Another vid is up, this one is actually really interesting:
Levrone said one of his secrets was that before a show he would jump in the sauna to get that last bit of water out from under his skin. Hopefully he will be putting pics up within the next few days and we can see this 5% bf he has been talking about.
I am actually worried he might look like Brad Pitt.
Too small…
unless he drops 75 lbs of mass overnight, I dont think thats gonna happen Alpha F
Chest, Shoulders & Tris
another vid is up…

Are you kidding me? Levrone is just a tad bit bigger than Brad Pitt.

I just meant I didn’t want to see him diet down to look “big enough” for Hollywood which is not big enough for us.
It reminds me of The Rock who lost his size to appeal/be more marketable to the main stream.
I can’t speak for the others but I doubt I am the only one here who would rather see him bulk to see how big he can get naturally rather than cut right now.
I dont think Dewayne Johnson has lost size as much as he has just gotten leaner since getting out of the WWE, the food and training these guys have at their disposal are very limited when doing 200 shows a year
The cutting phase has come to an end and Levrone finally posted pictures. He is carrying alot of size, impressive.

He says he guesses he’s at 4.5%bf, maybe its just me or the lighting or something but he looks 8% at best. Still pretty lean and still quite big. No doubt impressive.
Excellence.
his most muscular pose is always so bad ass. Definitely not 4.5% but he looks damn good regardless.

Yeah good point.The Rock use to eat pizza nearly everynight in his hotel room he use to say because it would be the only thing open at that time of night (when show finishes) apart from denny’s which the wrestlers eat all the time.
Food wise during the day is not so bad as each event has plenty of food backstage for the wrestlers and crew. So they could easily pack up a few chicken breasts and take them on the road,but i get what u are saying.
What were levrone stats when he was at his Peak?
heaviest contest weight was 256 i belieave

Are you guys serious? The Rock shrunk like cotton tee shirts in hot water. In fact, most of the big guys including MC Duncan are now smaller. I think Duncan is down to or below 250…which for him is down right anorexic considering where he was in movies like the Green Mile and DareDevil where he nearly hit 340lbs.
I can understand they are trying to appease casting directors but I will be glad when this “get smaller” fad passes for actors. They were calling Christian Bale “fat” in Batman Begins…and that’s just retarded.

Well, bale didn’t look like much in the dark knight… Guess he took their comments to heart.
As for the Rock, hey, definitely gotten smaller… But his size also seems to vary from movie to movie. In the one where he plays that gay bodyguard he seemed to be smaller than usual and he had some movies where he looked a bit bigger, or perhaps just fuller. Might be that my memory isn’t so good, though, so don’t quote me on this stuff.
I was usually paying more attention to any above-average-looking female actors than the rock, no offense to him

I’m convinced that Bale is paying the price for his kamikaze dieting: post - Batman Begins, he starved himself for a second time to play Dieter Dengler in Rescue Dawn.
Sure, it wasn’t as extreme as in The Machinist, but in recent years he doesn’t nearly look as muscular as he was in Equilibrium, Reign of Fire, or even American Psycho… even though some of his roles have called for that kind of development (especially TDK and Terminator: Salvation).
As if he hasn’t done enough damage to himself, he’s now playing drug-addicted trainer/ ex-boxer Dickie Eklund in The Fighter, and is starving himself again.
I’d be really interested to see if he could regain anything approaching his previous size. I’m really doubtful that he could. These days he always looks gaunt (sunken cheeks, pale skin)- even in ‘everyman’ roles.
Bale has always let his roles dictate his physical look: in Reign of Fire, he decided that after years of living underground, his character would be emaciated - that is, until Matthew McConaughy turned up on set looking like (in Bale’s words) “a brick shithouse”).
Likewise, his build in Batman Begins was meant to reflect the look of a man who had spent his whole life training to wage war on crime. Recently, he just seems to have given up on that level of preparation.
His body just seems to be saying: “enough with the abuse - I’m done”.

I remember hearing somewhere around the time his second batman movie was coming out that Christian was saying that he considers bulking up to be harder than dieting and that he didn’t want to do it again. This makes sense I guess as you have to work really hard and eat all the time and a lot of planning goes into it. He hated overeating. Meaning forcing himself to eat nonstop when he wasn’t even hungry. You can starve yourself while jerking off on your couch. Building up your body takes a lot more time comitment. Of course I am not downplaying the mental toughness needed to starve yourself for months on end. But that is what I heard somewhere. Wish i had a link or something.
But to say he somehow damaged himself and now can’t put on muscle is a bit rediculous. Could he of damaged his metabolism long term? Sure. But he was never “that” big and he has muscle memory on his side so I dont see it as a problem. He’s skinny because he wants to be.
