180 pounds to Mr Olympia in 18 weeks
Tonight on www.Probodybuildingweekly.com, Levrone made it clear that he is considering aother run at the Mr Olympia. He explained that during his competitve years, he would regularly drop to 180 in the offseason, the blow up to 240 to 260 for the show, in about 3 months.
I guess we can chalk this up to good genetics and good gear. Levrone once admitted that precontest, his fridge only contained 3 things: Protein powder, Alfalfa, and, well, you know that magic third ingredient ;)
While it's unlikely Kevin will compete at the 2007 Mr Olympia due to movie work, the thought of a fresh Kevin returning in 2008 is an intriguing one!

Local bowlers are using steroids now!
SAULT STE. MARIE - It was just a matter of time before the nationwide steroid scandal hit home for Sault Ste. Marie residents, but most people probably thought it would be a football issue.
As it turns out steroids are all over the alleys - the bowling alleys, that is.
A state record number of 300 games at the DonDee Lanes over the past few years has apparently grabbed the attention of bowling's governing body, the United States Bowling Congress (USBC).
“Bowling a 300 game is a very difficult feat and it's not something that should be happening every single year,” said USBC representative Doug Donaldson. “The number of perfect games being rolled in that alley certainly demands a certain amount of attention.”
The attention it got though was not the kind the DonDee was hoping for. A small task force from the USBC showed up on one of the alley's many league nights recently and demanded that a number of bowlers take a drug test using the usually reliable urine sample.
“It was embarrassing,” said one bowler from the Big Ballers team who agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity. “One minute you're drinking a beer and knocking down pins, and the next minute, you're peeing in a cup with a guy in a $500 dollar suit standing six inches away.”
When the dust settled, over 50 bowlers had been subjected to the cup and the results were startling.
Just over half of those tested showed positive for steroids, including a dozen bowlers that rolled perfect games on record at the DonDee.
No names have been released by the USBC, so which perfect games are bogus is anybody's guess.
One roller, who simply referred to himself as “Bob,” said that the effect that steroids has on a bowler can be profound.
“It can make all the difference in the world,” he said. “Your wrists are stronger and you can generate a lot more spin on the ball. You can also bowl longer without feeling fatigued, and that makes a huge difference when you're facing that final frame with a chance for 300. Instead of feeling tired, you're almost as fresh as you were in the first frame.”

The 225-pound rep Bench Press... can you own QB Brady Quinn?
So it got me thinking. Can I bench more than Brady Quinn? Can you?
He's a world class athlete who has lived in the weight room his senior year... I expected more than just 24 reps, wouldn't you?
I dunno... share your thought. Can you do more than 24 reps with 225 pounds, and shouldn't an NFL QB be stronger than that?
