DAVE - Any PREDICTION for how LEVRONE will do in the VANCOUVER PRO???

[Big Beat]

Dave, now that Levrone has signed up for the Vancouver Pro in July what is you prediction for his chances in the show.

[Joe Pietaro]

Saw this today on IG. It seems as if he will have to qualify for the Olympia this year and I'm sure that Levrone has no problem with that. Hopefully he does and gets another shot in Vegas.

His legs do look bigger in his insta videos.

I predict he will be a lot thicker and more complete in VANCOUVER. He's smart taking his time on this return to the stage. I still don't feel his legs will be a dominant bodypart (like it once was) but I have a good inkling that his upper body will be very impressive. Will he qualify for the Mr Olympia? Unlikely, unless there's a very weak lineup.

What were your basing your predictions he was going to win the O off of?

(This subject reminded me I was curious)

Aaron, I believe it was trust. Levrone said his legs were on par with his upper body.

Ben Pakulski, Brandon Curry, Fred Smalls, Johnnie Jackson and Maxx Charles were 1-5 at the Vancouver Pro last year, and Fouad Abiad and John Delarosa were 1-2 the year before, followed by a steep drop-off. If Levrone manages to stay healthy and train his entire body up to July and guys like Brandon Curry don't show up, I can't see why he wouldn't be able to be competitive.

Curry looks much better since joining the Camel Crew.

Curry looks much better since joining the Camel Crew.

His conditioning is the questionable part

I hope Levrone does well. Albert beckles competed at the top in his 50s, and maybe levrone will be reminiscent of beckles, placing high. His comeback is inspirational and though I don't follow his blog or whatever I get the impression he respects his fans and his comeback isn't all about him.
What I do not understand is people slamming the guy. Don't know about here but on MD some people really knock levrone. for what I don't know. misdirected animosity or something.

[Iceman1981]

Kevin will have to bring up his legs and his BACK. Everyone is forgetting about his back. It was probably the worst at last years Mr. Olympia next to Pakulski.

I'm not slamming Levrone, but he's not Beckles. Albert Beckles competed nearly non-stop from 1965 to 1992 and that's only counting the years noted @ http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?a=Beckles,+Albert

Did he compete in the mid to late fifties as a teen or 20something? O.o



Wishing Levrone all the best, of course.

Albert Beckles.............greatest smile in all of bodybuilding
