Father boasts crazy lifting numbers for 17 year old son so Kevin calls him on it
I didn’t watch the video , but I love how in that preview pic for the youtube video you can see the son with his godfuckingdamned hat on backwards seems to be looking at Kevin Levrone in a very frightened way.
father & son definitely came off as douchebags.
I don’t get it… did the kid claim that he could squat 4 sets of 225 x20 with short rest or did he claim he could squat 500?
And he should stop listening to his daddy. No way he’s 4 weeks out.
That vid was just a fail all around for the kid AND his dad. Embarrassing.
Dad: “I’m 51 years old!”
Pfff. He struggled with 135!
The kid has great legs. He’s a wanna-be bodybuilder, so what good does it do for his dad to publicly boast a lie about the kid’s strength?
Kev Lev is the man.
8 minutes in and the old boy is completely blowing out his arsehole by the second set.
Depth was questionable as well.
The son has a jaw like one of the bad guys in Tango & Cash
X2 on no way he’s 4 weeks out. That’s ridiculous. The kid’s lean, but he doesn’t look like he’s necessarily even dieting. I’d venture to say I’m that lean bulking.
X2 on pointing out his claims as well. Big difference between high rep and max one-rep squats, especially across multiple sets. I think the point Levrone wanted to make was that, beyond the claims of big numbers, the kid/father were claiming IFBB potential or whatever, and Levrone wanted to show him what a ‘real’ bodybuilding workout looks like. The kid wants to be a bodybuilder, not a powerlifter, right?
The video did lead me to doubt the 400 for 10 reps claim though. Seems possible but not likely, given the struggles the kid had with 225. But who knows, strength curves have plenty of variation.
also X2 on everything DarkNinjaa says from now on, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a post of yours I didn’t like.

Haha! Thanks. I’m flattered.
Lemme warn you though; I’ve got my days of shit posting. You may not like the stench.
Ehehehe…

Oh, and thanks for this. Levrone’s intro confused me a bit.
lol…“reps are gooood”
Would have been been funnier if Levrone took him up on his offer of squatting in the five hundreds.
I bet that kid was sooooooore after that shit…
I wanted to see the 500…
I don’t give a shit who you are 225 x 80 is hard. When you brag, you need to be able to back that shit up… I here it all the time because my kid play’s football… I have yet to see any of his friends back up their mouths… The perk of a home gym, you can get proof.
“I can squat 225 for 20!”, “Hmmm, that looked more like 12 to me”. “He can bench 315!”, “Why’d you fail at 245, then?” I don’t criticize them. I just hear the excuses and say “OK” I don’t want to take them down a notch or discourage them. Other than fictitious lifting feats, I like the kids a lot.
And when in front of an IFBB legend, STFU, they can do it all better than you.

Even with the variation I would find it hard to believe that someone with a legitimate 500lb squat would struggle with less than half the weight for reps.
The kid and old man are probably high set low rep guys when it comes to big lifts. That would explain why he couldn’t get reps. I do think the kid can hit sets of 500…or working up to 500 over 8 sets of 3 or so
Then finish off legs with other things…
We don’t get the kids split or leg training at all. All we got was levrone taking an ifbb pro workout and having a kid who doesn’t train that way “probably” and forcing him to do it
When the dad said “heavy and hard” I knew he meant lotta sets and a few reps
4 sets of 20 on squats? Who does that??
There’s only one way to become an ifbb pro
4 sets of 20 squats
Lol
Wtf was the point of this?
Should we all do 4x20 squats now or be labeled failures in oursuits?
Was he trying to get that website more hits by mentioning where the work out came from? I think that’s what happened.
Its like those “we are hardcore and you ain’t” ads from mags but now its in video form…complete with leverone pitching supplements in the beginning

Very possible, but damn, the kid must never drop the weight and do a burnout because he had trouble with the first set. Just kind of surprising, but then again I don’t squat 500lbs.
Who the fuck care about that stuff
I get the feel from the dad that he’s never been high on preaching burnings.
Anyway I do now think this was staged and those two were playing along
Smoke and mirrors of bodybuilding

500 is chump weight
That kid isn’t full squatting 225#, so I doubt he can handle 500#.
Him and his father do pussy-ROM on tough exercises, and then go “balls-to-the-wall”(their words…probably) on leg extensions.
