What the fuck is the PT making that chick do? Squatting holding the cables? at about 2:25 while he is on the seated row

Hahaha, that's hilarious. I wonder what was going through that PT's mind? Maybe its some trendy new way to weigh her clients... Or maybe their scales were broken and she wanted to exhibit her engineering abilities in order to impress her client.

"Okay... that current weight stack is no match for your body weight, so I think you are heavier than that..." (scribbles it down on her clipboard)

Levrone Transformation, Chest & Tris #4

"I did four sets of twenty because by now my tris were halfway worn out from the chest work. Doing high reps just shocks the muscle and really burns it out. The tris are not a big muscle group – small muscle groups need high volume, high reps, they can take a lot of punishment and recuperate faster.

Truth is I never did that much for triceps, which might surprise you given my triceps. A lot of my triceps development came from working heavy weight on chest and shoulders.

My shoulders were sore from the last workout. Remember, I’m only three weeks in after a long hiatus. The shoulders were still regenerating so I let ‘em alone. Listen to your body, train hard, but also train smart.

I weighed in today at 217. I’m estimating a five pound fat loss due to cardio and a lean diet. This subtracts from my overall weight, but not from the total of added lean muscle, which I calculate at about 16 lbs, right on schedule.

The overall weight puts me behind schedule, but for good reason. I’m trying to get big AND cut. We’ll see what happens, I’m working with my long-time custom nutritional ingredient specialist to get a boost in coming weeks. I look forward to seeing how that shakes out, cause I suspect the gains ahead aren’t going to come quite as easy. I’ll let you know. Didn’t have time to snap the pic today, I will definitely have it up tomorrow.

Levrone Transformation, Week Three Photo

June 15, 2009...

Here’s an “end of week three” picture (bottom) to go along with last night’s video, to give you a sense of what’s going on. It’s outdoor lighting but you can see, a little more mass than last week, a lot more definition. This was a very disciplined week in terms of diet and training. Gains come quickly in the first three weeks when you’ve been out of it for a while. Let’s see what happens in week four.

END OF WEEK ONE:



END OF WEEK TWO:



END OF WEEK THREE:

Thanks for posting MO - really enjoying this!

Not a lot of difference visually from week 2 to 3.... A little leaner, but no obvious size gain... He's definitely a freak though!

Good shit MO.

One of the first dvds i ever watched was one of his. M3 i think it was.

The guy has inspired me ever since.

Epic. I hope he competes, that would be neat.

Levrone Transformation, Leg Workout #3, QUADS

This was a tough workout. Pushing 975 lbs on the leg press. Nonetheless I’m lagging a little behind on legs. I look forward to adding more mass to my lower body in coming weeks. I’ll be posting a pic of legs in a few days.

This transformation may look easy. It’s not. I’m going through a lot of pain. It’s a restless feeling like the muscles can’t relax. I don’t take anything for it, I just want to deal with it.

When I’m in the gym I feel great. You don’t see the hard parts. Sometimes I have trouble getting out of the car, moving around, sleeping. I’m really sore. I have to be tough and stay focused.

The set in this clip may look like I have more in me. But trust me, I’m ripping myself apart as my body continues to adjust. I’m breaking it down and feeling the pain. That’s what it takes to transform. Here’s the full quad workout:

LEG PRESS

705 lbs x 10

795 lbs x 10

885 lbs x 10

975 lbs x 13



HACK SQUATS

345 lbs x 6

435 lbs x 6

525 lbs x 6

615 lbs x 6



LEG EXTENSIONS

160 lbs x 12

170 lbs x 12

180 lbs x 12

200 lbs x 12

A Good Cause
June 17, 2009

Here’s a quick story from my competing days:

"Years ago I had the chance to help a terminally ill child and his family. This boy had a few weeks to live. He was in pain, depressed and unresponsive. Wouldn’t talk, wouldn’t move.

His mother contacted me and asked me to visit. When I got to the hospital, I took my shirt off in the hallway – I was at the peak of my size and definition. I exploded into the room and yelled “muscle man!”

The boy sat up, smiled, and grabbed my arm and felt my muscle. His family cried and hugged me. Helping this child smile and feel good created a precious moment that the family would remember forever. I was blown away by the experience. It sticks out in my mind as one of the best moments of my career.

Again, I have a chance to make a small difference. The visibility of this blog has skyrocketed in recent weeks. Close to 20,000 visits a day. That makes The Levrone Report one of the most visited bodybuilding sites in the world, thanks to all of you. I feel we should use that power to do some good.

Let’s start by putting up a link for a good cause. Since you guys helped make this blog what it is, I invite you to vote for the cause that’s most meaningful to you. Thanks.

– Kevin"
