I saw Kevin compete at the '92,'93,'94,'95,'96 & 2001 English Grand Prix,met him,humble with all his fans.Also while visiting sister and brother in law(marine corps captain) in Virginia in Jan' '96,we went Kevin's gym.I was gutted he wasn't in that day.So the guy in charge rang him to say a few words,then gave me a blue NPC training Sweatshirt! I wore that sweatshirt for 20 years training until it was just shredded.It gave me superpowers in the gym!!
I swear kevin looks like he hasn't aged at all, looks in his 30's rather than 50's, and has that freshness and healthy look. He deffinetly played it smart going off all the gear off season and only going on cycle during pre contest, one of the rarest specimens of hyper responding for sure.
I fuck with Kevin tough. Dude is real intelligent and is a legend but in reality not enough ppl would tune in cuz his personality isn't interesting, not funny, etc...like ronnie. Legend obviously but these type of guys just aren't made for entertainment/views.
Dame rite what a bodybuilder he was, one of the best bodybuilders of the 90s definitely the best era for bodybuilding by far Kevin is such a humble guy
@@ravsinghrajput2105 kevin was in the back part of his career when ronnie was so dominant ... he came up during Dorians reign... learn your bb history before trying to pass yourself off as some expert
Kevin is my favorite, he speaks the truth and doesn't hold back. His training was as intense as it gets, and I am so glad I got the opportunity to meet him and see him pose
Kevin Levrone had my favorite muscle quality and shape of that time. I don't see that type of muscle fiber on anyone else in recent times. He just hit the eyes so good like no one else.
Did you hear that gentlemen??? Did you f@&ing hear that??? The way Kevin acknowledged Dave speaks volumes. Kevin trusted Dave…Dave is NO bootleg wanna be. He has worked with some of the best and they show gratitude when they talk about Dave. Kool to hear that from someone of the caliber of Kevin Levrone.
Love him addressing the conditioning today. It's definitely noticable. Lol, that sound bite about Dorian will surely be used by the motivation video guys.
KEVIN IS MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME HE SHOULD OF WON THE OLYMPIA ATLEAST TWO TIMES FOR SURE BACK IN THE LATE 90S EARLY 2000S!!! AWESOME HUMAN BEING ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS FOR SURE!!!!
@BigD. Kevin levrone was not lazy. You obviously haven't watched his training videos or payed attention to how hard-core his diet was. You can't be a lazy bodybuilder by eating fish rice and brocollli 6 times a day for 12 weeks and do cardio 2x a day for a contest. As a matter a fact I heard in an interview from Kevin that he would do a leg workout in the morning and then do the same exact leg routine later on that night, and part of that routine was squatting 500lbs barefooted for reps. Gtfo here with black bodybuilders being lazy especially kevin levrone .....u casual. You need to do you your research before you start talking nonsense about stuff u don't know anything about, because you obviously don't know what you are talking about.
I did an amateur bb show in Knoxville around ‘92ish and Kev was the guest poser. I saw him backstage in the pump up room and it was the first time I’d seen a pro bodybuilder…he was humongous! After that I thought well guess I’m never going pro. Lol! I only wish I’d had the wherewithal to go up and talk to him.
I’ll still never understand how a one armed man could beat Levrone. I saw him compete against Dorian multiple times and he was always the more complete bodybuilder
Dave was an awesome bodybuilder and had a ton of heart!!! Which to me is way more admirable that guys like Romy who had talent but eas unwilling to suffer!!
I was in school when Levrone, Cotrell, Ray, Haney, Yates, Lebrada , Demayo , Priest , and the incredible Momo Benz who was so under rated yet would dominate on stage with these guys...... I mean it was impossible to see anything less than killer conditions on all those guys.
Kevin is so respectful a good guy from the golden era one of the greats and still looks great for his age, as for rammy I think the judges are looking for a different physique now sadly he won't win another big contest this was my favourite episode 👍
How didn’t he win the O awesome physique one of the best ever size symmetry shredded im gonna try the fish and lettuce diet sounds brutal ,you two guys are a inspiration 2 legends of the game ,Dorian is king of England 💪🏻
The Ratings for Arnold on the Tonight Show In the 70s became astronomical for the Tonight Show, they would run PA announcements through whole week Johnys guest on Friday is Arnold Swartesnegger. this was also due to Arnolds Funny Humor, that America fell in love with him. His Movies had the best promotion, of the 70s So Due to Johny Carson, and Arnolds quips with Johny Arnold became a household name in the 70s. He was different, good looking, and very Funny and told Funny Stories.
Fish like tilapia, cod is the key to super lean body, is why fish are so lean so you are what digest. Fish is the leanest, best meat source for bodybuilding
Dave and I talked about this, I helped Kevin for the 98 Olympia, Kevin is without a doubt the most genetically gifted bodybuilder. I will back Kevin, he did not whatsoever take anywhere near what they do now. Dave lived in NY and I was only 50 mins from Kevin, Dave asked me do you think Kevin takes more than we suggested, obviously because he was so far away and I saw him 3-4 days a week, I said Dave no way, exactly what you told him or what I suggested. Again, Kevin lifted like a Dinosaur. Kevin started diet at 238 and in a month was up to 272. Freaky.
@Jacob Cameron lololol sure you did. I emailed Dave the other day wishing him well with surgery. Amin Alai and King Kamali all lived in my area in the 90's and we hung around together. Your just an internet troll
@Steve Hill's Intense Training nah man. I've talked to Dave over email too. He responds to anybody and everybody. He said he had no idea who you are. Just someone claiming to know him and Kevin. He said you are straight up a liar bro
Very respectful interview the only thing I would say is don’t make it sound like everyone competing WITH kids must be bad parents. I hear people in the gym saying all the time that people that compete and do it successfully must not have nothing else going on in life. That’s a myth that needs to go away. Piece of shit parents gonna be piece of shit parents even if they don’t know what a gym is yet alone competing
Kev’s 100% right. Today’s guys just don’t have the balls. If Hunter Labrada for instance had the drive of his Dad, he’d do whatever it takes to come in shredded at 245 and win the whole show! He just looks like a larger off-season version of his Dad on stage every year!

I want the Kevin’s secrets to staying young exclusive with Dave
LOL
Not sure what you looking at but he clearly looks like someone in his 50’s
If you ever hear someone talk about how pro bodybuilding will kill you young, just bring up Kevin.
@@justinpaul3110 LOL one guy vs a dump truck full of guys who dropped dead in their 40s
Kevin should start his own pod cast, very articulate humble and cool voice a good singer too.
He had his own series on muscular development and it didn’t get much traction.
Thats cos MD is shite
I fuck with Kevin tough. Dude is real intelligent and is a legend but in reality not enough ppl would tune in cuz his personality isn't interesting, not funny, etc...like ronnie. Legend obviously but these type of guys just aren't made for entertainment/views.
Kevin is probably my favorite bodybuilder. He knows his stuff and he communicates his message so clearly.
I’ve met Kevin twice . He’s a very nice and kind man .
Levrone, one of the best of all time! Humble man
Levrone is such a legend! What a humble and down to earth guy and what an amazing bodybuilder he was for his era! ☺️🙏🏼👌🏼💪🏼
Dame rite what a bodybuilder he was, one of the best bodybuilders of the 90s definitely the best era for bodybuilding by far Kevin is such a humble guy
Kevin is a good talker. I wish he did more stuff like this.
I take it you didn’t watch the Olympia livestream
@@sackychin6267 exactly, he's very incoherent and has what I call a room temperature IQ.
Kevin had everything going, but during his time it was all about who takes the most juice,,, and Ronnie Coleman took the most 🤣😂😁
@@sackychin6267 the olympia that happens once a year?

💪😎🏴☠️
Awesome interview Kev! Love you comments on Arnold and Dorian and the respect you´re giving those guys. You´re one of the very best!
Nice of Kevin to give so much praise in this. Great show
Favorite bodybuilder of all time… Can Kevin put on a training camp? I’d go in a second to learn and be out through the paces!
Levrone's comments on Dorian at 29:50 are the stuff of legend😂
I was staring at my idol Sir KEVIN LEVRONE and I forgot to breath...why does he look so young ?? And so intelligent...
Tremendous respect for Kevin in all he's accomplished in this sport. An icon for overcoming setbacks and finishing the race.

You don’t have to use caps to get your point across man
Agree with everything levrone says . He knows his stuff . Hope he’s back on talking to Dave very soon
Always great to hear from Kevin!!!!
Kevin Levrone - what a class act! Nuff said.
Kevin always a great interview. Would like to see him do a Cutler Cast sometime and go for 1-2 hours with Jay and his manager.
Kevim Levrone - one of the greatest of all time - pleasure to listen to him too
Definitely my favorite bodybuilder and build for bodybuilding.
I’m trying to put together the same look right now.
Dave Always Delivers!!
Me too.
Good luck with that.
Levrone is a freakin LEGEND, that side chest shot is his, not even Ronnie can best that.
I agree. Imo the best physique to ever do it.
@@rdallas81chest was to small … too 5 yes , but his chest makes him bottom 5.
Kevin had always been one of my favorites, he wasn’t to big and obnoxious, he should of won a O before he retired,
2 legends great interview 💪
@Ossidian Ossidian nothing casual about 300 pounds of shredded muscle newbie.
I'd like to see Kevin more, you are great interviewer Dave 💪
When he talks diet and training, I get motivated so much.
He is one of the greatest bodybuilders ever and its a shame he didn't win at least one olympia... class act

Best Rx episode ever Dave.
Always thought Kevin was cocky....nothing could be further from the truth. Seems like a great guy
Man. You don't know kevin. Watched him from 90s up to now. Hes a humble man.
@@rdallas81 I know I don't. That's why I said "thought" lol
Kevin got invited to the set of end of days ! this is my favourite Arnold flick
Kevin is the man from my hometown..And he is a good guy...
I love you guys!! Hardcore bodybuilding at its finest!!❤️🙏
I was always thinking he would win the Olympia but Yates always got the nod. Kevin was amazing, love watching you two doing these interviews
Kevin looked better. Dorian should not have won at least 1 Olympia. Bicep looked off and didn't look good. Kevin should have won 1 or arguably 2 Os.
Kevin needs his own TH-cam station
Uncrowned Mr O amazing Physique
Levrone getting SERVED at the Arnold! 🔥🔥
I did an amateur bb show in Knoxville around ‘92ish and Kev was the guest poser. I saw him backstage in the pump up room and it was the first time I’d seen a pro bodybuilder…he was humongous!

This was a great show Dave.
About time David
14:20.
I almost cried there. Kevin and Dave sharing a bit of Brotien there.
1992 Olympia Kevin was fucking peeled beyond belief . Wished he would have pushed each year to achieve that death face level conditioning again
Kevin always had the death face. Need examples?
I’ll still never understand how a one armed man could beat Levrone. I saw him compete against Dorian multiple times and he was always the more complete bodybuilder
One of the greatest and most profound mystery’s of the world, is how this man never won a Mr Olympia!
Word,right? Levrone,Flex & Shawn Ray. All uncrowded Olympians in my opinion. They're the reasons other guys won the O. Those were the ones to beat.
Kevin is one of the 🐐
Maryland muscle machine....one of the greatest to do it
Dave was an awesome bodybuilder and had a ton of heart!!! Which to me is way more admirable that guys like Romy who had talent but eas unwilling to suffer!!

Kev! bro looks like he's getting younger. God bless ya man..👍🏽
Kevin is so respectful a good guy from the golden era one of the greats and still looks great for his age, as for rammy I think the judges are looking for a different physique now sadly he won't win another big contest this was my favourite episode 👍
You definitely should have a reunion with these golden era guys before they reach the pearly gates. 🎉
Kept it simple awesome advice Kevin levrone 🙏🏿🙏🏿
That dude said fish &
Lettuce. They don’t make em like this anymore SHEESHHH🤣🤣🤣💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Kevin needs to be on a few times a year if possible. He's always great!
Good Ol Days 90s
Living legend good bless you both ♥️
My all time favorite. Kevin Levrone 💪
Super good stuff tanks 🙏🍀
I saw Kevin guest pose in Australia in the 90's.He looked awsome back then.
Great episode
THE LEGEND 👑
How didn’t he win the O awesome physique one of the best ever size symmetry shredded im gonna try the fish and lettuce diet sounds brutal ,you two guys are a inspiration 2 legends of the game ,Dorian is king of England 💪🏻

True legend
Not gonna lie, I almost teared up a couple times during this interview
Kevin the Legend.
me?
Always felt Kevin had such a perfect body, something to aim for/towards. But I'll always be a Yates fan as I'm from the UK.
can you ask kevin about the bulking? what did he eat to gain mass?
Dorian is another one who was known for size, but did everything to come in peeled.
Fish like tilapia, cod is the key to super lean body, is why fish are so lean so you are what digest. Fish is the leanest, best meat source for bodybuilding
Best guest kevin!!!!!
Levrone at his best would win Olympia today💪💪💪
Great interview. Kevin's physique is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Why would you put that photo up of Kevin at the 6 minute mark?? 😂😂😂😂
I remember back then he was the up and coming = Great
Plus he helped Ronny
LOL Dave 6:00 That picture of Kevin is photoshopped...are you for real?🤣
Honestly best genetics in history he grew into the show thats unheared of
Chris Aceto is the man!! He helped alot of guys to accomplish their best!!!

Kevin Levrone looks great man 👍 hasn't aged at all since his hey day 👍
best of the best still always my fav !
Shabooom Kevin Levrone
Big fan of you from Norway
22:10 lol gotta luv Dave that's great
Love it when they talk about Yates 😂
Can anyone explain why Nick's abs are coming apart..? Similar to Dallas..
I’d say it’s just his genetics and when he’s not flexing it looks even more separated
Very respectful interview the only thing I would say is don’t make it sound like everyone competing WITH kids must be bad parents.

Couch call? Boy that statement is loaded
I put Kevin 99 British Grand Prix over any physique besides Phil Ronnie and flex. Simply amazing
I swear I think I read about him in a magazine and he was the singer in a hardcore band. Does anyone know if this is true?
He was a singer in a band called full blown
Bodybuilders are some of the most level headed athletes.
The great Levroninator and Papa pump it Palumbo.
Holy cow, bodybuilders in the Golden Era were so depleted they needed oxygen backstage.
He was eating 4800 kcal on his contest prep diet? Is that possible?
If I ate that many calories I’d be needing to do a lot of cardio to stay lean. I’m sure the gh helps but I have yet to try it so just guessing
Theres no secret, the secret lies within you
