It’s true that Kevin is one the best bodybuilders of all-time – has always placed in the top-6 at the Olympia and was 4-times second. He has exhibited both incredible muscularity and outstanding symmetry.
In this era in which many are decrying the huge size and thickness of the top pro bodybuilders, the aesthetic quality of his physique is what many wishes could become the standard judges used to crown the top champions in the sport.
Levrone’s accomplishments do not stem from his physique alone – they come from his will, his persona, as a bodybuilder who tells it like it is.
In a recent interview with Muscular Development, Levrone shares his thoughts on the passing of the 26-years-old Dallas McCarver, and if his fate could have been avoided, he also advises the young bodybuilders to take care of their health.
Do you agree with Kevin Levrone and his opinion on Dallas McCarver?
Drug use on any level
Nullifies the beauty of
Bodybuilding.
The future lies in going back to what vince gironde advocated.
He hated steroids and the world is waking up
To the ludicrous state of the sport as it is today.
Basically the most successful bodybuilders are the ones with minimal side effects and good genetics. change either one of those two and you won’t make it, it’s hard to compete due to organ failure and it’s hard to compete without good genetics and you definitely can’t compete with major Side effects
The same can be said of any sport then … if it were not F1 racing then Alain Prost would still be alive and if ir were not for skydiving and if it were not for football or free diving or any other dangerous sport. It is not the sport that kills it is the abuser of the sport that is to blame for the problems.
Alsin prost it not dead
My bad … I meant Ayrton Senna. Apologies

I don’t think the more you abuse drugs the better a bodybuilder you will become. This is the mantra of all the interviews I’ve seen with the legends through time. Don’t get me wrong. To be a profesional BB today you have to “enhance” yourself. That’s a given, but it’s not the drugs which makes you become a champion. It’s everything else.
B.s. steroids come with huge health risks , if those guys didnt think they would get something major out of them , they wouldnt use them.
Take away the gear from any of the top 5 and a year or so later they wouldnt even place top 16.
Drugs put 100lbs on this kid. He’d be huge by any other standard without those 100 lbs.
Rob Bahret Jr. That’s true, but that’s not what he’s saying. He’s just saying that more isn’t always better, nor will it help someone who just doesn’t have the genetics, knowledge, or discipline to be one of the best in the world
He choked on his food and died, has nothing to do with body building and not chewing his food befor swallowing are you all that fucking stupid
you are aware that if you take the wrong amount of insulin your body will go into shock right? now what do you think would happen if your mouth is full of food….. Know what you’re talking about before commenting
Are you that fucking stupid? Like seriously he choked on food it was by no means drug related if u still want to argue please go promptly kill your family and then yourself so your blood line ends with you
Feeling the need to stuff down twice or more the maintenance level of calories is not good. In the end the kid just grew too fast.
He ate to fast
He had respiratory issues already, it’s possible that his esophagus and trachea were constricted by his size.
U have zero clue of what really happened sorry to burst ur bubble.
Chris Goncalves thank u chris. The stupidity online is insane
He choked on food end of story
By assuming its drug related because of his size is fucking ignorance there was no proof drugs had anything to do with it official story is choked on food end of fucking story why speculate and be a fucking idiot u think u can do a better job than medical professionals because ooo I herd this on the internet once
Andrew Laurenzi you’re a MORON. 1st for telling another person to kill themselves over a fb discussion. 2nd, if u think a 300 pound bodybuilder who eats 7x a day for a living, suddenly died directly from choking, then you’re dumber than u look. Everyone would be dying then from choking. This guy was an animal, he knows what he’s eating and knows how to chew his food. It’s not like he’s in a restaurant and runs into a bone or has an allergic reaction to something and chokes. He’s preparing his own food. Did u ever think it’s possible… Read more »
Andrew Laurenzi and why do u have pics of u holding a gun in your room? Do u have any clue how strange that is???? It’s one thing if ur at a range actually shooting something but to just say to ur friend, “hey, take this pic of me holding my gun and I’ll post it on fb so I look tough”. Pfff. Plsssssss. U are the last person that should own a gun, especially after seeing ur dumb comments.
Andrew I’m an EMT and I work at a hospital. You clearly have no idea wtf you’re talking about. Name calling and acting like a child is not a way to present yourself Dallas had breathing problems at his height. Look at his last interviews. He clearly couldn’t catch his breath when he SPOKE. Not to mention he passed out at the Arnold. His blood pressure was beyond the normal threshold. It was sky high. You think he could have died just by choking. The majority of people that have food lodged get it out if they fuss enough. Very… Read more »
This sport is a complete joke, for one there is too much reliance on acute chemicals; I can remember in the late 1970’s when ABC would televise Mr. Universe, then in the 1980’s ESPN would show The NPC Nationals and Mr. Olympia, and in the late 1980’s Ms. Olympia Cory Everson had her own show as did Shawn Ray, and Mr. Olympia Lee Haney. Today ESPN will show skate boarding, snow boarding, sky diving, dart throwing, and professional poker games in Law Vegas; and the reason for this is because todays bodybuilders are chemical junkies, and they will lie right… Read more »

I thought they said he choked to death on some food? How does bodybuilding have anything to do with that, lol. A power lifter at the gym here did that several years ago as well. Guess we should all just stop eating. Lol
no…he took insuline went into severe hypoglycemia started eating in desperation to raise it but didnt succed…also from insuline andcrepeated hypoglicemia you get very narrow throat
I thought he choked on food? What’s that got to do with steroids or bodybuilding?
I thought he died from chocking on chicken?
Preston Broom what do you think?
Como lo predijeron los culturistas de los 90 , en el futuro habrá mas muertes por el uso de estas drogas en personas a la edad de los 40’s 50’s ya que abusaran de estas sustancias en su adolescencia y juventud, Descansen en paz gigantes hierro ,Dallas, Rich, Antonio Osta, Sandro Hoffer, Matarazzo, etc. Etc. Aun así y yo lo se que amaron su deporte hasta dejar su alma por él!
Didn’t Levrone the phoney haul his old ass back up stage last year??? Ok I’m sure did that eating 7 meals a day with protein shakes and protein powder!
Very sad what bodybuilding has become.
