Nothing impressive about his physique in that video, but he made me laugh at the end when he said he has to find himself a shirt....haha

THIS was impressive (1997 and 265 pounds):

He looked great there. I think he will be able to regain that size. At 44, the only thing that will come as a challenge is attaining that level of conditioning.
-
Full of shit. Levrone looks incredible in his 3 week video. He looks better than 98% of guys who go to the gym. It is impressive and one can only wonder whether or not he is actually "on". Im shocked to tell you the truth.
-
"on the road to recovery"
He speaks faster here, instead of that ultra slow, searching for the words speech. Maybe he's actually sober here.
-
More Proof of what Chick says these guys only use a VERY LITTLE amount of DRUGS.Oh FFS.
-
he already surpassed me now.
-
He looks very impressive in that clip!! On or not, that's incredible. In two months he's going to be a monster.
-
This is so insanely interesting, that its crazy. The most amazing part is how he's "growing" into a target weight, which is the complete opposite of what we're all used to seeing. He's one of the few BBers who can actually make something like this work. The only other BB I can think of that could do this and have it be as popular is Lee Priest.

Yeah, I know, out of all the modern bber's I think Levrone might be one of the few who actually grew into his competition weight, unlike 99% of bber's who diet down and lose weight.
The method was popular among old school bber's like Arnold and such. Might be better for the body in the long run.

Yea I remember a quote from him in an old Flex mag when he was saying how he specifically admired Franco Colombu's method of growing into a comp (not that he was the only one, but that's just the name that Kevin threw out there).
I agree about it being healthier for the body; look how young he still looks. And genetics aside, growing into every competition probably HELPED his muscle memory.

Arnold was able to do it too.

This is awesome. I'm glad he's making videos of his progress... gonna be a fucking freak in 2 months lol

levrone looked good when he had a ponytail in his younger days. With the bald head+no facial hair combo he looks like he has aids.

sad if so! but have you seen the way Levrone changed in a month or two during his competition days? i would think he could be 245-250 in a month of drugs. pretty cool of him to leave himself open to public criticism though

Training and steroids go hand and hand with these guys. I'd be surprised if they trained one year in clean, since they started working out.
Cutler, Warren, etc. Lifetime juicers. It's what they do.
Out of most pros, I'd say only a few ever put on 30lbs of muscle on their own.

Who really puts on more than 30 pounds of muscle naturally anyway? All of my natural or clean friends are in the same boat I am: strength goes up marginally, muscle mass, almost not at all.
-
i think alot of drugfree guys think they don't need 400 grams of protien a day because they are clean. if they did that much protien they would get alot bigger and gain muscle. i have always felt that if you get stronger without getting bigger; then your diet is lacking protien.
but what do i know, i'm a juicepig! lol

Please help me gain muscle. I weigh 180 but deadlift 500.

Levrone is a super responder... amazing bber...

Whats the meaning of this Body Transformation??
Will he do another one to go back to 150 pounds after?
WOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH !!
-
Please help me gain muscle. I weigh 180 but deadlift 500.
have you ever done 360 grams of protien every day for 30 days? it is not easy to intake that much protien. mostly powder is the easiest way. i'm pretty sure you will build 5-8 lb of muscle in a month, even clean.

It is all speculation as to whether or not he is saucing.......please don't accuse until you know for sure. The man has the ability to gain muscle rapidly, he could make serious changes without chemicals.
-
whats the point if he takes juice again? i mean those days are behind him, i dont see why it could be a challenge for him for not doing it natural. at the end there will be a point where he has to say goodbye to the juiced muscle again.

Lol, you cant be that naive, this whole thing is about making money, no doubt in a week he'll bust out some companys supplement or his own and claim to start taking it the same time he doubles his drugs dosage.He's already mentioned he may add a supplement, and said with a wry smile.Who is gonna be impressed when natural Levrone gains 6 pounds of muscle in 8 weeks?

i dont know about his commercial intentions but in that case it could explain all of this yes.

it would be a more convincing sale if he were to say in the beginning 'i will be training and taking XXXXX.' lets see what this product does for me.
to grow like a weed and then say, oh, by the way, i was on this supplement all the time and that's why i grew so good; wouldn't be as effective marketing.

You've been working out for 8 years and only weigh 180 pounds? How much did you weigh before you began? 120 pounds?

In that range, maybe 4-8 pounds heavier.

Amazing considering every supplement he 'reviewed' added 10lbs. Matty should weigh at least 400lbs by now.

I've been as high as around 200 before. My goal is to be 220. Please just help me! Eating a steak as we speak.

Less convincing, everyone would have seen it for a scam from the start.Slowly introducing the supplement after a few weeks is far less obvious.

matt c you can never be over 180 with good condition ever,,you need to hormonize ,,also your chest is horrid you got too big arms and delts while you dotn show the widness needed ,,your torse is not good i dotn knwo why but your arms are very good and delts are very good,,you need to bring up thickness of tors and work the torso way more than arms and delts ,,you need hormones ,,you are done growing naturally
you will go to gym 5 more years and look exactly same 5'9 167 when go off creatine and powder,,,179 when on creatine and podwer and guess what ,,you will dead lift 550,,and bench 300 and still be this size
the strongest bodybuilders are the smallest ones,,naturally speaking,,and this is in most cases true for hormonized too

360 grams of protien a day is equal to 4.5 lbs of meat per day.

Protein on itself doesn't build muscle. ;)

only thing he will do from 360 a day protien is FART,,he needs hormones,,he has the problem every natural guy has when they stoip at 180lb at his condition and stuck,,its common problem
hormones ! and not wait anymore,,you wont be 190 same condition ,.,,10 lb of muscle ..people dont get it even 5 lb of lean muscle is HUGE ENORMOUS DIFF!

This was a tough workout. Pushing 975 lbs on the leg press. Nonetheless Im lagging a little behind on legs. I look forward to adding more mass to my lower body in coming weeks. Ill be posting a pic of legs in a few days.
This transformation may look easy. Its not. Im going through a lot of pain. Its a restless feeling like the muscles cant relax. I dont take anything for it, I just want to deal with it.
When Im in the gym I feel great. You dont see the hard parts. Sometimes I have trouble getting out of the car, moving around, sleeping. Im 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, Im ripping myself apart as my body continues to adjust. Im breaking it down and feeling the pain. Thats what it takes to transform. Heres 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

Cripes! Do zoo lions even get given that much? That's a lot to ask of a digestive tract. I'd hate to be downwind of that. :-X
-
He's around my strength level and quite possibly a little stronger - all in the span of three weeks with his muscle memory? :o
Unreal.

As of right now, it's very close, but I might just give the edge to Kevin. Amazing for three weeks back in the gym, or even three months for that matter.

It's gonna be funny at the end of this transformation when he is somehow repping 405 on the bench press....."naturally" ::)

This is the original...
Thanks for your support bro.

While I will agree with you on this statement as it relates to natural bodybuilding, bringing in hormones is an entirely different ballgame so it would be impossible to judge until I am actually on them. My structure will obviously remain the same but it is completely possible that I would put on mass.
Also, Ronnie is better than Dorian.

Every posts of yours lately is either something really really clueless and stupid, fan boy bullshit nut hugging or some stupid video of yours showing that a lifetime of lifting can result in fuck all... Have you always been this naive, stupid and clueless? or was I just unaware of your shortcomings?

So you disagree that Kevin has an incredible response to hormones and excellent muscle memory? I'm just telling it like it is and I'm certainly not the only one who is impressed with his short transformation.
or some stupid video of yours showing that a lifetime of lifting can result in fuck all...
That depends on the standard you are applying. I'm never going to be over 200 pounds naturally. I'll also gladly admit to my genetic shortcomings in terms of structure and ability to gain muscle mass. I can get pretty lean when I want to though.
However, as far as strength is concerned, I can walk into any gym in the city at any time of the day and be in the top three strongest people there, if not the strongest which I usually am.
Genetic strength freaks apparently only train at the gyms of other getbiggers. At the gyms I train at, no one really ever bench presses over 315 or deadlifts over 405, leg presses 10 plates a side, etc.

deadlifting 500 naturally is very impressive yes

I'll admit I wish I had better genetics for gaining mass and that I don't and admire those who do. I think you either have it or you don't.

You have the shoulders of a 250lb bodybuilder on a 180lb frame... do they always attract compliments?
-
The most hilarious and ignorant posters in this thread are the ones who think for one second he is going to make a "natural" comeback. Yes, he does have the insane muscle memory, after being "off" for so long his receptors are not burned out.
He will also be boat-loading many things one, on top of the other.
He will easily blow up and past old-timer Strydom proportions... and when he decided it's time for a break and he has achieved what he wanted to prove, he will shrink right back to where he was without even trying.
The man already has Olympia winning natural genetics. He could not even attempt to do what he is doing now without drugs. If he did, he would end up injuring himself and maybe burning off a little flab.
Seems to me there are quite a few posters here that know what its like to train your ass off naturally.
Once you have reached your natural peak, all you have to do is juice to push you to the next level... that is; a level you NEVER would have reached without drugs.
If you want to stay natural, stay natural. Don't think for one second that increasing your supplement intake (vitamins, protein, creatine) whatever.. is gonna do a damn thing.
Kevin will be able to eat whatever the hell he wants. He is gonna blow up. Doesnt matter if he takes in a little extra protein or not. He may just increase his Capn Crunch in the morning.
You guys who have never juiced but have reached your natural plateau (and are wishing and dreaming for more muscle) are doing one thing and one thing only: Making stupid supplement companies richer.
Deal with it.
-

Yes actually. That is really the only area I consider to be a strength. That and possibly arms although my biceps are not very long.

Why do you refuse to respond to my charge of you already having done steroids? ;)
Also...
I think I may still be marginally stronger than Kevin,
I don't think you were stronger than him at any point. He could probably have doubled your reps on the deadlift. At his weakest. If he wanted to and used similar form.

No.
Too bad.

In 3 weeks he's gonna be looking then anyone on getbig and slowly overtaking guys like Phil Heath...

in 3 weeks he's surpassed what takes most (REAL) natural guys 12-15 years... phenom.

I have to agree with this in comparison to people I know from the gyms I've trained at - 99% of people that is. There are some exceptions, but they are few and far between.
