The man is no BS he's proven in the past that he can get into shape even after extended periods of inactivity. I think this time by doing this he's got something to prove to himself.

Oh man, hearing that Levrone kinda grunt as he reps out that leg press is music to my ears.
Thought i heard all that for the last time on his last dvd before his retirment.
Smile from ear to ear right now.
First Leg Workout:
Levrone Transformation Update – 5/27/09
May 27, 2009...
"I got a good workout in this morning, feeling a lot better. No footage, but I’m going back this afternoon for a leg workout. I’ll get some footage of that so please check back tonight if you want to see it and read full details about the day’s workout and my progress. (This morning I did chest, shoulders, tris, bis and traps.) Also, stay tuned for body measurements later today so we have a benchmark to look at my progress.
4 pounds gained in a few days. Hard to believe just from one workout and upping calories, and getting a 24-hour stomach thing. It’s muscle memory, the calorie jump and a lot of rest. My system was empty when I stepped on the scale this morning so I believe my gain is lean.
Even I’m amazed. As many of you like to point out, I’m something of a “genetic freak.” I will try to take that as a compliment. I prefer the phrase “genetic marvel.” Either way, my genetics don’t do your workouts any good. So here’s something that might:
This morning I had eight egg whites and a cup of oatmeal. I plan on three more meals today, each will be two chicken breasts, two bowls of rice and mixed vegetables. There’s fat in the chicken and rice but it’s minimal. It’s smart to keep things clean and simple at the beginning of a new program to see how your body reacts in a natural state. Then you adjust upward from there, as I’m sure I’ll need to do, and I’ll be telling you about it.
100,000 blog hits in one week. Something big is happening. It was not planned and not sponsored by anybody. This is a pure moment. This is me doing my thing, inspired by you – just you and me and I’m having more fun than I’ve had in years, believe it. Get out to the gym and let’s do this together, and let me know how you’re doing. Just like you, I look forward to seeing how it’s going to turn out.
Again, for footage and details of today’s workouts check back with me tonight.

I love him but fuck he's a tool...
The Levrone shaped arms are starting to show, especially the famous triceps...
Levrone Transformation, Third Workout:
"I measured my biceps at 18 inches. To ME that sounds small, but as you can see I had fun today. More gains are ahead. Are you feelin’ it? Are your workouts better from all this? I couldn’t do this without you guys. I can’t wait to get in the gym tomorrow. Later."
Man his arm a big, , .... funny how is skin is white .. lol.
For someone who hasnt trained in 4 years he's got great size, but he's a shadow of his former self. No doubt in 6 months he'll look completely different though, even without gear.
He just said he hasn't been in the gym or done bicepts in 3yrs...
I"M CALLING BULLSHIT, SORRY!
I'm with C_T on this one... I don't think life outside of bodybuilding has been kind to him, so he's making a "comeback" to make some money. If he is not going to compete then he needs to create some hype or publicity to get any attention. If he has to lie, cheat, deceive or whatever to make a living then so be it I guess, but he's not fooling everyone.
Talking from personal experience the improvements that he is making are possible even after years of no training - muscle does indeed have memory. With determination anyone can build their physique back up in less time than it took to develop originally. Levrone of course is genetically gifted and no matter what his motivations are he's has the capability to acheive the goals set. I say good on him for having a go.
Not directed to anyone in particular here as this seems to be said on a few forums around the world now, but who gives a shit!
So let's say that he has been training and maintaining his size, let's say he is on the "special supplements"...who...gives...a shit!
It's Levrone!
He's back!
Documenting his transformation - one of the most talked about genetics of all time and still one of the most talked about bodybuilders - if not THE MOST talked about bodybuilder...AND HE RETIRED AGES AGO!
Now not even selling his transformation (which would be a dvd i would pay in the $100's for) doing it for free, what ANY TRUE bodybuilding fan has wanted to see, and we bitch and moan that he is lieing? Seriously, who gives a shit, take it in and enjoy something that is going down in history in bodybuilding around the world!!!
Good on him if he is setting himself up to make a buck out of this - we all wanted to see it, here it is - but still some people will have something to pick apart?
This is the biggest thing happening at the moment in bodybuilding!
Depending how far Kevin takes this, I'm not sure if even the Olympia could top this!
Hey i totally agree MO
I just don't like how he's misleeding the public, you can't go from 3yrs of nothing to balls-to-the-wall twice a day training.
Its just giving the wrong impression. Thats all.
But i'm excited to see his transformation, i'll just have to keep the sound off.
Levrone Transformation: Back and bi workout from yesterday.
May 30, 2009...
The workout I did yesterday is posted below in detail.
Back and arms are very sore today – that’s a good sign. Thanks guys for helping me crank out those last two reps.
My energy is down, my body is in healing mode. I feel like sleeping, but I have to fight that impulse because that’ll just make it harder next time.
I’m doing chest, shoulder and tri today – no excuses. I’m upping my calories to feed the muscles and hopefully help with recovery time.
I’ll post the video of today’s workout later tonight. Triceps will be the focus. Somebody on the blog asked if tris are totally recovered from tearing back in ‘03. The answer is yes. And trust me when i say they’re ready for some punishment tonight.
Knowing you’re watching is forcing me to stay focused. Failure is not an option. I feel my body changing, but I also feel my mind changing, adapting to the new stresses I’m putting on my body. I am a peaceful person, but a killer instinct is setting in, and like before, I will channel this instinct into my lifting. I will get big. I will get ripped. I will do it naturally.
Again, check out the back and bi workout below if you’re interested.
- Kevin.

Levrone Transformation - Workout #4, Triceps:
I have just been checking out a few of his videos online and man he is a strong bugger. Can really throw some serious weight around. This threads getting bloody exciting. I think he would be a pretty funny character to meet.
Anyone ever taken a month or 2 off training? what happens when you get back? you still have good strength and you can smash it but if you do you risks days worth of pain and not being able to move.
Im glad the guy is back in the gym he is a great body builder.
But i do say with the weights he is using he wouldn't be in the gym as often as he is if he had 3-4 years off.
The first few weeks apon returning to the gym should be taken easy to just ease into things not through around massive weights like he has been training for several months already prepping.
