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,
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!
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.
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?
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.
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

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
@@NotCharAznable indeed. What a performance
The greatest bodybuilder who never won Mr Olympia
Shawn Ray and Flex Wheeler would beg to differ

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.
Kevin makes benching heavy just a walk in the park... crazy strong
Don't know if the comment already excist but... Uncrowned Mr. O!
His time was highly competitive.
Who cares if it's an old vid or new? It's all about Kev man! The legend. Respect him.
Everytime i see this guy, hes always in a positive attitude, good job Kev.
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.
His music choice is phenomenal.
Hell yea man, disturbed and stained. Good music choice. I always listen to them when working out
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
405! Last rep! Inclined! And having a conversation with your spotter to let go of the bar! FML!
Insane 😳
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
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"
Need the song at 1:35
Kevin is strong as hell!

You used to hit 405 on the shoulder press or Kevin?
@@israelduarte1189 Kevin lol
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
Wish Kevin the best of luck!
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 💪
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
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*
this man embody god like genetics.
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.
man, this is inspiring.i can't believe this guy is 52.
+Kid Meoli This was recorded in 2002
+Martin Moks he still looks around the same age
he was 38 years old here
He was bodybuilder and healthy influencer

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
@@michaelhuerter1921bro what ? It's more so that he was against Dorian Yates for years
One of my fav bodybuilders of all times by far. He should have won a couple olympias.
It was great watching Kevin come out tonight during the pre judging to my sacrifice. He's a huge creed fan, as am I.
Levrone has always been strong as hell ...... Crazy strong
He's so humble and likable, I hope he does win. :D
Kevin Levrone a real best, and awesome soundtrack in the gym, really Awesome vid.

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.
Love kevins physique man. Dudes tossing 315-405 like cake
Everyone talk about ronnie Coleman but I love this guy🔥🔥🔥
2024 anyone?
52 years young...fucking amazing
+Mike Diaz Fitness its too bad he was in his 30s here
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.

He trained 12 months per year
@@judah1276 that’s correct but prepped for a show 4 months out I think. Hell it could be 2 I’m getting old my mind is slipping.
I'm so glad I'm only old enough to have had to suffer with a CD player at home and not at the gym.

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.
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?
***** What left you weak all night? Why you dont make a question like human being?
***** Offcourse. Try. Be an example for all the rest.
does that mean that you are risen to a sponsored level ???
Spot on form, old school style baby!!!!!

How’s the gym now? Is it the same
This is the greatest chest and shoulder training i ve ever seen
Damn his technique is perfect! Full range of motion.one of the best physics ever.
405 incline! I said 405 incline!!!! For reps!!! This guy can incline bench more then I can deadlift
Only if he had come in like this he could've smashed the Mr O 2016 lineup
love the disturbed blasting in the background
Simpler times. I wish I could go back and know what I know now.
I thought these gains were from this time around, almost had a panic attack.
+bichillocv just imagine him at 51 throwing around 4 plates on incline jesus christ smh
+francisco D I think there's a video of him now doing 4 plates on bench press
cass7117 Yes looking nothing like this
He's bald currently lol
Juice yes due to roid abuse
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!
That 405 on incline was seriously smooth... Levrone is one of my favorite bodybuilders
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.
probably the most real video of all tme
Yeah "Staind-Outside" sounding in the background at the end!
Great video, hope the guy is winning the show 🙏
Crazy how we could never do it like this again
Best triceps ever!
Seeing that kind explosiveness on the bench press is impressive asf!
Repping 405 for 12 on bench is like repping 810 on deadlift for 6. Hella impressive. Especially with that clean technique.

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 😆
Dude! 405 bench press for 12 reps like if it was a warm up set😩😩😩
to this day i don't think ever seen anyone make 405 on bench look that easy, especially from a body builder holy shit
Anyone else hear the Disturbed in the background? Great band and great album
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.
Nothing like old school
thickness in the bis n tris is just sensational.
The king of Gym
I never seen him this big, best human male body i ever saw
one of my fav bodybuilders
The way he handles 400+ on bench, it's like paper in his hands. Dude was a freak
Kevs the man. Strong af
1 week out? this is insane!
Love how staind is playing in the background
Just wow . His upper body was in prime his back was insane he was so dryer and unbelievable 💓💥💪👍
What a nice guy kevin levrone is
