice in my opinion. Aesthetically there’s not many who came close to Kevin.

Dont know mr o personally but 5 would be easy , ronnie has said in interviews could have broke wr.
Sorry Flex, but Ronnie waS NOT off in 1999. Ronnie in 1999 has one of the greatest physiques of ALL TIME!!!
Never understood why Flex thought that. Maybe Ronnie looked off in prejudging because the night of the show, he handed Flex his ass.
Whether he was off or not he wiped the floor with Flex that year.

Listening to Kevin talk about Ronnie is pure poetry. Noone says it better..
great interview and Kevin explained it very well why Ronnie Coleman is the G.O.A.T phenomenal genetics and unmatched work ethic
Kevin is one of my favorites. Probably the best to never win the Olympia.. props to the Maryland muscle machine
Came here to listen about Ronnie and just listened to a world champion of a person Kevin Levrone
Kevin is a truth of what a man is supposed to be. Commending Ronnie for his absolute superiority
The GOAT of Bodybuilding! There is no other way to explain. Yeah buddy!

Ronnie is a myth a legend a person that people can talk about in a godly form when it comes to body building.
Levrone is really a humble stand up guy.,.his comments were right on.
Incredible testimony from Levrone. Truly class and a great competitor.👏👏👏
Ronnie had the best genetics, trained the optimal way, took top quality gear and had the money to fuel it all. He had all factors in place. That is why he is the GOAT.
Yes King Coleman is the best EVER!

Kevin Levrone was no slouch he was incredibly strong as well I remember looking at his DVDs when I was a kid coming up.
You’ve unlocked mythical level Ronnie Coleman knowledge
Ronnie Coleman is the best. God bless him.
Such wonderful reflections!! Real gentlemen
Levrone was also seriously strong, crazy strong.

Kevin Levrone is an amazing person
Levrone has and always will be classy. He is respectful, and I wish he were more vocal about himself. He also has a strong following as a favorite.
Ronnie Coleman pushed his body past its physical limits. That's the difference between elite-level bodybuilding and most forms of functional strength training.
Il est juste la légende du bodybuilding 🙏🏻
Well said kevin
A natural heavy weight pro, amazing
Thanks for the video, FIT 4 STRENGTH
Deym, i thought all those time kevin levrone is mad and bitter about Ronnie but i was wrong all along. Gotta love kevin for this.
Kevin’s perfect comment on Ronnie about giving us what god gave him. Class.

But very, very few nail all of the above. To my knowing there is only one, and that's Ronnie.

PUMP IT PUMP IT!!!!
i really feel like no bodybuilder should ever speak back about the GOD Arnold and the Demi God Ronnie Coleman!!!! Those 2 men are truly gods.
You have issues.
Great video ..Loved it. .Shame that kevin Levrone never won the Mr. Olympia..
it's not genetics ppl! it's mind power! when you realize this you can achieve your God form. We all have this power.

Ronnie Coleman is the strongest bodybuilder and most muscular human being on the planet period!
As much as Ronnie was dominant, esthetically Levrone had a better physique (with Flex Wheeler) but that's just me.
True but you have to remember it’s not really about nice physique it’s about looking freakish, lean and proportionate.
@@banzrichy I'd say it depends on the era and judges....Ronnie's a product of the mass monster era.. the dude was like 280 on stage - crazy.
Where can i get the black exile fitness hoodie from kevin ?
kev isn't far away from ronnie, I've seen kev's comeback and how much effort he was able to put
Its simple. He loved doing it. I love painting, i will always feel bad when i am not doing it

to think that ronnie competed naturally for so long
As great as Ronnie was.. I personally preferred Kevin’s physique all day long. Kevin was also a genetic freak..
Ronnie Coleman is what david goggins would be as a bodybuilder.
Ronnie was one of the best but no way he turned pro before using gear

I'm sorry. But anyone who genuinely thinks Flex should've won in 99 or that Ronnie missed his peak then is just dumb.
What are you talking about. Flex had an amazing physique
Why is Kevin still so big at his age? Is this an older footage?
It's a bit older yes, Kevin was back on the sauce making his comeback.....he's back to normal size now I believe...
Ronnie training eventually destroyed his body. Kevin still looks healthy and I believe they're the same age.
