…so do psychopaths.

Levrone is turning into a poet! This transformation has been really motivating. Levrone should be the face of BB, it’s hard not to like the guy.

Yea that was a cool quote and he is actually referencing an old message he used in the past as an intro for one of his contests. Seems like it’s his way of saying thanks for all the support and a way to reference something from his contest days.

He says it at the very beginning of this montage:

“The Levrone report out baby” He’s the man.

His training routine just goes to show once again that there are no secret exercise, magical mass building splits or training programs for getting results just hard work using the big basic lifts that have been around for generations.

the secrets are mostly the diet and some other “helps”

keep doing the same over and over and ur body will stop growing.

I aggree with much of everything you have said Alpha F, but comparing Arnold to these days pchysics is just not very smart, Arnold did what he did to win at that TIME!!!

I agree with you! I wasn’t comparing his physicality, I was comparing character and acting capacity/responsiveness to audience.
Yes, Arnold was very charismatic, very engaging with the audience and very hardworking ( and so are psychopaths - I am not implying he is one but these are not necessarily athletic/sportsman traits ) even more hardworking than most since I think he had to, as he wasn’t that gifted genetically.
If we are going to praise him for hard work and entertainment value then yes, he is king. But as a gifted athlete/bodybuilder he was mediocre at best, in my opinion. Others are welcome to see his athletic superiority - I just see something else.

As a man I find him charming, entertaining even adorable. He was such a bad actor and yet he made it, now what kind of skill is that, talent? No. Charisma and flaunting bags of self-esteem - he knows how to put his best foot forward.
As a bodybuilder he was a manipulator, not a terminator. He knew how to get people to buy his package. And how to elevate himself by putting his opponents down. If he was that great he wouldn’t need such cheap shots.

This is just my subjective perception. It is my experience and everyone else may have experienced it differently.

I really don’t know how his genetics for bodybuilding can be questioned let alone denied.

Even today it’s hard to find a 19 year old that is as impressive as he was at 19.

(Not that such a time point proves everything, but it takes out of the picture the years of dedicated and well-performed work that otherwise, if there are unknown-to-us differences in the quality, would be major factors in comparing bb’ers for apparent degree of natural gift.)

I was going to ask if anyone has done this before. IE: a Ronnie Coleman dropping weight to a tight 230lbs for “everyday life”. I remembered that Dorian Yates has somewhat done something similar, the video’s I’ve seen of him show him at a more “healthy weight”, and I can believe he’s not on gear.

I believe for this Levrone thing, that muscle memory will take him pretty far - even off the roids, as long as he eats enough and gets enough drive to go at it.

I don’t think 40lbs in 8 weeks solid muscle off the roids is realistic, but in a year to get to 80% of what he was geared up, I think is possible.

This is definately going to be interesting.

What also will be interesting is pro’s or retired pro’s “backing up” to a tighter and more healthy every day weight either when taking a very long break or out of that game.

chest and shoulders

Casey Viator dropped very dramatically, without getting fat, after suffering an injury and, I think, infection. I don’t recall precisely but I believe he fell to about 165 lb.

However, there is testimony that he was on the juice for his remarkably swift comeback (aka “the Colorado Experiment”). Which was for that reason, not surprisingly, a much faster re-gain than Levrone’s.

Whoa, Kevin and I have the same birthday, that just made my morning haha

What is with the related videos all being about boeing 717’s?

Levrone is the man. I love how serious he is in his update videos. No-nonsense workout routines and no BS.

With Prince it was out of necessity because of medical reasons.

Not even that. He had complete kidney failure. He is lucky he didn’t drop far below a healthy body weight, let alone just drop some muscle mass. Unless they just quit lifting and eating, very few of these guys drop all of their muscle mass without doing it on purpose or it being due to disease.

Here is Levrones second last workout:

His arms are dwarfing his shoulders.

Levrones drug test results are in!
