Kevin Levrone

Early life

Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland by an Italian-American father and an African American mother, he lost both parents to cancer at a young age.^[3] Levrone was born on July 16, although the year is contested (1964, 1965, 1966 and 1968 have all been cited), one of six siblings. He first got into the gym when seeing his cousin come home from the military. After seeing the size and condition of his cousin, Kevin says that is what made him more serious about working out and bodybuilding in general.^[4]

Training

Levrone began his professional IFBB career in 1991 after finishing first in the NPC Finals. After the 1992 Olympia in February 1993, Kevin completely tore his major and minor pectorals while bench pressing 600 pounds, and he needed surgery to reattach them.^{[citation needed]} At that time everyone thought that Levrone's career was over.^{[citation needed]} He had two surgeries, the first one lasted 8 hours. While he was healing from his first surgery he got an infection and he needed a second surgery.^{[citation needed]}

Levrone has been in more than 13 Mr. Olympia competitions, including the 2016 Mr. Olympia by special invite. Despite placing a number of times, Kevin never took first place in a Mr. Olympia competition earning him the nickname, "The Uncrowned King of Mr. Olympia". Levrone has been applauded for his ability to train quickly for competitions, rather than training year-long. This fact is often attributed to the reason why he was able to come back for the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition. Despite not placing in the top 10 for the first time, Levrone got himself in competition-shape in only 5 months. After the 2016 Mr. Olympia competition it came out that he had trained despite injuries to his pectorals and knee.^{[citation needed]}

After professional career

Levrone did not officially announce his retirement, he explained this as he never thought about retirement, he decided to do something different, find other challenges.^[5] Since ending his competition career, Levrone enjoys playing other sports like tennis and golf. He has acted in several films and is also a musician. He released an online training platform in early 2016 naming it TeamLevrone.com. In 2015, he released a supplement line called, "Kevin Levrone Signature Series".^[6]

In May 2016 after 13 years of not competing Kevin officially announced he will be coming out of retirement to compete in Mr. Olympia 2016 by special invite. ^[7]
