Kevin Levrone - Back in the Gym

Kevin hat sich entschieden wieder zum Eisen zu greifen und zu trainieren.



Sein Ziel ist also sein Gewicht von 206 Pfund (rund 93,5 Kg) auf 245 Pfund (rund 111,1 Kg) zu erhöhen.
Zurück auf die Bühne wird er aber (wohl) nicht mehr kommen.

Quoted

The Levrone Transformation starts today.
May 24, 2009

Today’s my first day in the gym. I’ll be posting some footage of the day later on.

I’m doing this steroid free. I’m coming from a low weight and I haven’t trained with free weights in over four years. The muscle memory and the fact that I’ll be ramping up my calories from 1,500 a day to 3,000 a day is why I believe I’m able to do 5 lbs a week. I’m going to do this safely and I’ll be telling you what I’m eating and what supplements I take, if any.

Kevin

Übersetzung:
Die Levrone-Transformation beginnt heute
Heute ist mein 1. Tag im Fitnessstuido. Ich werde im Laufe des Tages ein paar Ausschnitte davon veröffentlichen. Ich werde dabei roid-frei bleiben. Ich starte mit einem geringen Körpergewicht und habe seit über 4 Jahren nicht mehr mit freien Gewichte trainiert. Dank des Memory-Effekts und des Fakts, das ich meine Kalorien von 1500 auf 3000 am Tag erhöhen werde, glaube ich, das ich dazu in der Lage sein werde pro Woche 5 Pfund (rund 2,268kg) zunehmen zu können.

Day 1:



Quoted

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.

Levrone Transformation Update – 5/27/09

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

Third Workout

Quoted

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.

Kurze Zusammenfassung: Kevin hat heute mal seinen Armumfang gemessen: 18 inches = rund 45,7cm. Bezeichnet er selbst als klein.
Weiterhin bedankt er sich bei seinen Fans für die tolle Unterstützung auf seinen Blog.

Ich finde, es ist ein super Sache, dass Levrone wieder zum Bodybuilding zurückkommt. Jedoch verliert er deutlich an symptathie bei mir. Es ist bekannt, dass Levrone während der ganzen Zeit trainiert hat. Jetzt spricht er aufeinmal davon, dass er schon 3 Jahre keine Curls mehr gemacht hat. Zudem muss ich über die Aussage lachen, dass die Gewichtssteigerung ausschliesslich von der Erhöhung der Kalorien, des Trainings und des Memory-Effects kommt. Am besten sollte er darüber kein Wort verlieren.
Jedoch denke ich, dass Kevin damit leben kann, nur weil er bei mir ein paar Sympathiepunkte verloren hat :lach: Den Blog find ich trotzdem geil und werd natürlich immer wieder gerne reinschauen. :thumbsup:

Genau. Jungs und Mädels, die schon länger dabei sind, wissen wie der Hase läuft. Aber wie reagieren da Anfänger oder Minderjährige auf solche Aussagen? Jeder will heute so schnell wie möglich so viel Masse wie möglich zunehmen. Und manchmal sind gerade den jüngeren alle Mittel recht.

Aber nun wieder back to topic. Ich bin gespannt, ob er sein Ziel auch erreicht. :lupe:

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

Aber nun wieder back to topic. Ich bin gespannt, ob er sein Ziel auch erreicht. :lupe:
ich denke schon die ganze zeit darüber nach, ob er das wirklich natural durchziehen will...
seinen eigenen worten zufolge ein klares "ja"... ich glaube, man wird das nur anhand der
fortschritte und des endergebnisses beurteilen können... wäre ja denkbar, daß er diese neue
erfahrung wirklich mal machen will... daß er ein ausnahmeathlet ist, mit einer außergewöhnlichen
genetik gesegnet, wissen wir... wenn man diese genetik, die erfahrung, den willen, den memory-
effekt zugrunde legt, ist vieles möglich...

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
