This wasn't about winning or losing it was about a guy who set out to acomplish something. When many doubted he would even get on stage he seen the goal through to the end and proved to us all that you can push hard and achieve great things if your driven, are willing to work hard and sacrifice things. Levrone didn't get the Sandow but I couldn't give a shit that wasn't the point if you thought it was you missed something......
Ahmed Really, it isn’t? What ‘in your opinion’ is it then? I’ll help you out... ‘Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscles, with the other two being skeletal and smooth muscles. It is involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart. 🙄
@@woooster17 Heart itself is a cardiovascular organ. Myocardium is the name of the muscle of the heart. Your very hand is composed of muscle but it is known as the upper limb not muscle. I am a orthopedic surgeon, who are you kidding? Btw, what you mean by your comment I can understand. So, chill. 🙂
Ahmed Thank you, I understand the difference between ‘a limb’ and the muscles within that allow movement of said limb/hand.. I stand by my initial answer & which you repeated ‘Myocardium is the name of the muscle of the heart’ i.e. involuntary, striated muscle which constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart’ I am chilled, but thank you for asking.
Ruhl and Lee Priest always stand out to me in the era they were near the top. Oddly neither of them retired and got small. Lee Priest is a genetic freak. Genetically gifted in so many ways and short-changed in others. Markus.............was the mass monster among mass monsters. Ramy is not there, his legs are to long for his height. (not his fault) It's just something. Markus was nowhere near balanced in any way, shape or form....he was a monster. Some of us think that deserves respect. (Lee was a monster too just not in the same way) I don't know if his arms will ever be beaten.
Hater's gonna hate! Levrone looked amazing for 52 years of age! better than guys half his age. watching Levrone's vids is the reason I started working out again over 3 years ago and still going! natty of cause. 20 inch arms baby Shaboommmm! 💪😠💪
even with with drugs... he transformed his body in such a short amount time dramatically.. give any other 52 year old all the drugs in the world and they don't come close not everyone or anyone can do it with just drugs lmao, he structured his diet and never strayed from it, never missed a training session or a rep, he tore his pec for christ sake just trying to bring the best package he could. Don't fucking downplay his amazing accomplishments to simply drugs you fuck wit. he is and always will be a legend
hhhk20 any old great who comes off the gear look like shit. Hard to tell that Shawn Ray or Dorian Yates once stood on the Olympic stage and they all have bellies.. and of course they're all off the Anabolics maybe still test for HRT but not like they used to. I 100% doubt that they could come back on all the gear they were on, stick to a nutrition plan, never miss a training session, and do the cardio required to make the drastic of a comeback. It just doesn't happen
A real inspiration for all of us i bet a million dollars nobody from Mr.Olympia 2016 will get that shape and size at 52 and make a come back like he did that is what you call a Beast. Much respect and love for Kevin MY MAN!
This video just gave me the chills and made me shed a tear, no joke. Thank you so much for making this video! Kevin will forever go down as one of the best bodybuilders of all time!
Kevin should get an respect full honored award for his courage to come back and inspire millions and millions of people around the world i think this guy is sent by a god living his lyf for a purpase to inspire keep going kevin just be on we dont care about the place which do u come. U have already won the rest i think reslect is more important than the title
He actually is huge. He and I are about the same height and he was 240 ripped at the Olympia. I walk around at an even 200 and some people consider me pretty big. He just didnt look so huge because he was standing next to silver back gorillas that weekend.
I come back to this video often. I've seen it the first day you posted and still coming back to it. It's in my top 5 bodybuilding videos ever. Everything is perfect, the dialog, the song, the scenes, Kevin's progress at his age, your editing, everything is spot on! Thanks brother, keep it real!
At 4:06 when the music picks up and the video goes to prime Levrone in the 90's I get chills every single time. Fantastic video. What a physique he had in his day,
Isso sim brother, é exemplo de garra, força, superação! Quando o camarada é novo, ou está ali na meia idade e reclama por doer, porque é difícil, ele não imagina que depois dos 40 é muito pior e que a maioria desiste por não ter espírito de guerreiro, de vencedor. Esse cara, KEVIN LEVRONE é o que chamamos de exemplo, de guerreiro. Na minha opinião, ele e o Arnold tem o mesmo espírito. Só a morte faz pessoas assim pararem de acreditar em sí próprias. Mesmo sabendo que ele não ganhará o olympia, eu o respeito muito. Pra mim ele é um dos melhores que já subiram naquele palco. Deus seja louvado cara, me emociono em saber que mesmo nas dificuldades da vida, quando achamos que tudo está perdido e o mundo conspira a nosso favor, onde há esperança, sempre haverá chance de vencer e lutar.
I remember watching this video over and over again during my 24 week long diet and finally meeting Kevin in person midway through it. I lost 20 kgs and finally achieved a 6 pack after being the fat kid for my whole entire life.
I am 23 never had a six pack in my life, this year I decided to change my diet, and train as hard as I can everyday, so I can for once in my life look in the mirror and be proud of what I achieved, I was weighting 76.6 KG and now I am weighting 70KG which just motivated me to continue to work harder and keep pushing cuz nothing is impossible
Kevin is the reason why I train till this day. He alweys been my first inspiration to BB. This vid means a lot to me and every time I see Makavelis new vids just fills my heart with inspiration and happiness thank you brother for all your free Motivational vids. They change my life 2 1/2 years ago.from a worthless drug addict to now someone healthy free of drugs and eager to keep moving forward in the Body Building sport. BB change my life. Thank you Makaveli for your great vids as well as Kevin Levrone I admire u both God Bless🔥💥💪🏽👺💪🏽💥🔥
Who gives a fuck that he didnt won the O? he still more MrO than any guy in that stage, doing this in 6 months and at his age, with his injuries.. this guy deserves a non-wordly respect (sorry for my english tho :D )
So great to see all the love and respect for Kevin.That big guy at the end almoust in tears.... It touched me. Much respect and love for my bro Makaveli. Once again great video man!!!
And yet again... just when I thought you couldn't beat Kai greene's video, you just did this... I'm just speechless, you are the best at this! Keep going my brother, and thank you for these diamonds
Still having mixed emotions after seeing this...both tears and goosebumps 🔥❤️ Kevin Levrone showed the world that a comeback at an age of 52 is possible with his level of dedication...much respect for him and also for Makaveli Motivation for bringing up this video❤️❤️❤️
this man is my hero.. I grew up and built my life off his motivation. thank you bro. you don't know how many struggles you got me threw. this is not bodybuilding....... this is life
Nah, he looked absolutely incredible and amazing but at his age, there’s anomaly’s and then there are facts. The fact is, his legs would never have competed against the other tops. Will always love his 90’s videos and competitions though, mad respect
RESPECT ! I was little dissapointed , but days after the show i watched the videos in his channel , facebook , etc. And then i found out that the whole time he didnt tell anyone that he had knee problem , he tore chest , and he kept going no matter what , what an inspiration this man is !
about 2 years later and i still watch this amazing video for the ultimate pick me up! I love Kevin Levrone as my favorite bodybuilder of all time! I would really like to work out with him let alone meet him in person! 💪😠💪 Shaboommmm!
Indeed he almost did seem to hold back some tears. That shows a ton of respect for Kevin and his personal journey of pure heart and class. Two amazing bodybuilders right there. Awesome gents, both of them.
Kevin made history . He inspires and deserves respect. Sometimes we need to hear guys like Kevin to be more proud of everything we did and what we'll do. Maka, less than 1k bro. xD
Don't go away Kevin the sport needs you! Knowing u tore your pec and had those knee issues and still got on stage for us blows me away! Best ever man and like Marcus said "EVERYBODIES FAVORITE"!!!!!!
I still come back to watch this video. 38 years old and I’m watching guys my age get in worse and worse shape. Kevin inspires me to still keep going on the iron and diet and train
If I was. Kevin I would’ve came on in 2017 Mr Olympia to give myself more time to really beat the odds of winning that Olympia or be in the close margin of the top competitors..
For those who keep criticizing Kevin, specially about his legs. First he suffered a torn upper pec just a few months before the Olympia. Somehow he showed up with a well built chest anyways. Also he suffered the entire preparation period with knee issues that kept him from squatting. Anyone who has done some weight training knows that if you want to build mass on your legs you have got to squat, there is no substitute. He could have pulled out of the olympia, sited injury as the cause. Instead he pulled through, pushed as hard as his body would let him and showed up on stage bigger then most men could ever hope to get. Last I heard he has been receiving treatment for his bad knee and has had a great recovery. Things are pointing to a full recovery which will allow him to train his legs like he used to. If so i would not be surprised if he showed up again next year.
Mr. Levrone, you are a true inspiration inside and outside of the gym! You have given me that that "extra oomph" that I need to move forward in life: being a good father, hard-worker, bodybuilder and so much more...All I want to say and give you is a "Heartfelt Thank You!" Sep 2016
By far my favorite video you made @Makaveli. Always a great job. Keep it up. The blessings will fall upon you for motivating so many people like my self. Again great fucking job. Your content is inspiring.
For all those criticising Kevin's decision to comeback at 52, questioning what was the need; Kevin answered it in an interview with Shawn Ray. It was eating him mentally, he felt he was not done, he felt he had to go on stage one last time, like rocky ,one more round. It was more of a personal goal than trying to promote his brand or winning titles. He did it to calm down his inner soul which felt that he had to compete, he still had it in him. And now he has made peace with it. If he hadn't done it and listened to everybody else advising him not to come back, he would've spent rest of his life in regret thinking what if I had tried. Atleast now he knows what he thought he could do was not practically possible but he gave it his all and now his mind is at peace
Kevin is the only bodybuilder to do a comeback after so many years, it would be cool if others did this, I think Jay ctuler who has stay in phenomenal shape even after retiring could also make a comeback
Man this is amazing. I started following Kevin right when he started working out again. To see the transformation and the drive he had was inspiring. Thanks Kevin!
Man it made me almost cry.
He is a Legend.
goosebumbs everywhere :)
same, motivation for life
Bahnoi Ji this video hit that soft spot! I felt very emotional and happy at the same time! Kevin Levrone is my favorite bb of all time! KL #1
Same here! My eyes welled up with tears!
chokes me up every time ahahah!
This wasn't about winning or losing it was about a guy who set out to acomplish something. When many doubted he would even get on stage he seen the goal through to the end and proved to us all that you can push hard and achieve great things if your driven, are willing to work hard and sacrifice things. Levrone didn't get the Sandow but I couldn't give a shit that wasn't the point if you thought it was you missed something......
amen!!! Kevin Levrone did something amazing and I'm beyond inspired.
Exactly, and if it wasn't for the injuries he would have done even better.
yes a real champion
It was about the DOLLAR.
I'm inspired too.
Kevin Levrones biggest most powerful muscle is his heart.. What an absolute legend!
Heart is not a muscle 😅

I stand by my initial answer & which you repeated ‘Myocardium is the name of the muscle of the heart’ i.e. involuntary, striated muscle which constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart’
I am chilled, but thank you for asking.
i would agree but those shoulders tho
Makaveli just put some serious respect on Kevin.
and another PROPAAAAAAAA LEEEEEEE!
put some serious english in your life. You need it
Brane Dubrava true. ✌️️
Marcus Ruhl, what a legend and a gentle giant. :) One of the nicest guys!
Markus Ruhl was indeed the mass monster to end all mass monsters. Even freakier than Big Ramy, but Ruhl was such a gentle giant at heart.
Was he the one interviewing
Yeah man !
🇩🇪!
Ruhl and Lee Priest always stand out to me in the era they were near the top. Oddly neither of them retired and got small. Lee Priest is a genetic freak. Genetically gifted in so many ways and short-changed in others. Markus.............was the mass monster among mass monsters. Ramy is not there, his legs are to long for his height.

Being 50+ and able to achieve such physique bring tears to my eyes.
lmao says the skinny bitch! Nice hairline bro
albozzzzzzzzzzz :)
Hater's gonna hate! Levrone looked amazing for 52 years of age! better than guys half his age. watching Levrone's vids is the reason I started working out again over 3 years ago and still going! natty of cause. 20 inch arms baby Shaboommmm! 💪😠💪
Take roids...and set a mindset...u will surely look like him though
He didn't achieve it his legs were not there
Levrone, for you to come back after 20 YEARS...you have more balls than EVERY GUY on that stage .
THANKS MAN.
He is already Mr Olympia in my heart :)
This video is a treat for all the Kevin levrone fans in the world!
love him bro
He inspires so fucking much
Mad respect to this man .. Legend
true legend, huge respect

no matter what , he stays kevin levrone ! , a LEGEND !
I stopped watching bodybuilding motivation videos a long time ago but this is fucking beautiful. Fucking beautiful.
A real inspiration for all of us i bet a million dollars nobody from Mr.Olympia 2016 will get that shape and size at 52 and make a come back like he did that is what you call a Beast.
Much respect and love for Kevin MY MAN!
I agree, most will be dead, on dialysis or crippled, like most (not all) of Kevin's old competitors
Yep all dead before 50 they dont know how to build with guts and gritt like kevin only gear they dont have the hart off warriors just gym rats
This video just gave me the chills and made me shed a tear, no joke. Thank you so much for making this video! Kevin will forever go down as one of the best bodybuilders of all time!
who in the fucking right mind dislikes this video?
Jealous trolls!
Levrone is the man, the myth, the LEGEND!
Phil Heath
People who think steroid doesnt make you a winner
Phil and dexter
People who realise how ridiculus ammount of steroids this guy injected.
Kevin should get an respect full honored award for his courage to come back and inspire millions and millions of people around the world i think this guy is sent by a god living his lyf for a purpase to inspire keep going kevin just be on we dont care about the place which do u come.

This is a winner in my eyes.
Marcus Ruhl is a fucking legend too
I was waiting for this...Thank you MAKAVELI!
damn "the Brick House" aka Marcus Ruhl almost shed a tear for Levrone
kevin is a true warrior and he was allways my favorite bodybuilder. thank you for that awesome video makaveli I really love it
I remember watching this video over and over again during my 24 week long diet and finally meeting Kevin in person midway through it. I lost 20 kgs and finally achieved a 6 pack after being the fat kid for my whole entire life.
Respect brother..i ikinda try to do the same right now..
Rocky Balboa go for it. Everything is possible
I am 23 never had a six pack in my life, this year I decided to change my diet, and train as hard as I can everyday, so I can for once in my life look in the mirror and be proud of what I achieved, I was weighting 76.6 KG and now I am weighting 70KG which just motivated me to continue to work harder and keep pushing cuz nothing is impossible
Interviewer: "I'm the elephant"
Kevin: "yeah..."
the "interviewer" is the ex big rammy and was actually a lot bigger than ramy. Markus Ruhl
Oh shit you're right!!! I used to watch videos of Markus in the gym smoking, farting, and burping he was hilarious and a damn big mofo!!
Tats Markus ruhl broo biggest bodybuilder ever
The interviewer seems a cool dude
Thats marcus ruhl man

Kevin Levrone will always have the best Physique no matter what. Awesome video btw!
Kevin is my icon and always will be, he's someone that i look up to and hopefully one day i will have a chance to meet this amazing person
Who gives a fuck that he didnt won the O?
he still more MrO than any guy in that stage, doing this in 6 months and at his age, with his injuries..
this guy deserves a non-wordly respect
(sorry for my english tho :D )
If you analyze it.....Phil Heath is basically Levrone 2.0 They are so similar...heath is just bigger with better forearms
@@apetogetherstrong4243 actually kevin is bigger than heath..He used to be 260-270 lbs..That 2016 physique was only 90% of what he used to be
Not sure if anyone has ever watched this video more than I have. Simply amazing.
Me
So great to see all the love and respect for Kevin.That big guy at the end almoust in tears....
It touched me. Much respect and love for my bro Makaveli.
Once again great video man!!!
That big guy is also one of the biggest and best bodybuilders ever, Marcus Ruhl.
Oh yeah now i recognize him. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼
It touched you......? Ha ha haaaaaaaaa!!!
One who has loved bodybuilding and faced various circumstances of it including injuries will always admire and respect Kevin.
His genetics are impeccable! His work ethic is exceptional! He is Kevin Levrone!
One of best makaveli videos ever made . I frequently visit this video for motivation ❤️
respect respect n respect.all time greatest.shhhh....booom😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
Markus Ruhl is the man... feelings as big as his muscles
And yet again... just when I thought you couldn't beat Kai greene's video, you just did this... I'm just speechless, you are the best at this! Keep going my brother, and thank you for these diamonds
Nothing but respect for this man
This was sick man. Such an honor to see this man on stage.
PROPAAAAAH! This video is absolutely saluted!
shut the fuck up luimarco fanboy.
PROPAAAAAHH hate :D
ya that phrase caused me to stop watching lui.
Absoluuuuutely SALUTED!!
Kevin brother you looked amazing.. Thanks for showing us power of mind.
Still having mixed emotions after seeing this...both tears and goosebumps 🔥❤️
Kevin Levrone showed the world that a comeback at an age of 52 is possible with his level of dedication...much respect for him and also for Makaveli Motivation for bringing up this video❤️❤️❤️
Kevin Levrone the best of the best.
this man is my hero.. I grew up and built my life off his motivation. thank you bro. you don't know how many struggles you got me threw. this is not bodybuilding....... this is life
The mental strength it takes to achieve what he has done is amazing, steroids or not i have the utmost respect for this guy
Levrone said he is going to keep training for another 7-8 months and if his legs come back like they used to he will step on stage again
He should get hyaluronic acid injections like every 2 months.
well... try it.
source ?
I wished Kevin would continue the training for 2 years and then he could easily be abled to come at top 3
Nah, he looked absolutely incredible and amazing but at his age, there’s anomaly’s and then there are facts. The fact is, his legs would never have competed against the other tops. Will always love his 90’s videos and competitions though, mad respect
MAKAVELI always consistent and bringing the quality. Absolutely PROPPPAAA! :P
TRUE LEGEND RESPECT HIM!
RESPECT ! I was little dissapointed , but days after the show i watched the videos in his channel , facebook , etc. And then i found out that the whole time he didnt tell anyone that he had knee problem , he tore chest , and he kept going no matter what , what an inspiration this man is !
He has won 24 IFBB pro competitions so 1 Olympia win can't define his greatness. The Uncrowned Mr. Olympia.
Wow what a very powerful message he sends out in this video...Never give up
ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS! 💗
True motivation right there, huge respect for kevin... what a guy!
about 2 years later and i still watch this amazing video for the ultimate pick me up! I love Kevin Levrone as my favorite bodybuilder of all time! I would really like to work out with him let alone meet him in person! 💪😠💪 Shaboommmm!
So happy for Kevin that he made it back on that Stage again!
Kevin is king of bodybuilding 💪👑👑
Markus Ruhl is a true legend.
Indeed he almost did seem to hold back some tears. That shows a ton of respect for Kevin and his personal journey of pure heart and class. Two amazing bodybuilders right there. Awesome gents, both of them.

I love Kevin Levrone, what an inspiration..
Now this is what I call motivation
Big respect ✊
Such a inspiration to me. Dude is amazing.
I still come back to watch this video. 38 years old and I’m watching guys my age get in worse and worse shape. Kevin inspires me to still keep going on the iron and diet and train
Kevin Levrone!!! The Legend!!! I hope his health wouldn't be affected by his comeback!
If I was. Kevin I would’ve came on in 2017 Mr Olympia to give myself more time to really beat the odds of winning that Olympia or be in the close margin of the top competitors..
Kevin is the modern day rocky, a peoples champion. It was nice seeing him on the stage once more from the golden era of bodybuilding.

He didnt place top 10 but he WON the Olympia as far as I'm concerned.
By far my favorite video you made @Makaveli. Always a great job. Keep it up. The blessings will fall upon you for motivating so many people like my self. Again great fucking job. Your content is inspiring.
BIG BIG LEGEND.

respect what you have accomplished Kevin, I am pretty sure that nobody did what you've done, you have overwhelmed your fear.
5:02 "i cry my ass for you"
Most underrated bodybuilder..
No matter what. we finish what we started.EPIC rocky rocky rocky wait what Kevin Kevin kevin
Kevin is the only bodybuilder to do a comeback after so many years, it would be cool if others did this, I think Jay ctuler who has stay in phenomenal shape even after retiring could also make a comeback
I love this guy #legend
Kevin is the most inspirational dudes ever.
personally I rather have Kevin's physic than the other guys they are to big and walk like ducks
Clearly one of the best tributes to this great man!
Just imagine you come back after 13 years in this unbelieveable shape...
i think i'm gonna cry :')
Sheddy Yoe marks ruhl just cried at the end 😢😢😢
Man this is amazing. I started following Kevin right when he started working out again. To see the transformation and the drive he had was inspiring. Thanks Kevin!
Sandow, or no Sandow, the best bodybuilder ever imo
