Day One of the Kevin Levrone Transformation:

Started the day with a banana and coffee. Headed to the gym where I weighed in at 206. The plan was chest, shoulders and triceps. It’s been a few years, so i wanted to take it easy. Check out the video of me maxing out on bench.

It felt natural to be lifting, everything fell into place. I got in early so I didn’t have an audience or distractions. Thanks Lucien for spotting.

The workout:

Chest
Flat Bench: 4 sets, (135 lbs., 225 lbs., 275 lbs., 315 lbs.) 6-8 reps, cranked out 4 reps of 315 on last set – not bad.
Incline Bench: 4 sets of 6 (225 lbs.)
Peck-Deck Flies: 4 sets of 8 (180 lbs.) Free Weight Flies: 4 sets of 8 (35-pound dumbells)

(No negatives, I’ve never done negatives – more about this in future blog posts.)

Shoulders
Behind The Neck Press, Smith Machine: (1st set, 135lbs, 8 reps, 2nd-4th set, 185, 8 reps.)
Note: Someone asked on the blog about doing these in front of the neck. Behind the neck is ideal because it works front, mid and rear delts – all three. If your front delts are lacking or disproportionate you can do some sets in front.
Side Lateral Raises: 2 sets at 35lbs, then 8 sets at 40lbs.

Triceps
Push Downs with EZ Bar: 4 sets at 120lbs.

It’s a start. This simple workout was about 25% compared to my competition workouts in terms of weight, intensity and duration. I haven’t done even a set of pushups in 2 or 3 years, so I needed to ease into it. The 315 max at the beginning was probably not my true max, but it showed how, psychologically, my goal was to take it easy.

Afterwards, I had two chicken breasts, two bowls of rice, and oceans of water. No supplements. I’m doing this 100% naturally – no problem.

Looking forward to being sore when I wake up tomorrow morning – I’ll let you know.

It’s a humble beginning. But sufficient proof that…it’s on.

yup been reading it since last week...A guy i know on another board is working with him and updating his workouts....looking forward to this journey....hes doing it clean to see how genetics really work...

Muscle memory will play a huge role in his comeback!

[ironwill]

^^^it always has for mr. levrone....and will again....
Im interested big time in watching this...apparently even has docs on his blog that are going to be testing him...

[4031]

interesting

[Danger]

Awesome, gonna be cool to actually see the real progress not just photos from when he is in top shape like most pros.

[Big D]

nice I cant wait to see the final results

[AlladdinSane]

Slick.

[dainbramaged]

Muscle memory will play a huge role in his comeback!

Makes it much, much easier than to have to get there naturally the first time around.

[champcar99]

Muscle memory will play a huge role in his comeback!

I don't think a "comeback "is going to happen there is no way he's going to be standing on stage at the O or Arnold being natural...NO FACKING WAY...
Muscle memory will play a role forsure but in no way will he even get close to what he was on drugs..

I don't think he'll win the Olympia even he was 'juiced to the max'... on the other hand, I think he can out perform the smaller pros like Ahmed Haidar who steps on stage around 220lbs... Kevin has some crazy genetics and I don't think he will have any trouble coming in around 230-240lbs @ 5'9"...

I guess time will tell!

[Scaffer]

this is going to be great motivation for me!

[kyle]

It will be interesting but how do we really know hes not on any sauce. Not saying he is but it wouldn't surprise me if hes on generous dose of HRT

[ubcpower]

we will never know

[tiramisu]

5 pounds a week as a goal without aas on a 3000 calorie diet for a guy who is already 210 with a decent build.

Mr. Levrone isn't being entirely honest with us but he is obviously someone we can all learn from.

[buildinthaskinnys]

People have a real hard time accepting reality around here and all over. Kevrone will allways be bigger than most people, he lifts naturally 315 lbs! hell, I know of guys that are taking a gram of test a week and barely lift that, and what does he have to gain from cheating or lying? nothing, he isnt even competing, but people always have to find a way to cut people down that are better than they are , sad but true.

And tiramisu cant believe that he grows from 3000 calories a day, ok let me put this into perspective, if you took in 1500 calories from chicken breasts alone you would be eating almost 2 pounds of chicken and getting about 230 grams of protein! 2 pounds of meat is alot of meat in my opinion and I would bet thats more food than 75% of the people on this board are eating, I know its more than what I eat, Im growing on a little over 2000 calories and i weigh 180, I tried eating more and I got fat, amazing eh? eat more than you need or your body cant use and you get fat, something the bodybuilding magazines never told me would happen, I was always told that when you are weight training your body magically needs 3 times more protein than normal.

According to fitday last winter I consumed about 3400 calories a day while doing a starting strength routine plus a fair bit of supplementation. I gainedabout 2 pounds per week. Most of it not muscle of course. I went from about 200 - 20% fat to 249 and god only knows. I am currently 220 @ 13%. At 2900 calories my weight would decrease.

This is fairly simple math. I suggest you log your intake sometime. 2k calories per day @ 180 pounds isn't going to get you very far. What they don't mention is that if you aren't putting on some fat you aren't putting on enough muscle.

[buildinthaskinnys]

Listen I got very fat over the winter, eating between 2700 and 3000 calories a day, I probably went from about 10% to 18% body fat, this of course was when i was working and with that more active, after I got layed off, I countinued eating the same and gained more weight, about a month ago I calculated that I gained about 6 pounds of muscle and 8 pounds of fat during a period of about 2 1/2 months, this is way to much fat of course, so I cut alot of carbs out of my diet,not because Im one of those guys mind you but because that is where alot of my calories were coming from, now Im eating between 1800 and 2200 a day, I went from 190 to 180 in a month and after modifying my training program my strength has started to go up again in this time period, so take it however you want, but im not gonna change it because someone said so or I read it in a magazine, im not going to fix what it isnt broke, Im not working neither so I dont essentially need alot of calories. I have never been a big eater and when I weighed less I ate even less, I was eating about 600-700 calories a day when I weighed 150 sometime less and sometimes a little more, and they were shit calories to, alot of pop and cheetos **** I was even working in a fairly physically demanding job at that time also, but thats my metabolizm for yuh.

The point was not to be critical of you but rather to point out that adding 5 pounds of weight a week on a 210 pound man @ about 10% bodyfat (Mr Levrone) while training to add muscle is going to take in the neighbourhood of 5-6k calories a day. It would then take some kind of superhuman to turn everything into muscle. Can Kevin pull something like this off with a few grams of test, some deca and a handful of dbol a day, plus GH and some insulin while getting a little pudgy for 6-8 weeks? I would guess he could and likely only really go up to about 15% bodyfat

Can he gain 5 pounds a week on 3k calories a day and no anabolics. umm no, it simply doesn't add up.

Agreed 100%. Muscle memory or not, I don't think it's possible to gain 5lbs of muscle per week naturally. I'm 36, and I've been training since I was 16, and in that time I've had a few layoff periods and the thing I noticed is the longer the layoff, the longer it took to get back to where I was before. And the older I got, the worse it was. He's 44 now, and if he's being 100% truthful in what he is planning, I think he will find out that his body is not going to respond the way he remembers.

[RagingRandy]

Here is the simple math. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

His current caloric intake is 1500. He is upping it to 3000. That is a rise of 1500 calories\day. 3500 calories needs to be consumed to add 1 lb. of body weight. Therefore 1500 x 7 \ 3500 = 3. According to this the max gain he will achieve, AAS or not, is 3 lbs.\ week. I am also sure this will not be all muscle even with great genetics.

[Andre]

You guys are underestimating what Levrone will be able to do without the use of gear or AS... I managed to put on 25lbs of lean body mass in 5 months and was 100% clean... Levrone was/is a freak... His current 205lbs is fairly depleted given his low caloric intake and the fact that he used to walk around at close to 300lbs...

Ya know Andre, no offense buddy, but you`re starting to remind me of Bill Phillips when he just couldn`t stop posting pics of himself. You`ve done a fantastic job, but is it really necessary to keep posting them like on a weekly basis? I mean geez...

I am just trying to give an example of what can be down without gear to those that think Levrone is setting out on mission impossible... sorry if you don't like my photos :D

I agree lot`s can be done without gear, some just have stellar genetics. A guy I work with has freaken 22 inch arms and I`m talking low bodyfat and absolutely perfect shape weights 250 lbs and eats twice a day. He might train 2 times a week one week then 4 times the next. Whatever he feels like doing.

Again you photos are very good, I even wish I had the courage to post some of myslef. I`m even to shy to ask someone to photograph me! And I truely commend you on your transformation, just can`t help but think of Bill Phillips who kept publishing pics of himslef. But there is nothing wrong with that, I`m sure it inspires more people than it bothers. All the best Andre.

[RagingRandy]

The point is that the math does not add up. Andre you averaged 5 lbs. a month not a week. It is possible to 5 lbs. a week but not @ 3000 calories\day.

[Andre]

Levrone @ 205lbs is like a boxer who walks around at 175lbs that weighs in a day before a fight at 160lbs, but steps into the ring at 175lbs... His 205lbs is totally depleted and he got his body used to a very low cal diet... I am sure the extra calories will come mostly from carbs so he is adding an 375G's of carbs a day that will make him explode... Levrone will have no trouble hitting 240lbs in a couple of months...

[Ritch]

Does anyone actually think he weighs 206 in that vid? I think he looks more like 180lbs.

[buildinthaskinnys]

You know what I think is a crock? peoples simple math, if I went by the so called simple math idea that you guys are following Id be a big fat ass right now, there are kids at my gym that follow the simple math nutrition program, telling the newbies about all of what they know, 500 calories for this, 2.5 grams per lb for that yadada, then in the meanwhile throw a few sets of bench press in with a 4 in ROM. I wish it was that simple really, that everyone would just have to look at the chart and read, "hmm, ok I want to build 3 pounds of muscle this week, so, according to the chart, Im 196 lbs so I need to take in 240 grams of protein, and 60 grams of fat.........." etc. etc. Do I hink Kevin can put on 5 lbs of muscle a week , why not? he hasent trained for 4 yrs I believe it, for how long will he put that kind of weight on? maybe a month but not much more

If you look back into history, everything has been done before, therefore nothing is new. In 28 days Casey Viator increased his body weight by 45 lbs and lost 17 lbs of fat for a total musclular gain of about 60 lbs with a total of 14 total body workouts, of course total gains might be exaggerated due to the accuracy of the machines used to test it, but hard to deny the results of the photos eh? This an example of muscle memory at its finest.

[Andre]

Brilliant Example!!! It's all about muscle memory...

[kyle]

No matter what anyone says I think that Levrone is full of it. I'm happy for him if he can put on 5lbs a week even juiced to the max this would be an amazing feat. I'm sure that there is gonna be some cash in this stunt for him and there isn't anyone following him around making sure that hes not taking any sauce. At the end of the day nobody will know. I'm sure hes still been working out on and off the past few years or I doubt that he would be able to lift that much. Natural or not I don't care what happens but there is one thing I know and its that people will lie about almost anything especially if theres something in it for them.

I could say I was natural put on 25lbs of mass and loose fat who would know unless they steal my blood and test it.

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.

– Kevin

[ubcpower]

lol 4lbs of lean muscle in 2 days he figures....i could care less whether or not he is being honest or whether he achieves his goal...regardless this will be entertaining!!!

[ironwill]

thanks for keeping us up to date...very cool of you UBC...and appreciated..

[rickyboy36]

Here is the simple math. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

His current caloric intake is 1500. He is upping it to 3000. That is a rise of 1500 calories\day. 3500 calories needs to be consumed to add 1 lb. of body weight. Therefore 1500 x 7 \ 3500 = 3. According to this the max gain he will achieve, AAS or not, is 3 lbs.\ week. I am also sure this will not be all muscle even with great genetics.

Guys,what you need to take into consideration is that muscle is also made up of water..not just calories..Plus,the mathematics do work out.To lose 1 lb of fat you need to burn 3500 calories.To gain 1 lb of muscle you need about 1800 cals for that.It simple:1gram of carbs or protein=4 cals. (so 4 cals times 454grams =1816 calories.454 grams guys is 1lb).Your muscle is made of protein and water and stores carbs.Every carb consumed that changes into glycogen brings with it 2.9 grams of water to your muscle.So with that said he will gain big time in his first few weeks by doing this..alot of it water of course,but considered muscle just the same.

Again,i think for the first few weeks he will put on muscle nicely,but if he is really "natural",this will come to a halt pretty quickly.When will he halt you guys ask????Once his genitic potentiel WITHOUT STEROIDS plateau's.He has already reached this in the past with steroids,and will reach it again quickly with muscle memory.But once he gets there...his strenght will halt and fat will be his only gains he will get.Remember as well that some of the muscle he has now and which he gained on steroids in the past remained on his body.So with that said,ill take a guess and say he will not be able to put on more than 20lbs(naturally)..give or take a couple,without '''starting''' to look like a flat blob.So after that 20 pounds or so is reached..fat will start accumulatiing

[O-Train]

I thought it was fairly widely known that the Casey Viator thing is BS. I really like Levrone as a competitive bodybuilder but for some reason this whole thing just doesn't sit right with me. I'm not as interested as I thought I would be. I liked remembering Levrone the way he was, it seems kinda like an attention grab.

Kinda like the people who say "I would have been so great if I had just tried a little harder." I would have won all those Olympia's if I had taken things a little more seriously. Only now he's way past his prime and he still seems like he has something to prove when he really shouldn't have to prove anything to anybody.

I'm not trying to bash Kevin, the whole thing just seems kinda weird.

[Ritch]

For sure it`s hard to beleive what he`s doing is possible. But on his first day back he did bench 315!

[4031]

For sure it`s hard to beleive what he`s doing is possible. But on his first day back he did bench 315!

lol, guess he really is a genetic marvel or freak

[kyle]

I'm sure he never gave up lifting completly or there is no way hes would bench 315 his first day back. I could see that maybe if he had a very physically demanding job but I'm sure there is alot more going on here than any of us know about. That being said he was an awsome BBer and nobody can every take that away from him.

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.

[z83]

very good tricep

[Scaffer]

I find it funny how he has to remind everyone's, every minutes that he didn't lift in years,kinda to justify the weight is lifting but come on man,you're still lifting heavy!

[JonnyO]

Some of you guys are hilarious. Just have to accuse him of lying and that he is/will be using. Shit this guy would grow into shows putting on weight, not sure how much exactly but in the area of at least 20lbs+. He has no reason to lie.

He's not planning on stepping back on stage and trying to come back the way he looked before as some of you are expecting.

I see his goals quite achievable. This is one of the most blessed genetically gifted guys on the face of the earth we're talking about here and he hasnt touched a weight in 4 years or eaten anything close to how a bodybuilder would in that time. He used to compete 250+ and bench 5 plates a side like it was butter. Drugs my friend cannot do that for ya I'm sorry.

I think it said he was around 208lbs when he began this, add to that some of the supplements available like creatines, etc, powders and a perfect diet as I'm sure he had mastered over the years 20-30lbs will be easy for him.

I know there will always be skeptics but dont go around posting on here about it and hes full of BS. Its for entertainment purposes only so just enjoy it for once.

It is entertaining.Levrone is 44,not 24.Anyhoo,I have some land for sale in Florida.....

Some of you guys are hilarious. Just have to accuse him of lying and that he is/will be using. Shit this guy would grow into shows putting on weight, not sure how much exactly but in the area of at least 20lbs+. He has no reason to lie.

He's not planning on stepping back on stage and trying to come back the way he looked before as some of you are expecting.

I see his goals quite achievable. This is one of the most blessed genetically gifted guys on the face of the earth we're talking about here and he hasnt touched a weight in 4 years or eaten anything close to how a bodybuilder would in that time. He used to compete 250+ and bench 5 plates a side like it was butter. Drugs my friend cannot do that for ya I'm sorry.

I think it said he was around 208lbs when he began this, add to that some of the supplements available like creatines, etc, powders and a perfect diet as I'm sure he had mastered over the years 20-30lbs will be easy for him.

I know there will always be skeptics but dont go around posting on here about it and hes full of BS. Its for entertainment purposes only so just enjoy it for once.


I agree 100 percent, but there are a lot of a buck fifty lb type guys on this site and all others, that take grams of shit upon grams of shit and get nowhere.....So how is it possible a man can do it au naturel????
lolol....
I am stoked to watch Levrone quiet some guys as he always did...

He didn't do it natural the first time, what makes you think he'll do it naturally now? Maybe if he was 25 he could do it but he's 41.

Levrone's an all-time great, but let's be realistic.

[ubcpower]

But hes never said hes going to look like he did back then. Carry the same muscle mass or be as lean. He just set a bodyweight goal, im sure hes being realistic and anticipating looking different than he did in the past.

[Kronis]

I thought he said he was aiming to be in contest shape at 240-245 and that he used to compete at a high of 255.

It's the "contest shape" qualifier that causes me to call bullshit on his natural claims.

[ironwill]

are you on crack...stop yellin at me, or ill put you over my knee ....
lol, i never said he would compete.....nor did he...but watch the changes, then speak up.....Naysayers...
hell im almost 40, and never felt or looked better.....:shock:p

[cog]

Possibly some people feel this is an attack on Levrone or something....nothing of the sort.It's different now,this is new territory for the guy,he's older,and it's not the same as on...he needs to listen to his body and he's already ignoring it...reality will be tough.Sometime in the early forties,things head downhill,slowly at first...genetic marvel or not.

Levrone Transformation, 885 lbs Leg Presses • LevroneReport.com
June 4, 2009


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4jiHOzmdD4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fkevinlevrone%2Ewordpress%2Ecom%2 F&feature=player_embedded

Here’s the whole leg workout. I’m not locking my knees this time, one of you called me out on that with a comment last time. Thanks. I’m listening to you guys so keep posting.



Stay tuned for longer clips. Next week we’re going to step it up with longer scenes, more sets, more instructions.



That’s a lotta weight. 885 lbs on the leg press (including 18 plates + estimated weight of machine) is no small feat. I’m able to do it cause of the hard work I did years ago and the muscle memory. If you work hard, too, you’ll get there. Keep following and we’ll help each other do the impossible.



LEG PRESS



1st set: 12 reps, 8 45lbs plates (4 each side)

2nd set: 12 reps, 10 45lbs plates (5 each side)

3rd set: 12 reps, 12 45lbs plates (6 each side)

4th set: 12 reps, 14 45lbs plates (7 each side)

5th set: 12 reps, 16 45lbs plates (8 each side)

6th set: 12 reps, 18 45lbs plates (9 each side)


LEG EXTENSIONS



1st set: 15 reps, 100lbs

2nd set: 10 reps, 150lbs

3rd set: 12 reps, 200lbs

4th set: 12 reps, 250lbs

5th & 6th set: 15 reps 275lbs



(Note: Increasing weight and reps at the same time might look a little backwards. Keep in mind I’m constantly re-adjusting as I come to terms with where my strength level is.)


LYING LEG CURLS:



4 sets: 10 reps, 150lbs

k, I saw a youtube vid with Kevin in it about a year ago... and I'd say from the pics I saw, he was about 180... skinny fat, kinda man boobies, and just looked terrible... I think somebody on here actually posted the link.

The dude definitely did something to get back into the shape he's in... Which I don't think even at his starting point, was all that bad.

Regardless... I think this is pretty cool

11lb gain in 2 weeks..pure muscle by the looks of it is definitely not achievable naturally, no matter how great his genetics and his muscle-memory.

I wonder what kind of cycle he's running? ..and why lie about it? I hope he doesn't start pushing some useless supplements.

FLAT BENCH DUMBELL PRESS

1st set: 50 lbs, 8 reps

2nd set: 70 lbs, 8 reps

3rd set: 90 lbs, 8 reps

4th set: 95 lbs, 8 reps

INCLINE DUMBELL PRESS

1st set: 65 lbs, 8 reps

2nd set: 70 lbs, 8 reps

3rd set: 70 lbs, 8 reps

4th set: 80 lbs, 8 reps

DUMBELL FLIES

1st set: 40 lbs, 8 reps

2nd set: 40 lbs, 8 reps

3rd set: 50 lbs, 6 reps

4th set: 50 lbs, 6 reps

PECK DECK FLIES

1st set: 150 lbs, 8 reps

2nd set: 165 lbs, 8 reps

3rd set: 170 lbs, 8 reps

4th set: 150 lbs, 13 reps

(High reps on the last set, trying to shock the muscle on my last chest exercise, last set.)

TRICEPS PUSHDOWNS WITH EZ CURL BAR

1st set: 80 lbs, 20 reps

2nd set: 80 lbs, 20 reps

3rd set: 80 lbs, 20 reps

4th set: 80 lbs, 20 reps

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.

Weight: 217 lbs
Arm: 19 inches

I gained 16 lbs of muscle, but I lost 5 lbs of fat cause of cardio and lean diet. That puts me on schedule for adding 5 lbs of lean muscle a week, but behind schedule for overall weight. We’ll see what happens in coming weeks.

"The only thing I’m starting to take this week that wouldn’t be considered food is a blend of things mixed together by my nutritionist and long-time friend from back in the day. I hear what you’re asking but I’m not going to tell you the exact ingredients yet. One, I still have to see if it works. Two, if it works I may want to sell it, and the ingredients will be listed at that time, and not before."

Levrone Transformation, End Of Week Four • LevroneReport.com
June 20, 2009
Check out the photo from end of week four. That’s what’s up, baby. Great week. I had a little help from some natural ingredients, and a lot of help from you guys. Those last two workouts were the most productive and most enjoyable, and I can’t wait to get back in the gym. The focus next week is legs, every other day, I’m going to shock the muscles and make ‘em respond.

I’m training hard, eating right, getting rest and I’m on the right supplement – a mixture of things that worked in my past, combined with some cutting-edge new ingredients that I’ve been curious about. I needed to know exactly what I was getting, and I needed it to just plain WORK. Mission accomplished. This week was full of long, focused, explosive workouts, minimal muscle burn and one of the most incredible pumps I can remember. All natural, baby.

Some of you are attacking bigger weights after seeing what I’ve been able to accomplish. If I’m helping you do more, you gotta know the feeling’s mutual. I’m addicted to doing this blog, so keep posting. If you see a question I’ve answered before, please answer on my behalf. Let me know what you’re achieving with your workouts. One of you told me you attacked 70-pound dums for the first time – I live for that stuff, man, so keep it coming. Out

LOL ya he is small in that clip for sure. That was kinda funny, I lol'd. :]

[Timbo89]

i say he's using roids again. I seriously believe it. I think hes gonna say hes going all-natural to boost some product he's using. and its a great approach, considering how everyone will think the product really helped him. But i think he's using gear again.

[wolverine]

I feel terrible for him, he was one of my fav's back in the day, that must be a huge burden on his Psyche being so small now. I imagine he will be using again, i hope he is clean though if he's going to blog his transformation.

Levrone Agrees to Steroid Test!
Written by John Romano
Tuesday, 30 June 2009 02:32

Bodybuilding icon Kevin Levrone's appearance on Heavy Muscle Radio this past Monday night, June 29, 2009, comes at the end of the fifth week of an amazing transformation "experiment" that he's taken on. So impressive are Levrone's recent gains in muscle and reductions in bodyfat, Dave Palumbo and I actually accused Kevin, on the air, of taking performance-enhancing drugs in order to realize these superhuman changes. Levrone vehemently denied any such allegation and put it out there, publicly, that he'd be willing to submit to drug testing; any time we wanted. In fact, Kevin requested that he be tested as soon as possible so that no one can accuse him of using fast-acting steroids that would clear his system before we got a change to check him out.



Dave and I had no choice but to take Kevin up on his challenge. While Dave is convinced Kevin is using "gear", I hope he's not. I hope he's telling the truth. I think it would be really inspirational to a lot of young people to know that Kevin did this naturally. However, it really doesn't matter to me. Even on a boatload of drugs, the gains Kevin has made in such a short time frame is nothing short of miraculous. I've known a lot of guys who used steroids over the years and I've never seen such an incredible transformation. Kevin is a true freak. But since Levrone did put it out there, we would be remiss as reporters if we didn't follow through with such a bold challenge. We will be speaking with Victor Conte-- a noteworthy resource in the area of performance-enhancing drugs-- regarding a reliable urine test, protocol, and trustworthy lab. We also have a noteworthy physician on hand to ensure that the administered tests and test results are not tampered with in any way whatsoever.



Stay tuned for updates on the Kevin Levrone drugtest! Details and updates will apear on the RX Muscle forums and when his test results come back from the lab we'll have Kevin back on Heavy Muscle Radio to discuss the outcome. Imagine the thrashing Dave and I are going to get if it turns out Kevin was clean?



For the complete story, listen to this past Monday, June 29th, edition of Heavy Muscle Radio.

Shock treatment eh? he's hitting his legs every other day on week 5...i've done this before and its brutal but i bet it works, what u guys think?

Levrone Transformation, Sled/Shrugs/Hyper Extensions • LevroneReport.com
July 2, 2009

Mixing it up a little with some power sled sprints, shoulder shrugs and hyper extensions for lower back.

The sled builds power and explosive acceleration, and is an intense anaerobic cardio workout. Harder than it looks – I had to catch my breath after that last set. If you don’t have a sled, try working some explosive sprints or hill climbs into your workout.

After you check out these videos, please let me know what you think my supplement should be called. As I mentioned, it’s NO-based, with a unique blend of natural anti-fatigue elements, mood elevators and flushing agents.

It makes me feel heated up, pumped and focused, and it allows me to get through ridiculously long, hard workouts. The blend is awesome. I make no such promises about the marketing – that’s where you come in.

Put up your product name idea right here on this thread in the next 24 hours. I’ll pick my top 5 then I’ll put it to a vote on this blog. Winner gets a free three-month supply of my formula and a personal phone call of gratitude from me.

– Kevin

Levrone Transformation, Week 6 update • LevroneReport.com
July 9, 2009
The past few days have been busy. I took a comprehensive steroid test at Quest Diagnostics, and then I traveled to the West Coast where I’ll be completing the rest of this transformation.


The Quest Diagnostics nurse oversaw the procedure. In a week or two the prescribing doc will give the results to Dave Palumbo, who arranged for the test after he attempted to call me out for using steroids during this transformation. I look forward to hearing Dave announce the results publicly. I realize this might be the first of many tests I’ll be asked to take. Doubters, bring it on.

I managed to get a few workouts in during all this and I posted the written programs below, plus a video clip where I talk about “old school” pullovers. Thanks again to the Finger Man for the raw food video. From the West Coast, Levrone out!

So who thinks this is real? In 7 weeks he`s come a long way, even on juice those changes are impressive!

Am listening to the "after hour show" on rx muscle and levrone just got the results from his drug test... He`s clean! He weighs 240lbs now and has about 6% bodyfat. Started at 205 and was 14% or so. So he did gain 40 lbs of muscle. Natural or not, that`s ****ing impressive!

It was 240! Dave even asked him how he can run weighing that much. Kevin said he ran 5 miles the other night. Take a look at his pic on rxmuscle, he looks bigger than 214 to me. Plus he started at 205, so that would not make the 40lbs muslce claim he professes to... Then he asked how many weeks the Olympia is in, they said 10. He seemed to be scratchin his chin on that one. Dude looks good.

[O-Train]

This is what Levrone looks like when he's not training. Week 1 my ass...The whole thing just stinks of bullshit. People like to believe in super heroes, big foot, unicorns....40lbs of muscle in 7 weeks. For anyone believing all of this. Do you have any conceptual grasp on what 40lbs of muscle looks like? Think 40lbs of steak...it would probably be the size of an average round kitchen table.

If you look closely there isn't a huge difference between the "Week 1" picture and the "Week 7" picture. You guys have seen Bigger Stronger Faster. You know what they can do to pictures. Standing relaxed vs. pumped up after a workout. I think he was on the sauce before this whole thing even started.

Also, the second picture is taken closer to him, with better lighting. I'll give them credit for using all the tricks in the book.

he passed the steroid drug test what about peptides , hgh and slin...

Derek Anthony was quick to point this out, saying there is all kinds of other stuff that don`t come up on the tests as well.... Most of the other guys on the rx muscle show did not believe his gains.

[Ritch]

he passed the steroid drug test what about peptides , hgh and slin...

However in another sense... People always say that stuff like gh, peptides and especially insulin is useless without roids, so even if it was those, how much can you credit them for? Just to play devils advocate here, since 5151 is no longer around.

[champcar99]

40 lbs of muscle in 7 weeks....I find that so hard too believe how is it possible for your body to produce that amount of muscle in such a short time at his age ? what about short esters like suspension , tren ace. test prop, , how long before those short esters are undectable ?

However in another sense... People always say that stuff like gh, peptides and especially insulin is useless without roids, so even if it was those, how much can you credit them for? Just to play devils advocate here, since 5151 is no longer around.

ya what about test suspension?

i mean kevin is a great guy.. but i cant see how after all of that steroid use in the past his natural test levels are at a normal level.. he should at least admit to an HRT level of use..

Say he used test suspension for a few weeks, you think it would still offer benefits 5 weeks later? The whole thing is just weird. He even said he leg pressed 11 plates a side for like 20 reps. I just don`t understand it. How can the body even handle that much weight so fast after such a long layoff? He benched some heavy weight on the bench in the very first few weeks back.

About the HRT use. Whenever someone says "I`m gonna do a cycle with 200mg of test" People always say that dose won`t do shit. So even if he is doing 200mg, what would it matter? It would most likely be to keep him in normal test ranges, nothing in the physiological ballpark from doses of 600mg and up.

lots of haters out there who dont like to admit that this game is so greatly controlled by genetics, something they have no control over. you cant gain 5lbs of lbm and its easier to accuse someone who can that they are cheating than blame yourselves for your shortcomings (this is a general statement not directed at anyone... just something i observe in life in general).

my take on the thing.... i really dont think the transformation he made is particularly impressive to be quite honest. the guy is clearly one of the most genetically gifted guys the sport has ever seen, and to go from the way he looks in week 1 pic to week 7 pic doesnt really surprise me in the least.

however, i think that some of it is manipulated as i mentioned somewhere before... i have a feeling his initial lifts etc were not true representations of what he was capable of at the time, and he clearly isnt the same weight/shape he competed at.

i would guess that sure, maybe he gained 40lbs and looks leaner, but he didnt gain 40lbs of lean muscle tissue.

for one of the most successful bbers of all time to go from where he was in week 1 to week 7 shouldnt shock you really.

We can't see the legs,Ritch.Who says the dope tests are worth two cents anyhow.

I`m sure he will post some up. Besides I don`t know anyone who can leg press 11 plates a side 20 times who has small legs... I`m no expert on drug test, so it`s hard to comment on those. But still, the guy looks better than I do right now and I`m on a cycle, lol

it would just make me believe him more if he admitted to HRT dosage thats all i am saying... who knows maybe his nuts are fine lol

anyways did anyone get his diet in the newsletter? he said he was gonna send it out but i may have been too late to sign up for his newsletter to get it

I once gained about 30 lbs in 2 months completely natural.

I dropped 1% BF too while doing this. It was obviously not ALL muscle.

It can be done. Especially by someone with that much muscle maturity, experience, and good genetics.

I didn't mean so much to judge his strength by the size,so much as to give us a better idea of his overall weight.I think he might be up that much since he really started...185 was it?Haven't been able to find my old bible yet,(written by that powerlifter/judge/doctor that the Dube inquiry didn't want to hear from) but unless you have a solid 6 month profile,people can beat tests...

I take it you were pretty young.Natural after your early forties is 3mph...no hate,just reality.

Why did Levrone give up on Competing? Did he have a health scare like Wheeler, and some of the other guys of his generation? Tom Prince, Mike Matarazzo, etc..?

I think he just wanted to get into acting and focus on other things like his band. Don't quote me on that though, there could be other reasons also.

His latest.

This reminds me of the scene in the movie meet the parents at the end where Ben Stiller is looking in the hidden camera and is saying "They teach you dat? They teach you dat in the CIA..." As he continues to "throw punches" then he pulls off the ultimate spinning back fist. Epic scene!

I also can't wait and see him build a 500Lbs squat, the 405 bench was pretty cool to see him get up there and progress over the weeks, Definitely a big inspiration to many!
